One way I can think to fake it would be to animate (or use an expression) to link the camera movement to an Offset effect….

Hi Roland,

Thanks for replying. Just FYI this comp was using only point lights as the source…

Thanks for looking at this, Ross.

To clarify, these layers are all parallel, sorry the perspective is a bit misleading on the screenshot.

For now, I solved the problem by breaking the expression for z-depth and setting the layers roughly 5px apart.

My guess is that this is a rendering issue related to shadow casting. There seems to be a minimum distance between layers required for the shadow to be cast, and if that distance is not met then the shadow itself becomes a layer that causes clipping errors.

Strange, but the only logical explanation I can think of…

I’m going off memory here, but don’t particular particles interact with lighting by defaults (as in, without the solid containing the effect being a 3d layer?)

The voice of reason is not welcome here!

But seriously, I appreciate your advice, and in the end, what you say is right. I think at a gut level I have already reconciled to that, but at a curiosity level, I am still intrigued by this problem, both its uniqueness and the sheer frustrating nature of it.

Thanks again,

Raza
