Share the project file with me via Dropbox. Make sure to collect files. Invite me to share the Dropbox folder. Use chris@mettle.com
I will see what I can do.

I thought the new driver fixed things for you? Please e-mail me at chris@mettle.com
FreeForm V2 can do this with puppets too and it does not have not rely on the Display card (GPU).

It is very easy to get confused. I have been looking into this for a while now and some things still elude me.
Small contribution to unraveling this mystery… as far as I know Classic 3D in AE CS6 does benefit from the GPU. Not just the U.I.but also in interaction and rendering. Try the following. Use a layer extruder script with Classic 3D (AKA advanced 3D in CS5.5 and earlier). Then try the same technique in CS6 Classic 3D. Night and day. In CS5.5 you had an option to use openGL in the AE prefs as well is in the render queue. In CS6 it is no longer there, as I understand it, this is because it is on all the time now.
The new AE raytracer is basically NVIDIA’s Optix technology, which if I am not mistaken is Mental Ray ported to the GPU (simplified explanation).
When trying to make a decision on a GPOU there is much to consider, CUDA cores are one thing but many a developer (us included) opted not to do what we do with CUDA. Rather we decided on openGL + openCL. So the trick is try to find a balance. Follwoing is one site that may be of assistance: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/

My pleasure Anne, glad all is good now. Would love to see your puppet when you are done. Please post it. Have a nice weekend 🙂

Hi Anne,
CS5 or CS6? Do you have the latest version of Catalyst? Catalyst is the driver for your ATI card. Please get in touch with me at chris@mettle.com or through our tech support : https://www.mettle.com/technical-support/
I will be happy to help any way I can.
Cheers,

Thanks for mentioning FreeForm Andrey. Yes you can do it with our stuff and it was bundled with CS5 – no longer with CS6 but still available on our website. You would need to create a displacement map and use that on FreeForm with our 3D displacement feature. But looking at the example shown, you can use a layer extruder too to do this. There are many scripts out there for layer extrusion simulation in CS5.

Thanks Tudor. I am very biased but not sure if we could meet the deadlines etc. on a project we are working on right now if we did not have the speed of our products and all of the goodness of CS6. We are working to a format of 5,000 pixels x 1080. 2D + 3D mograph, tons of assets to re-size and re-frame etc. etc. CS6 Rocks! We are doing everything in CS6.
