Thanks again Todd. Perhaps bundled is the wrong word. It’s an effect on a camera layer. > Make all layers 3D > add a camera > right click on the camera layer (or go to layers > Camera) choose Create Stereo 3D rig.
Oddly enough, I had an Adobe pop-up that came today asking me to download updates. I did. The iris diffraction error message is gone and the 3D effect is looking better, but only with the Balanced Red Blue LR setting in the 3D glasses effect, which strips the color out of the image. When using Balanced Colored Red Blue option I keep the color but all I see is ghosting and a very confusing image. If I try to remove the ghosting by using a different setting in Stereo Scene Depth or Scene Convergence, I lose the 3D look altogether. The only way I get a 3D look is by using a 3D view that’s uncolored.
My current scene depth setting is 3. Converge cameras is checked. Scene depth is 0. I’m using the cardboard red/blue(cyanish) glasses to view.
Suggestions? Thanks

Hm. Why would I get an error then? The 3D rig effect came bundled with the original CS6 software as part of the install.
Thanks for any insight into what I see as an anomaly.

Hi, thanks for responding. I’m on CS6 Academic.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your reply. You’ve helped with projects in the past.
Yes, I’ve tried the write-on effect. It’s a painfully slow process when you get to the cross-strokes on a script font with variable stroke widths…practically have to keyframe every frame. I was hoping for a more automated approach.
Alternatively, I tried using a matte layer of the font hoping I could just swash a fat brush over the whole thing, but again, the fat brush reveals to much of the letter at one time…as with a lower case “t”. If the brush is too fat for the downstroke it will reveal the cross stroke too soon.
I’ve looked all over for a way to do this, but everyone seems to be having the same problem with script fonts. The fastest way I found was to break up the letters into separate masks…but if there’s a way to do this more quickly I’d really appreciate knowing the method.

Yes. I’ve done the stroke effect, however the script that I’m revealing is a pen stroke that has variable widths as if with a feather pen. This makes it very difficult to do the stroke. I’ve also tried making the stroke and adding a track matte of the actual font so the stroke reveals only the matte of the font, however because of the variable width of the pen stroke, the wider pixel strokes may be too thick for some parts revealing areas of the next letter before they would actually appear. I am using Ribbon font.
Any further help would be appreciated.

This is hopeful. I’m on my 20th hour of compositing this job and it’s finally rendering, so I won’t stop to check out your tip ’til tomorrow, but I definitely will make the adjustments for the final comp. I came up with some crazy workarounds but they just don’t look like the real thing. Hope you’ll keep checking this string…anxious to see if it works…

Hi Vishesh, I’ve embedded this image. Hope you can see it.

Here’s the link to how it looks
Yes, depth of field is on, but new information, it happens when I just turn on 3D even without the camera.

I uploaded the image. Hope you can see it.

don’t know if you saw my last amended note. It also looks like a dissolve mode when I turn on 3D – even without the camera.
Thanks -
Actually, it’s only when I turn on 3D…even without the camera. I have a plug-in called 3D assistants that’s kind of old. Could that be making the problem?
Thanks
