Transform effect doesn't work on 3d layers

New Here ,
Feb 23, 2024 Feb 23, 2024

1. Create new project, create a new layer. 

2. Apply transform and change the scale - the scale of the layer changes.

3. Make the layer 3d

4. Apply transform and change the scale - the scale of the layer no longer changes

Hi @Iulian Mircea

 

The Transform effect is 2D. It can't work on a 3D layer because they live in different spaces. 😞 
This is true of all effects, as far as I know. 

If you want to add Transforms to a text layer then you need to use something that are called Text Animators.

 

These can be added via that little arrow button next to the word "Animate" when you untwirl a text layer.

If you want to add other kinds of effects to 3D layers, there are a couple of workarounds. You can Precomp the 3D layers and add the effects to the 2D comp. 

Or you can choose some compositing magic where you need to:

  • Make a Solid,
  • Add the effects CC Composite or Calculations to the solid
  • Point that effect to the 3D layer you want to add effects to with the dropdown parameter for that effect 
  • Change the Blending Mode to Copy and then add your desired effects below

oh! I was also informed that this IS possible in the Classic 3D render engine but not the Advanced 3D engine.

Does the Transform work the way you expect if you change the renderer to "Classic 3D"?
