3ds max tutorial - Making a 3D company logo

3DS MAX- MAKING A 3D COMPANY LOGO

Hiiiiiii friends,

Of course, 

One of the early uses for 3Ds max was to create or animate corporate logo, and although max can still do this without any problem. It now has capabilities far beyond those available in the early day. The shape tool can even be used to design the logo.

                     In this example, we design and create a simple logo using the shape tools for the company named 'surya energy limited'

we animate this name in sky with revolution to the earth.

Start with using the shape tools to design and create company logo,

Follow this steps:
1.First i start this tutorial, making the earth with standard primitives>sphere
Change the sphere parameter with appropriate value.
(Make sure it must increase the segment value of sphere for smooth curve)

2.Create a company name by clicking the text button and dragging in the front view to create a text. Change the parameters for this text for looking good (play with  parameter value for good result). There is different type parameter like text style, text size, kerning, leading and simply bold, italic, underline. u can also justify the alignment the text right, left or center

3. Now i assign the material to the earth and text, i simply going to material editor, with press 'M' and assign a empty slot and give  a high resolution bitmap image of earth to sphere and give some glossy light orange color to the text.

4. I have to change environment of the scene from black to dark blue color like as space.click on RENDER > environment > background > change the environment map. I put here high resolution space image.

 Next step is put light for a space scene

Click on lights from command panel and choose omni light from standard light and change its intensity as need. You can also put here two or three different light has different parameter.

I also use here different type of lights effect like as streak and volume. (I discuss this topic in details in my next blog )

Now. Its time for bend my text for revolution to earth. I use simply BEND modifier from modifier list and in parameter change the angle 180 degree (You can change angle as per your need ) and give it simple rotate animation.

Now i render the scene and do O.K. with change the parameters and value.

RENDER SCENE-1

 RENDER SCENE-2

Enjoy the tutorial :)
