advanced 3d problem

I'm running into a consistent crash in the latest version of After Effects whenever a composition requires the Advanced 3D renderer. The app immediately throws an error stating:

"After Effects can't continue: Advanced 3D plug-in generated an unexpected exception."

I am forced to switch back to Classic 3D, but I really need to use the Advanced 3D features. I've already installed Cinema 4D, but the issue persists.

Here are my system and driver specs:

  • GPU: NVIDIA T1200 Laptop GPU (4 GB VRAM)

  • Driver Version: Release 595 (Conservative / Production-tested branch)

  • Application: After Effects (Latest CC Version)

  • I have tried many versions including 26&25
