Cool. I was assuming it would be worse. The good thing then is, you can write a nice little expression linked to a slider to rotate the directional blur on the 2 layers so the sparkles rotate.

Don’t thhink that would work with graphics AFAIK. You would have to shoot something with 2 cameras at an eye width apart. On one cam the pola on the lens would be 90 degrees off from the pola on the other camera. So when projected it works with the pola glasses.
Another possible option although complecated is to use LCD glasses which pulse your view between eyes many times a second.
these are guesses though.

After reading your post again, are you saying that AE won’t import 3D files to keep 3D objects in the App?
Or are you saying it only supports the bmp graphics format and vector formats like .ai and .eps?
AE like Combustion is not true 3D and won’t support 3D objects natively. You can import some 3D objects using Invigerator for minimal work (usually logos and type treatments).
But why not do like the 99% of 3D/Compositing work and render out your shots from the 3D app and comp them as 2D files in AE?

That couldn’t be farther from the truth. AE will import a TON of different formats even very obscure ones.
You could try:
Quicktime (any codec in there. Animation codec recommended).
TIFF
RLA
RPF
Targa
IFF
PICThe list goes on.

Or you can just simulate Starglow. It’s extremely simple (unless you want to incorporate ALL the features).
Here’s How:
1. Duplicate the footage. Add hue/sat to it. Use this to pull out all the saturation. Then add a Levels. Crush down the blacks and gammas agressively. Then clip the whites a bit. The point being, you don’t want to see greyscale anymore, you just want the very brightest bits to be white and everything else black. Add a Gaussian blur to this layer. Except make the blur horizontal only. Now crank the blur waaay up. Now add a glow effect. Change the glow colors to hues you like.
Now Duplicate this layer with these effects on it. On the second layer, change the gauss blur to be vertical-only instead of horizontal.
Now set these two additional layers to SCREEN transfer mode. Now you have a starfilter effect on only the lightest parts of the image.
