Resident Evil Umbrella Logo
hey i was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to do this in after effects
i figured most of it out but some of it still has me stumped
the gas i can create in particular
the rotaion is easy with the 3d in AEbut the reflectiveness and the thickness of the triangles floting around are very hard to me. and the overall look of the triangles are difficult. so if anyone could help me at all i would be soo greatfull.

Hey, I haven’t actually seen the logo, so if you could give a link?
Hmm, as for reflectivity, you could try a distortion map? And thickness, use the effect Shatter, but turn the strength of the force,depth, and radius down to 0.00 and to make it thicker turn up the extrusion depth.Hope this helped!

Raytraced reflections and thickness like this cannot be done in AE. This animation would have been done in a 3D app.
A 3D app such as Cinema 4D is now standard in a motion graphics artist’s toolkit.

Oh, welcome.
Hmm, so thats the video. I’m not sure about the reflectivity, but you could just use Andrew Kramer’s Easy Reflections Plugin?

ya i tried that it just made a image behind the triangle that was reflected. wut im talking bout is when one of the other pecices flys infront of another u see the relection of it sorta.
o and could u explain the shatter map and displacement map things again.
thanx for all your help

Oh, I didnt know that. Hmm, maybe you can just duplicate the image and change the opacity or blending options, and move it to fit the reflection?
It might work. I guess. xP
