Key Insights
- 3D bins allow compositing multiple 3D layers with shared cameras.
- 2D layers can break 3D bins, affecting shadow casting.
- Use adjustment layers to apply effects to 3D models indirectly.
- Draft 3D mode speeds up animation previews by disabling effects.
- Time remapping enables control over embedded animation timing.
- Blending modes can affect how layers interact visually.
- Track mats provide flexibility in rendering intersecting 3D objects.
- Keyframing enhances the animation smoothness and responsiveness.
- Easing keyframes adds a natural feel to animations.
