CGI Video Animation: "Craig Frey, Jr. 3D Animations Logo"

This is a 3D Studio Max logo animation I did for myself a few years ago when I was just beginning to promote my work. I use a shorter version as a tag on some of my animations, but my wife suggested a longer one would be more dramatic. The music is from the old HBO "Feature Presentation" tags they used back in the 1980's.

Enjoy!

@creeper901 I'm glad you liked it. This is a bit outdated now and I know I could do better today, but I still enjoy watching it as well. Thanks for writing!

how did u attached the video footages in the planes...

[buckaroohawk]

@creeper901 The footage on the screens inside the "logo tunnel" are other animations I did (rendered as .AVI videos) mapped onto a simple box object with a planar UVW meterial map. In the older version of 3D Studio Max I used to make this, you could apply animations of any length to different objects. I don't know why, but in later versions multiple animations must all be of the same length or they won't play correctly.

Really nice blend of animation and music. I always LOVED that music, plus I'm a Star Trek fan. Thanks.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. The video was a challenge to put together but I was really happy with how it turned out.

By the way, your callsign cannot hide who you really are from me, Zod!

I couldn't use Vray on the old computer I used to render this animation, and I haven't really tried to use it yet. I'll check it out, though. Thanks for the tip, and for writing!

Great Job... Did you try using Vray as renderer? its creates cool realistic effect... Check out my profile and comment on the animation pls...

[buckaroohawk]
