This is one of many tutorials on the web showing 3D logo animation. BUT! We will not waste our time with modeling, texturing, lighting the scene... we will focus on exporting the animation into a RPF format which allows us to import a Max camera right into the After Effects and even to create a depth map which is needed for creating nice depth of field - as you can see on the picture.
Software: 3DS Max, After Effects
