Hi everybody,
I just joined solely because of the difficulties I'm having with After Effects CS3. Firstly, I can't get 3D to work in the program. For instance, I was trying to create a rotating Earth with CC Sphere, but instead of making the sphere round, it made it flat and thin. It won't rotate; it just twists on its axis. I had the layer checked as a 3D layer.
Also, I don't have access to the three-dimensional axis. You know, the X,Y,Z axis icon that appears in the comp window when you have a 3D layer. I don't know where it is or how to get it to work.
Basically, I don't know if it's the program itself (I bought my Mac used) or if it's my video card (I have the GeForce FX 5200). Can anybody talk me off the ledge?

Thanks.

Hey guys,
Thank you for your help via email. I'm still a newbie regarding AE. CC Sphere worked this time. I changed the render options to Outside and the sphere was created. I changed it back to Full and it was still there. I don't know what was different this time.

Thank you for having patience with me.
