Animate 3D glitches
If this has been covered somewhere else, I apologize. Feel free to redirect me.
But after not using the 3D tools in Animate for a number of years, I'm teaching a class in this again. And the 3D tools are not behaving at all how I remember them (or in any way that is useful). I've also got a video showing the glithces below. There are two. They feel related.
Glitch no 1 is that when I change any 3D property, it automatically readjusts after I let go of the mouse. I tell something to be at 300 z position, it moves itself to 400+. I rotate something half way along the y axis, it over-rotates to the other side. Not only does this work very differently than in older software versions, but it makes working impossible. How can anyone plan an animation, then the program readjusts everything on you?
The second glitch has to do with nested 3D animation. If there is any 3D manipulation inside a movie clip at all, the animation outside that MC gets weird. It's as if the anchor point is jumping around. It triggers as soon as I take a motion path in a motion tween and bend it. And even after I put things back, the anchor point jump is permanent. (I'm only guessing it's an anchor point issue. The anchor point itself doesn't actually move. But things behave as if it did).
Thank you for any guidance in this. It's so severe, I feel like I'm missing a step or setting up the file wrong for the new version.
