CS6 After Effects is not rendering 3D layers in correct order - text anyway

May 19, 2012 11:30 AM

3 x layers, all 3D. A floor, a layer in front on the Z axis, a layer 300 pixels behind it and a standard camera.

The front layer is an image of an apple. BUT the text behind it in Z space ALWAYS shows up in front of it.

I've re-created it in CS5.5 and it works fine. Do exactly the same thing in CS6, and no joy. Text layers seem to render in front. I don't want to use the raytrace engine as I am using multiply on the floor object.

Anyone else having this problem?

No problems here. Anything specific applied to your layers?

Nope. I will make a render over the weekend and upload.

At least post a screenshot of your Timeline panel and Composition panel.
