Question

Is it possible to flatten a 3D layer?

Hi all! I am working on an animation for an app in After Effects. That animation needs to be a lottie file. The problem is that I am using a rotating coin that is a 3D layer. As you all know 3D layers are not supported by lottie. Is there any way that I can bake/flatten the 3D layer and transform it into a frame by frame animation?

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi!

    I’m having the same issue. Any updated solution for this?

    Lottie only exporting my animation in 2D, not using my z-index values for final output.

    Long and short: Don't even bother. Export the tumbling coin as a separate animation, optimize it as ana animated GIF in photoshop, link and embed it by editing the published Lottie code.

    Pre-compose. That will turn it into pixels though.
