Element 3D Template - Universal-Studios Intro Logo Animation

I have got a lot of messages from you regarding the first version of this animation and most of you wanted me to make a template out of this, so, here we go. I updated the animation to fit the original even more and tried to tidy up the project for you to easily change and edit the whole thing. Tell me what you think in the comments! Download the project file here and read about the making of: Software used: Adobe After Effects CC2017, Element 3D, Optical Flares, Red Giant - Magic Bullet Looks (optional), Trapcode Shine About: This was intended to be an intro animation for a film for the 60th birthday of my girlfriends dad with his name instead of the studios name and I think I might have put too much time into this. I never thought that this kind of animation would be possible inside Adobe After Effects and that one would have to go and learn something like 3D Studio Max, Cinema 4D and others to achieve this but this is all Element 3D from Videocopilot, a few null objects, lights and a camera. I made the earth texture from some Google images and blended them to go from normal earth to the blue night earth texture. The background nebulae are just a few turbulent noise layers on top of a star map. I had to bend the rules a bit on the textures. In order to make them look like the original I changed the original UV values to make it appear wider. I used an animated bend modifier on the text for different amounts of roundness. Have fun with it and show me your animations!
