OK!
i made a Flash version of my XBOX 360 logo using my .avi copy of the logo (.avi is a type of video file for those of you who don't know).

so yeah, check it out, and please forgive the pixelation
.avi is a Windows file type, and i did this on a Mac computer.
i could have used my .mov copy of my video, cause .mov is an Apple file type and looks great on Mac's, but the .mov copy i had of the logo just stunk and its quality just looked bad.
So yeah, may make it look better later, but oh well, back to class, later!

Enjoy! ^_^

As I said for the still version of this:

3D Modeling and Animation
Key Graded Assignment 2

Create a logo and animate it.

Feeling great after finishing KGA #1 in 3D Modeling class [link] ,
I wanted to take this next project and have fun with it at the same time I'm challenging myself, building my skill level, learning new things about 3ds Max 8, and becoming comfortable with a program I once feared more than I ever should have.

Now after this, I can honestly say I like 3D modeling!

(but if I get into this field as my career, I'm pretty dang sure I'll have a boss or a job somewhere that will make me hate it again lol)

Anyway, out of the huge list of logo I had written down, this is the logo I eventually chose, XBOX 360!

Actually I really have to give credit to my buddies Cody and Jean, because even though I had XBOX 360 on my list of possibilities, it honestly wasn't one I even considered to keep when narrowing down my options.

I think on the day we had to decide on what logo to model, Cody and Jean were messing around with me durring break and said I should do XBOX 360's logo. After they told me that and two of their ideas for things I could do to it, I immediately started getting hit with major inspiration for what the final animation would look like.

Thanks bros! I owe you guys way too much lol!

Not all of my ideas were placed in the final animation, but I'm happier with what I ended up with, and pretty dang proud of it too!

This logo was made mostly in 3ds Max 8, except the outlines for the "XBOX 360" text were made in Adobe Illustrator CS2 and merged into my 3D scene, where I extruded them (gave them depth, bascially turning them from 2D into 3D).

I can't remember exactly where I got the picture from that I used as a model but I think this was it:

The XBOX 360 logo shown at the very end of this video was also used as inspiration and as a model to go by when creating and fine tuning my design:

Link to completed video:
[link to final perfected video coming later today!!!!!!!]

This logo took about two weeks to complete, with a few failures in the beginning, a TON of save files, some helpful comments and words of inspiration, a ton of fun had and a bunch of experience gained.

Lovzez Itz!!!!!!!

Enjoy! ^_^

teehee!!!!!!! ^_______^!!!!!!!
