why does the blend mode option go away when you make a layer 3d? is that on purpose? or a glitch?

why does the blend mode option go away when you make a layer 3d? is that on purpose? or a glitch? I Dont remember having this issue in After Effects 2023. i'm running AE 24.6.1 (Build 2)

Sounds like you're using one of the 3D renderers that doesn't support blend modes. If you switch to Classic 3D in your Composition settings you should see the blend modes return.

thank you. Never knew that was a thing (that blend modes could go away with certain 3d renderers)
