So, you all know those sweet short videos that play sometimes right before an application launches? You know, the one that usually has some nifty looking animation that says the name on the people who worked on the project? Well, what kinda of development team would we be if we didn't have one of those? Luckily for us, Jeff Lange has been hard at work!
Here's a sneak peak of what he's been working on in Blender. I took the video with my cell phone, so sorry about the lackluster quality. Hopefully it will get the point across none the less.
That's a little bit of insight into what goes on in Blender to create the animation. It's a pretty nifty open source 3D animation program and is unbelievably flexible. Now, here's a little early preview as to what the final product might just look like.
Jeff should be finished up with the final project sometime here in the next week or so and when he does, I'll get him to write up a more detailed blog post about how he used Blender to make the final animation. If you have any questions about splash screen animations for now, feel free to contact Jeff at Jeff@CollegeKidApp.com.
