Sharing Stardust 3D space with After Effects 3D space
Oliver asked 7 years ago
Hi Guys, I’m working with Stardust and can’t find answer in the documentation about how its 3d space is referenced.
If all you do is created stuff inside Stardust that’s ok, you can mix elements. But as soon as you start to add other layers that are 3D (even simple planes), everything is handled has if stardust was actually a 2d layer. So if you precomp it and want your stardust system to appear in a parent comp that is 3d (collapse transform), you loose track of its position and the camera references.
How should we work? if you switch the 3D layer everything disappears.
Thanks.

Hi, Stardust has a 3D space for all particles that are rendered in it, you can have multiple Particle systems, but to share the same space, you will have to keep it on the same layer, as with other 3D plug-ins for AE.
You need to apply it to a 2D solid in your comp.
