Title: GTVA logo in 3D
Post by: Nx on February 12, 2010, 02:01:57 pm
I needed a nice transparent GTVA logo, and although I did find one among the mediavp squad images, I decided to try recreating it in 3d anyway. Here are the results (I hope attaching ogg videos works)

I've also attached the .blend file so you can play with it if you want (get Blender (http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/)). The materials are pretty basic and there are some simple composite effects.

Edit: Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlRlICpulXY)

Edit2: Removed black background

Edit3: uploaded to fsmods.net to save it from ninja admins: http://freespacemods.net/download.php?view.618

I already commented over there at YouTube, but here it is again, just for the sake of completion (or a sense of it):

It's nice, but it'd be better if it were a bit longer.

Very nice :yes:  :yes:

Why don't you try changing the color of the moving source of light to a bluish kinda thing to give it more freespace "atmosphere"?

What, is there no way to convert them?

I've attached the source for the second animation. This was created in blender 2.5, so to preserve the animation you have to open it with 2.5.

What, is there no way to convert them?

The base meshes without the subsurf modifier, yes. But that's really not much. The animation was done in blender 2.5, so opening this file in blender 2.49 will result in the loss of all keyframe information. And I doubt the animation can be easily exported to any other format. But if you want the base meshes without the subsurf, I can give you that.

Wait wait, since when could PNGs be animated? :o
This is as new to me as when I saw an animated JPEG.
