Or, you can try increasing the Cross Section Smoothness to see if that helps. Also, be sure that your Best Quality Renderer is set to Software so that it is rendering in the highest quality.

When working with 3D Serpentine end caps, it's not necessary to export a .zxo file with a layer map. 3D Serpentine allows you to apply any layer in After Effects as a layer map on your end cap, so you can actually just import your image into After Effects, and apply the image as a layer map.

Then, you will need to align your objects. For a good example to align your objects, go to the "Documents (My Documents) > Zaxwerks > 3D Serpentine AE > End Caps" folder and open up one of the ProAnimator scenes. Once you open up the scene, switch the camera view to "Top" and look at how the object is aligned. Your object must be pointing towards the bottom. If you are building a Head end cap, the object must be "below" the center line. If the object is a Tail end cap, the object must be aligned "above" the center line. After everything is aligned properly, use the "Object > Export" command to export your object as a ".zxo". Then, put the ".zxo" file into the "Documents (My Documents) > Zaxwerks > 3D Serpentine AE > End Caps" folder, and it will show up in the 3D Serpentine End Caps menu. For more information, please refer to the 3D Serpentine user guide. If you have any questions, let me know. Best, Edward Hi Alex,

I'm sure Eran would appreciate hearing your comments. Right, his tutorials have a nice casual feel to them, but yet, contain a lot of information. Glad you've enjoyed it.
