Thanks a lot, Dan!

It worked… as always!

Sorry for the late reply, I have been offline for a couple of weeks 🙂

well… I tried, it happened to me to be the default 3d render after an update.

If you have already made a similar project and you are experiencing now low performances after the update you can always try to downgrade to the previews version.

I am on the latest version of AE, but I am on windows and I have not experienced differences in performances with the 3d layers.

Your settings of AE seem correct… I don’t see why it should perform right.

You can check in video rendering and effects in project settings if switching between Open CL or METAL can help.

…and use 8bit per channel you you don’t need 16or32…

I hope it helps.

Hi,

from what I have understood you are moving a 3D camera over a “3D layer” (3d cameras don’t affect 2d layers). That 3d space of your composition can be rendered with “Classic 3D” or “CINEMA 4D”. The second one is much heavier and slower. Go to your Composition Settings – 3d Render and check it is set to “Classic 3d”. This could solve your problem.

Wow!
It works very well.

Thanks a lot Andrei!

I’ve used this on a null position which is the other end of the string and is positioned outside of the comp:

L = thisComp.layer(“puppet null”).toWorld([0,0,0]);

[value[0],L[0]+Math.abs(L[0])*.5]+value;

Thanks Dan,
you are my hero!!
This works beautifully!
It would be great to understand how you made it, I am trying to understand how the expression works, but I think not getting it yet. ????

Thanks a LOT!????
