Awesome, thanks for that!

When I do that, should it obey Z space by default, or do I still need to do something with the ‘obscuration layer’ controls?

Thanks Andrew

I’ve been watching some of your tutorials mate – they’re really excellent buddy – extremely clear and user friendly, and really up to the minute style-wise.

Actually, after watching your ‘iPod streaks’ podcast, I wonder – have you ever done anything on the styles that ‘psyop.tv’ use? [ They’re my absolute heroes – Amazingly seamless blend of live action and graphics ]

Thanks again

Yeah I was trying out Andrew’s iPod streaks tutorial as well and I tried to move some text [ on a 3d layer ] through the streaks, but it would not obey Z space?!

Even when I tried using the ‘obscure layer feature within Particular…?

What’s up with that?!

Great, thanks for that mate!

Amazing – I was feeling homicidal and very alone until I stumbled on this thread!

I can’t believe everyone’s writing about exactly the same issues I’ve been having!

Is there any potential relationship with these issues and the ATI x1900 card [ i discovered when I looked for a latest driver download that the latest one is still only for PowerMac G5 – is this right?! ].

Forgive my tech ignorance if this theory is TOTALLY unrelated…

So AE8 in about June?

Mate, you’re WAY ahead of me – I’ve just gotten the same set up as you – Mac Pro + ATI + AE7 – but in preferences it says that my card only supports lights and shadows in open GL [ apparently no support for blur, blending modes, etc ]. Am I missing something?!

Also, AE7 crashes A LOT – is that normal?

And wisdom / insight would be hugely appreciated!

Cheers
