Activity Forums Adobe After Effects 3d Logos

  • Posted by Elliot Pollaro on April 10, 2007 at 8:50 pm

    Im looking for a program that can make really flashy 3D logos, even some that have templates. I see 3d invigorator 4.0 pro but dont know if i want to get that over a 3d program. I need something that would be easy for a beginner to use. So i can rake in and out commercials using their logo.

    I’m not much of a 3D guy, but most packages offer a way to extrude Illustrator or SVG paths, which is more often than not all you need to do for a logo.

    I’ve used Cheetah 3D (www.cheetah3d.com) on my Mac for this purpose. It’s Mac only, pretty cheap, easy to use and allows you to do full renders in the demo version (but you can’t save the source file). It’s not as fully featured or advanced as the more commercial 3D packages (Softimage, Maya, C4D) but it is a lot cheaper, features a fairly robust tool set for the price (all the basics, skeletal animation, HDRI, rendering to movies/image sequences) and is pretty easy to get the hang of.

    Invig was designed for flying logos. Cinema 4d is great if you want to go beyond that.

    Try the demos, what the hey.
