Hello Blender community,

I'm relatively new to Blender and I'm trying to recreate a specific animation effect for a logo, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to achieve it. I've seen a video where a logo is both bumped up and flickering with light, and I would like to replicate that effect in Blender.

Here's a breakdown of what I'm trying to achieve:

Bumped Logo: I want my logo to appear as if it's slightly bumped up, giving it a 3D appearance, but not a full 3D model. I've tried using displacement modifiers and bump maps, but I'm not sure if that's the right approach or if there's a better way.

Flickering Light: I also want the logo to have a flickering light effect as if it's being illuminated by a light source that is intermittently turning on and off. This should create a dynamic and eye-catching visual.

To give you a clearer idea of what I have in mind, here's a link to an example video that demonstrates the effect I'm trying to achieve: https://www.instagram.com/p/CTKUspCljEa/

If anyone could provide some guidance on how to approach these two aspects of the animation or suggest tutorials/resources that might help, I would greatly appreciate it. Additionally, if there are any specific settings or techniques I should be aware of in Blender to achieve this effect, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for your help!

  • $\begingroup$ the logo thickness seems to be rather thin, or even engraved on a surface, you need to convert an svg to mesh and give it a bit of thickness or extrusion, depending on what you choose. For the material I guess a simple BSDF with Metallic at 1 is enough. As for the light just switch it on and off? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you for your feedback, I added a GIF image featuring the result I'm after. Actually I'm wondering if there is a way to achieve such result using Blender. $\endgroup$

Find the logo in b&w, convert to mesh, use it to cut a plane surface with the Knife Project tool:

It should give something like that:

Remove the logo, extrude the carving that has been created:

Give 2 materials to your object, a dense black and a gold material:
