Random! Cartoons Logo

[Read more…]

Here’s a still of the CG version of the ping pong ball logo. It’s not as simple as it looks.

The word “cartoons” is actually made up of seperate pieces of geometry letters, whose primary visibility is turned off, yet they cast shadows.

The balls have their primary visibility turned on, but they are set to not cast shadows.

The letters are then point constrained with offset (X and Z axis only) to their corresponding ball so that the balls bounce around the scene, yet always cast a consistant letter shadow.

HERE is a work in progress clip of animation from the animated Random Cartoons logo.

Enjoy!
