Key Insights
- 3D bins allow compositing multiple 3D layers with shared cameras and lights.
- 2D layers can disrupt 3D bins, affecting shadow casting.
- Use adjustment layers to apply effects to 3D models indirectly.
- Draft 3D mode simplifies animation viewing by disabling shadows and effects.
- Time remapping enables control over embedded animation timing.
- Blending modes can be adjusted for better visual integration of layers.
- Keyframed animations can be combined with embedded animations for dynamic results.
- Easing keyframes enhances the fluidity of animations.
- Using track mats can help manage complex intersections in 3D scenes.
- Adjustment layers provide flexibility in applying effects without altering original layers.
