I have run into this many times and my first approach is to scale up the artwork in Illustrator and then maybe play with the pixel settings in PS to get a clean result. This usually fixes the problem but if not, as Brian said, you need to redraw yourself.
With that said, with text, I have often contacted my clients to find out the actual font(s) used so I can just build within C4D, skipping AI and PS altogether.

Odd thing I found. I turned auto tangent back ON, then OFF again. That fixed the problem. Very strange.

Thanks, that is helpful but how do I turn these paths into a 3d object that actually is raised in the middle like the tree, and that edge tapers down properly too?

I figured it out, thanks for your scale question!! My snowflake was WAY too huge. I have brought it down to a small enough size to where I am getting terrific DOF.

Yeah, the scale thing is something I was wondering about. This is something I was wondering about and the original paths to Illustrator file is kinda huge. Thing is, I am getting reasonably good results with the emitter snow DOF, but I am thinking it might improve drastically too. Let me put together a .rar. Thanks Brian.

Okay, so I figured that out finally and found a way around it. I work with masks all the time and have never seen this before when scaling a layer. Is this a Trapcode Particular quirk? Also, the text is in a precomp that is not 3D.

Sorry, so the answer is no. Seems like there should be an easy fix

I am animating a tire puncture. It is the tip of a rock that I want to just sit there while it is touching a collider object (the rest of the rock that does not puncture), then a rigid body object (a truck wheel) comes by and that will pass THROUGH the tip of a rock. For some reason the tire is treating the tip of the rock like a collider body and rolling over it instead of passing through as if it is puncturing. Im doing it this way because there is less to calculate than using a collider deformer.
