Rastering problem with new 3D tools.

I've been testing out the new 3D tools and materials and for one day I didn't have an issue. (I've been using it mostly for creating 3D text). Now, out of nowhere, my 3D models lost their quality and the shadow casted is in an even lower quality — as if they're not vectors like before.
I tried adjusting the raster settings — I am working on a RGB file with 300dpi quality. I changed the quality to 300dpi in Document Raster Effects Settings as well, and in the general preferences.

I'm so desperate I even reinstalled Illustrator and restarted my device.

How can I get my 3D models back to vector?

Here how it looks now:

How large are those objects?

Did you enable Raytracing?

After you enable it, you have to click on "Render"

I'm using a 600x600px file, but before this issue appeared, the 3D models worked fine no matter the size, so I don't think that's causing the problem. The issue is that it's no longer a vector-model (idk if that's the right way to name it), As I said, before this was a problem I didn't have to render the model to get it vector-sharp.

Then please open the Raytracing options and check the vector option in there.

Well, it appears that it fixed the problem of just one of my shapes, but the shadow casted is still pixelated... and when I check that option for any other shape, it still does nothing.
I posted a link to my file in the message above—if you have the time, maybe it would be easier for you to look at the settings there and somehow figure out why it's not working for me? Much appreciated.

Did you check the Render Settings at the top right of the 3D and Materials panel as well as the softness in the Lighting?

Yes, and unfortunately, changing them doesn't do it, either 😕😕
Before this happened, I was able to get clear vector models in preview, without having to wait ages for the render — and it still works for me when I use the old 3D tools.

And switching between GPU and CPU Preview (Cmd or Ctrl E)?
