Hi,

Every time i try to apply the advanced 3D to any layer (f.e. a solid or even text) , it says this:

"advanced 3d plugin generated an unexpected exception" and then after effects closes/crashes.

 

I tried a couple things but nothing worked. And google isnt helpful either.

 

Any ideas?:)

I'm having a similar issue with the advanced 3D. I tried with the 1080p comp and a solid layer, As soon as I make it 3d, the layer disappear. But when I switch to classic 3D or Cinema 4D renderer, everything works fine.

Also,  if AE asks you to report the failure to Adobe,  please do so as this helps diagnosis.  (Adding your community username to the report notes would also help us find your specific failure's info.)

If you are experiencing a problem like this,  as a test please create a simple AE project from scratch with a 1080p comp with a single solid 3D layer + Advanced 3D renderer.   Does that fail?   

If that does not fail,  are you adding a 3D layer to an existing project that has other GPU using effects applied?   Does turning off those GPU effects temporarily stop the 3D rendering problem?  Which GPU effects?  What comp resolution are you using?

Having same issue its definately a bug and now i cant open my after effects project with multiple compositions and have to start all over again although i only have 2 days left to deliver to client, really frustrating. All because I used advanced 3d render in 1 comp. I have Geforce RTX 3070 Laptop and never experienced any issues like this. Even tried an auto save from before but same issue.

Did you find a solution to the problem? I have a similar problem, including activating draft 3D

What do you mean, "Apply the advanced 3d to any layer"? Do you mean switch the Comp Renderer to Advanced 3D? 

 

What GPU do you have installed?
