tricky logo spin-sort of like a tornado

[Mark]

I would say that you would start by offsetting the anchor point in z-space…then using the rotation animate using a big ease on the outgoing keyframe. Set the motion blur quite high (360 and up). Sell the shot by adding some particles.

zaxwerks 3dwarp might help.

mark & mbevilacqua….thanks you very much….

In Zaxwerks…I need to bring in an illustratr file, right? What if I have a regular pict file…can that work w/ Zaxwerks?

Mark–have do I specifiacally isolate the anchor point position on the Z axis? There’s obviously ONE anchor point…do I go to the Z position and center it? Do I need a Camera layer on top of the logo layer?

thanks again….really appreciate it guys.

WOw…I just figured out the Anchor point -z axis and it’s coming along….thanks again…now I have to try and tweak it.

thanks again

How can I bend the edges? Distort?

thanks again

thanks Dave

got it…

No you don’t need a illustrator file.
Just map you pict to a layer, specify in the effect what pict should be seen when looking at the “back” of the logo and start deforming the layer as you spin it in 3D space to get the effect you need.

Take a look at theese:
