The Bevel Depth option is control over how smooth you want that curve to be. Giving a slight bevel to a 3D object is an excellent way to make it appear realistic. Nothing in the real world is a true right angle in terms of corners on objects. The Bevel Style is a drop-down box that will allow you to choose if you want the angle of the face and sides of the 3D object to meet in a hard angular fashion or a smooth fall off. The Extrusion Depth property is what we use to push out our text. We now see “Geometry Options,” and when that is further opened up, you see Bevel Style, Bevel Depth, Hole Bevel Depth, and Extrusion Depth. You’ll notice now that the text/shape layers you had set to 3D before now have another property when you toggle them down.
For this example, I’m using a text layer, but shape layers also work with Ray-traced 3D for extrusion. Now your images might not spring to full-3D life right away if you’re building this yourself. You’ll see a “Renderer” drop-down field, and it should currently say Classic 3D. When you click the button from here, the Composition Settings will automatically open up to the correct tab: the 3D Renderer tab. Click that, and it will open your Composition Settings, as seen below. In the upper right-hand corner is a little button that will indicate which renderer After Effects is using at the time. Ray-traced 3Dįirst of all, you need to know how to change from the Classic 3D renderer to the Ray-traced 3D renderer. So let’s investigate the pros and cons of our next renderer: the older Ray-traced 3D renderer. However, if you want to have text or shapes that have true 3D depth, you’ll need to use one of the other 3D renderers. This became a style that many people use for all kinds of videos. Then with a flick of the 3D switch, the Z dimension position is added, and your flat layer has been turned into what is essentially a card. The Classic 3D system only needs but a few 2D layers with the inherent X and Y position dimensions any layer would have. Here's an example of 2.5D style 3D rendered with After Effect’s Classic 3D renderer. It only supports 2.5D 3D which is that diorama style of 3D. This one has been around forever, and it’s the fastest of the three renderers.

Let’s take a look at what the capabilities and limitations are for all three renderers.
Since then, however, there is now the CINEMA 4D renderer as a third choice for 3D renderings. Until the After Effects CC 2017 update back in November ( see what's new), we only had two options for 3D renderers in After Effects: Classic and Ray-traced.
