[color=ff0000]Welp, better late than never, I was shooting for a Christmas opening, but alas that never happend... 2 days too late... d'oh! However, I bring good news! AmigaToday.com is now officially open to the public![/color][/i]

Hi there. I had a terrific idea for a logo. Let me install my Imagine3D v4 and get it rendered. It should take a few days. Is an animated logo fine? I'd like to try one, because it would incorporate all the different mascots, rainbow check, boing ball, butterfly, etc. in the style of an old newsreal splash screen.

The logo is coming along swimingly. The construction isn't too difficult, just time consuming, considering that I only have an hour or two per night.

Ok, i've got the objects designed and ready to animate and render. So far, there's the boing ball, the rainbow checks, and a flying blue butterfly. That should cover it.

Oh, I thought of an addition to the title, I thought I'd run it by you before I put the fonts together.

AMIGA TODAY.COM along the top

and along the bottom

SO THE WORLD MAY KNOW

I thought it would be appropriate for a news site.

Ok, it's almost done. All the objects are rotating just the way I want them to. All that's left is to put a few special effects and it's time to render.

This will be in Anim 5 format. What size would you like, it can render at 1/4 screen, or full size screen?

My A3000 has been busy rendering the anim all night and it's still going right now. I should be able to have something posted by tonight. Yaaa!

Here's my design for the Amiga Today.com logo. In the animation, the tower and boing ball rotate and the butterfly flys around the tower. Pretty simple really. For some reason, on my Imagine3D version 4, the animation skips a little on at least one frame, where in the process of making it, will jag or skew one frame. Tell me what you think.
