Camera and 3D
Any layer becomes 3D with ae_set_layer_props {"props": {"threeDLayer": true}}.
It then has Z Position, X/Y/Z Rotation and Orientation, and responds to
cameras and lights. Position becomes [x, y, z]: +Z is away from the camera.
The renderer
The comp's 3D renderer decides what 3D can do. Set it with
ae_set_comp_settings {"settings": {"renderer": "…"}}:
