    I actually started with that and soon realize a box will just not work with a slick slim brand new LCD TV. So I used a bunch of layers for depth and now it’s working okay with just regular layers and effects, none of that new high techy CS3 stuff.

    People never trusted Windows XP when it came out. Why have a slower Windows 2000 with nothing but security issues?
    That’s the way it is with Vista today IMHO. But things move on, everybody with AE will want to utilize at least 4GB and sooner than later, 8GB of RAM. Vista will improve and get more support and apps to work on it and will be the tool for everyone, from high end animation artists such as ourselves to kids playing their latest High def 3D game.
    And then I guess everyone will ridicule the next MS OS. And Adobe, as always, will keep on making wonderfull tools and taking their sweet time to fix the bugs. I still have a first red frame when importing HDV on all Adobe apps.

    I would also beware of shape layers anything which is new to AE CS3. Perhaps all this will work in CS4 (on Vista 64 bit!)

    It appears that layer styles doesn’t work well in 3D space. Go figure.

    This also happens when I rotate the entire thing rather than the camera. I know I am looking at the back of the front layer, where are all the rest. I’ve tried playing around with it and it seems that for some reason AE picks up the top show first rule rather than using the 3Do front shows first rule.
    Still can’t solve it.

    what do you use if you want the x and the z to remain without expressions interference (but not with a static value) and just change the y?

    I hear your pain, man. It’s also not as easy as tracking shaky footage in After Effects.
    I’ve decided to go with Wave World and Caustics, and a bit of clever masking combined with Mesh Warp, Scatter and a combination of blurs. I could not locate a footage of waves crashing to shore but it’s alright.

    I am trying to avoid working in 8-bit, and it would be difficult for me to convince the 3dmax people to change the way they do things since I am merely a freelancer. I was hoping to locate a third party tool.

    No, previous projects used a color map instead.
