3D layers won't show up in renders!

I have briefly worked with 3D layers before, and they have worked fine. I don't believe I have changed any settings from last time since it was literally just days ago. But for this project, I can't seem to be able to get the preview to render without using Draft3D, and when rendering/exporting, all 3D layers are invisible but somehow still consume computation time.

I have tried clearing the cache, switching between Classic3D and Cinema4D, CUDA and OpenCL and software rendering, rendering in AE and Pr and AME, but nothing works. Help would be much appreciated! 🙂

 

idk what settings I should be touching so here is everything that I can think of to be related 😛

 

Render Settings

 

 

GPU Infomation

 

 

Project Settings

 

 

Composition Settings

UPDATE:

I had the idea to make a new composition and create the camera and import the footage and pre-comps from scratch, then copy over all the keyframes, and it seems that this did the trick. I still have no idea why the original composition is bugged, but it is now resolved (kinda). Thanks to everyone who made suggestions 🙂

As I mentioned, I tried all combination of settings that I can think of. Classic 3D, C4D, whatever. Nothing works.
