This is after effect beta and I can't see mercury 3d like everyone else.

That is what the new 3D rendering engine is called. There is no list of unsupported features yet in the Composition/Advanced settings. Build 24.0.0 (44) has a short list of material options (press aa), and the layers and lights will not cast shadows.

Thanks for the explanation. So there is no more mercury 3d? And where can I find the list of material options?

In the current build, there are only a few options. Select a 3D layer and press the A key twice to see what is available. That goes for any 3D layer, light, or camera.
