aftereffects things stop working when they're both a continuously rasterized composition and 3D

I've been having a very specific problem that I can't seem to find any explanation for.

 

When I have a small animated composition that I put into a larger composition and then put that smaller composition on a 3D plane in the larger composition, it's perfectly fine and works great.

However, as soon as I turn on the continuous rasterization for that small composition in the large composition, it yeets itself off the 3D plane and the cube symbol showing that it's a 3D layer doesn't dissapear but becomes a sort of compound arrow. This is a problem because one of my assets is looking comically blurry next to my other ones without the continuous rasterization.

 

It only happens when the composition is: animated, continuously rasterized inside a larger composition, and on a 3D plane.

 

If anyone knows how to solve this problem, I'd really appreciate your help. Thank you!

The switch have 2 functions: continuously rasterize for vector layers, and collapse transformations for compositions. In your case, if continuously rasterize is off, Ae renders that comp and displays the resutl in the main comp. But when you switch continuously rasterize on (it's  called collapse transformations in this case), Ae reads the 3D data of the layers that are inside of that comp and display those in their respective place in the 3D space of the parent comp, that's why the layers change their position in this case.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
