What property controls the visibility and rendering of 3D layers in the composition?

The property that controls the visibility and rendering of 3D layers in a composition is the 3D Switch. When this switch is enabled on a layer, it allows the layer to participate in the three-dimensional space of the composition, which includes the concept of depth, perspective, and lighting. Enabling this property transforms a layer from 2D to 3D, allowing for rotations along the X, Y, and Z axes, making it possible to create more dynamic and visually interesting animations.

In contrast, Layer Opacity relates to how transparent or opaque a layer appears but doesn’t influence whether it is treated as a 3D layer. Layer Style applies additional visual styles and effects to the layer but does not control its three-dimensional rendering capabilities. Effect Controls offer options for adjusting effects applied to a layer but do not determine if the layer itself is in a 3D space. Therefore, the 3D Switch is essential for establishing and manipulating the layer's dimensional properties within a composition.
