diggin' the diaries, brandon.

Thanks :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG) They are a LOT of fun to put together. I love Behind the Scenes stuff!

And Malcolm... the new trailer should be up by early next week. We're working on some effect shots that we want to have in the trailer. I am sure you'll enjoy it!
 
As per request of Brandon:

A couple weeks ago, Brandon asked me to design a logo for his production company "Noa/Rice Digital". Brandon didn't really have a specific direction he wanted to go aside from something progressive and epic... I didn't really know what to do, so I just began working. I started modeling a Greek-type monument in Wings3D, which I then imported into Maya and put in the camera motion.

Here's what the project looked like:

After I rendered out the camera motion, I imported the file into After effects, where I inserted the sky background and the Noa/Rice Digital text.

The camera spins around the monument once, and slowly pulls out from it as the text and sky fade in. You should be able to see a version of it in the new trailer Brandon's putting up in the next few days...
but here's the ending image:

Overall, I was pretty happy with it. I'm still learning my way around Maya, so I ran into a few issues, but I walked away with quite a bit from this project.
 
Daniel, that looks really awesome. If that was for me I'd be really happy with it. Nice work. Cant wait to see the actual animation.

LOL! I'm a slacker? I'm the #1 pimper of Smuggler's... I even wear a HAT with the Smuggler's Ransom logo on it!

Only a hat Brandon? C'mon, where's the t-shirts, and coffee mugs?
 
There's been a little bump in the road on the trailer... but the CG stuff is moving right along, and I should have an update tomorrow!
