The first Steemit visual effects is a fact! And I have included a wallpaper for the people who would like to use it too!
I've been seeing a lot of people contribute to Steemit in a lot of ways. Going out on the Streets with balloons, photography contests, stickers, t-shirts and everything! I though it would be my time to contribute. Exactly one week ago I started building the 3d model of the Steemit logo, simulating, shading, lighting, rendering and today I finished compositing! So how much time does it take to render this whole thing?
> Render time: 32 hours and 11 minutes on 8 hyperthreaded cores at 2.4Ghz
For just 10 seconds?!?!!?
yes...
Let me tell you about myself
Since one and a half year ago I started doing visual effects. I joined a school project called Project-IM, a 3 minute visual effects video where I was assigned to do executive producing. After 3 months into the project I wanted to contribute visually and started doing 3d water effects for that movie. Now one and a half year later I find myself to be an FX artist.
So what do you do?
What an FX artist does is adding anything dynamic in 3d. We add smoke, dust, water, lava, electricity, magic effects, breaking walls, particles and best of all... EXPLOTIONS!! We do a lot! We make mountains collapse, make volcanoes spew, run robots through fucking walls and make shit explode in general. Pretty cool éh?
But I'm not quite there yet. As I am slowly progressing towards a nice showreel I am still a student. Which means I have to start graduating soon! Which is why I am currently building an better and better showreel with a beautiful piece of software called Houdini to do an application in Canada! Yup that's right, I WANT TO GO TO CANADA!
Great, now where is the wallpaper?
I have it right here for you!
Is there more?
Actually yes, I am also busy with another version of this logo which includes a bit of steam and fire! Just be on the lookout in the coming weeks. Oh and if there are 3d technical questions, I'd LOVE to answer them.
Create something, great people of Steemit!! It's FUN!!

First? Is a fact? It's nice but I was posting animated after effects logo clips and wallpapers a couple of months ago. Been using them in my videos ever since too. ;)

Awesome! Although I would love more processing power, most of the time memory is a problem. Simulations like fire, water and stuff like that will eat all your ram like a fat kid in a candy shop.

Did not know that. I would love to do videos of house tours but I keep finding other things to do. Anyways keep up the good work with your simulations.
