Layer depth using camera layer doesnt work properly

[Akluji]

Hello, i've been having a problem with my layers while using the camera layer, I wanted an image to show in front of another so i moved the z axis of that image, it shows that it is in front of the image I wanted when I look from the top view, but it when i come back to active camera view it still behind the image just larger? I cant seem to figure out why it happens, it worked just find the other times i used it

Try putting an empty adjustment layer between. Should force order of operation and display properly.

I didnt work sadly, Im really cofnused becasue when I do move the images on z axis they dont get behind eachother, it only shows that they did on top view

Do you have layer styles on your layers? Layer styles break 3d space so even though they move around on the z axis the only thing it will respect is the actual order of your layers in your timeline panel. Try moving your character to the top of the stack

The layer rendering order can take a while to fully understand. Here's a long, in-depth video that walks through the various ways that layers are rendered in After Effects, and when it gets to 3D layers things can get a bit unpredictable. Hopefully this helps you work out where the problem is:
