    Yeah kind of disappointing especially since Adobe has a tutorial out that makes it seem so easy to convert illustrator paths with fills to shapes in After Effects. But the past 5-8 times I’ve tried the fills never converted properly. Talk about bad luck.

    The only thing I use Raytrace for is camera tracking and extruding very simple things like text. Even then I just export the extrusion as a picture because the requirements for rendering at an acceptable pace in Raytrace, i.e. NVDIA graphic cards, I don’t have.

    Oh well, I guess After Effects is mainly a motion graphic, colouring application and they still have a long way to go when it comes to 3D. Can’t knock them for trying!

    Hey,

    I honestly just gave up with Raytracing in AE. I never figured out how to keep all of the elements from Illustrator when I converted into shapes. All Adobe help has to offer is to say that only some elements will work. So I just started using Cinema 4D. Clearly, AE’s 3D component has a really long way to go!
