I have been away for some time as work has been very busy. I have been in the process of training 11 new contract employees which has become quite the challenge. When I get home I have been going straight to bed without any blendering.

I have started again with a somewhat small project to get back into the swing of things before I finish up the Spaceship corridor. This project is one from Andrew Price and topic being an animated logo. I thought I would create one for my website BlenderTravels.com Here is a series of renders and screen shots of what I did yesterday.

Logo with a Pyramid as the image for Traveling

Logo with a gem stone as Andrew’s tutorial depicts

The volumetric lighting pass using Blender’s internal renderer
