As Jayse says, it becomes an aliased mess once in 3D space. The only way around it I found was to add a 0.25px blur. Not ideal as the text then becomes a little less than crisp. If only there were some kind of AA option similar to what you see in C4D (2x2, 4x4, 8x8 etc). I added a request but thought it worth adding to the discussion here. > I remember that too - and was SO excited - because taking ai files (suc= h > as > a fake UI layout) with thin 1px to 4px horizontal lines and slightly > tilting them in 3d space is a huge aliased mess in AE.
