Final Product What You'll Be Creating

Our sister site Aetuts+ today put up an excellent tutorial by Antonio Cerri, showing you how to create a flying logo, Tron Legacy style! Today’s part uses C4D to model and animate the logo, whilst the upcoming part 2 uses After Effects to composite everything together. We thought you all might like it too, so check out the preview video and tutorial links after the jump…

    Very nice, the effect is really production-like!

    That looks very cool.(lame,boring,childish,stupid,.I can’t believe he got paid. Like omg. There I said it before the haters come on)
    Anyways,I’m wondering how many versions well see from now until December.
    Wouldn’t mind one of those bikes. :P

      agreed. i can’t tell you how many reels i’ve seen that use the gsg bevel tut. it’s, like, soooo kewl and now i’m an artist. we’re gonna see a lot of this particular look everywhere now.

      don’t forget to “filet” your type! why would this guy use a text to speech software? it’s obvious that english is a second language to a lot of cgtut users and if you can’t speak the language you certainly can’t type it. with the addition of text to speech phonetic problems it adds even more problems. the guy should have just used his mic and apologized like everyone else for “i have bad language, sorry for me, please”.

    I don’t think Matt Brealey is real person.

      addition: matt is typing engrish into a text to speech software and somehow that is supposed to be easier to understand? it’s like translating english to japanese and back to english again. oh well, he got published and that’s all that matters…right? the tut is not impossible to follow but i can’t help but be embarrassed for matt. just use a mic and speak like everyone else instead of making nine extra steps when one would have worked fine. as someone who doesn’t speak english very well, you’d do a lot better than the horrible pronunciations coming out of the text to speech software.

        But you speak much, and you entered a link that has little to do with an artist ….
        Flip and turn on your brain before speaking unnecessary and meaningless. The tutorial can be followed even without sound, as you know how to perform these steps. You could also make you some tutorials so that they are ill prepared to show everyone else. For me, the tutorial is good, not all are prepared as you, but we like to learn!!!!!

        i rest my case.

    Stolen idea from razergaming…check it out!

    • Antonio Cerri

      There is no other tutorial on the subject, and if you had listened to the tutorial, I said that I based on part of the official Tron Legacy trailer. So, according to your thinking, even razergaming who designed mouse and PC keyboards, he stole the idea to the authors of the film, but in reality, it is simply inspired.
