  Hello to everyone!
  I have one client who eant to create a chrome logo, it must be like another one from x-men trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXxVzeCDPX0

  In that video logo appear on last seconds (TRASK). It isn’t “standart and simple” chrome effect, i had no idea how create this nice light sweep! Client is angry, i’m confused 🙁

  Whap do you think about this? How would you create same logo?

  P.S. Guys, sorry for my english, it’s not my common language.

  It looks to me the entire thing was done in a 3D app like Cinema4D. If you have CS6, you could probably build that logo using shapes, turn on reflections, create a environment map and create the chrome look. There is also a light sweep effect you could use to create the highlights.

  If you have CS6 – here’s a link to a great tutorial showing how to create different materials. There’s even some free presets/materials that should give you a nice chrome look. After Effects CS6 3D Material Template

  John’s link doesn’t work. I think that he was trying to point you to the materials here:
