Blender: Logo Animation Tutorial with Lasers

I decided to create a logo for the channel, and then I made this animation. Thought it would make a good tutorial. The first video will cover the modeling and animation for everything from the metal plates to the sparks and lasers. In the next video I'll show how I made the materials. 00:00 - Intro 00:35 - Reference Image setup 01:15 - Mesh outline 02:45 - Initial Camera 03:05 - Mesh Planes 04:02 - UV Unwrap 05:00 - Cutouts 06:31 - Cut Paths 07:58 - Cut Tip One 10:04 - Particle settings (sparks) 13:45 - Cut Tip Copies 16:30 - Laser Geometry and Animation 18:55 - Rigid Body Physics Simulation
