We’re using Blender for this tutorial, which is an amazing and totally free 3d software. The only barrier to entry is having a computer to run the software on.

Animating 3d logos can be a really powerful skill to know, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. In this class, I’ll walk you through the simple process of recreating a 2d logo inside Blender, as well as adding some simple animation.

In this class you can expect to learn:

• Blender Interface and Tools: We’ll learn about many basic tools and interface elements within Blender while building and animating our logo.
  
  
• Curves: To create our logo, we’ll be using curves and extrusion within Blender.
  
  
• Lighting: We’ll set up an HDRI lighting system to illuminate our logo.
  
  
• Shading: Used to apply simple reflective and emissive color materials to our logo.
  
  
• Animating: We’ll add a little life to our logo by creating a looping animation.
  
  
• Rendering: Lastly, we’ll render our final animation in Blender so you can share it with your friends and family on social media.
  

When we’re done you’ll have all the skills you need to create a 3d logo animation of your very own! 

I hope you’ll join me on this fun beginner’s journey through Blender by making your very own animated 3d logo!
