- [Instructor] In this exercise, we're going to go ahead and bend this s logo so it can spin around in the scene and actually look like it's sort of rolled. Now, in order to do that, I need to access geometry options. So I'm going to select layer one and I'll press aa to open my material options and you'll notice geometry options didn't pop up. So what I'm going to do is collapse that layer and open it up and here you'll see I have transform and geometry options are grayed out and then I have material options. Well, to the right of geometry options are the words change renderer. So I'm going to go ahead and click on that and that'll open the 3D renderer settings, which are actually under your composition settings. For this specific composition, I'm going to change the renderer from classic 3D to Cinema 4D and that's going to let me know that things like blending modes and track mats and effects that are applied to continuously rasterized layers will all be disabled. But what will be…
