Hello,

I present to you the logo animation that I created for the Bad Decisions Studio contest.

For your information, Bad Decisions Studio is a YouTube channel that I have been following for some time, which provides tutorials and informative content about 3D and new technologies, notably on software such as Unreal Engine.

The rules of the contest were simple: create a 4-second animation with the objective of progressively revealing the logo in an original way. To do this, I chose to use several techniques simultaneously in Blender:

I started by creating a staggered animation of the letters that come together in the center of the screen. Then, I played with animated shader parameters so that the logo gradually changes texture throughout the animation and becomes more legible. Afterwards, I added physics and collisions and used Blender's Cell Fracture add-on to create the destruction effect. I also created an explosion effect to add dynamism to my animation.

Finally, there was a post-processing step in After Effects to adjust the colors and add sound.

Feel free to give me your feedback in the comments. 😌 👇
