3D Text For Movie Title

The Motion Tracking and titling of our opening is nearly complete but to make the movie title stand out more we decide to make 'Motive' 3D with a chrome Gloss Effects.

I first modeled the text in Cinema 4D

I then added material effects to the text to give it a chrome glossy look.

Finally I added an array of lights in various positions to give the text depth and the ultimate 3D look.

I then Rendered out into Photoshop for final touching up.

Once I was happy with the text, I then dropped it into After Effects to create the final title. I added various flares and pre-keyed optical flares, once timed and tracked I was able to use them as a transition into the text.
