Hi BenSCR,

This can be done on many levels of detail, the question would be what control you would like to have.
Here is a simple version

I do not know a tutorial that would discuss exactly all elements, but would you mind to point out which part you want to create? (The clip-link starts after the animated strokes.)

There are three main parts, the metallic outline, the red inlay, and the animated intro. All of them, including modeling and texturing, perhaps illumination?

I can move this to the tutorial suggestions if you like.

All the best

P.S.: Here is a little sketch/example. I hope this provides some ideas.

Project file

Those animations are preferably done in conjunction with After Effects.

Let me know if there is any question. I’m happy to look into it.

I would suggest to explore this feature:

P.S.2: I believe this is closer to the set up I saw in the clip, but I’m also confident that the original set up was different. wink

Both the files you’ve uploaded are brilliant, I’ll look at them closely over the next day or two.

It’s the metallic outline/red inlay, modelling and texturing (and I guess illumination) I’m looking to do.
