Digital Hyper entered a logo animation in the CAVEMODE contest, which is a local user group in the Charlotte, NC area. The Cavemode animation was judged locally in Charlotte and was nominated as one of the top logo animations. It was a fun experimental animation that we had a lot of fun with. The idea behind this logo was to drop in a sphere like object into water and have it explode and form the CAVEMODE logo. Software used was 3DS Max along with after effects and some other tricks to create the final result.
