One up on Keith and the new AIR Logo ;)

Well, I’d seen Keith’s animation of the new AIR Logo, then read Mario’s challenge to make it “interactive”. So of course, Keith turns around and says “BAM! now what bitch?!” and puts an interactive version out there. See, if you’ve read his email blunder post, he was trying to send me a vector version of the logo – and mistakenly sent the reply and FLA to a recruiter – HILARIOUS! What makes it even more funny is that I actually ended up ditching his and creating my own Man talk about all for not!

So I created a vector version of the logo in Flash IDE, exported as illustrator 6 file and imported into 3D Studio Max. Then extruded and applied a red shaded texture to it. Bingo, 3D AIR logo. So my idea was to make it interactive and 3D. But then I started playing around with the new fire effects that Andy adapted from Grant’s fire classes and well, HEHE – it’s the new AIR logo, animated, interactive (just for you Mario), in 3D…and on fire.

btw – these new effects for Papervision are going to absolutely ROCK \m/ – Andy’s got all the blend mode / layer blah blah blah going on in there. There’s nothing you can’t accomplish with it – it’s outrageous!
