Blender 2.81: How I created the DTube discord server icon

---

Today I want to reveal how I have created the new animated DTube discord server icon. I tried to structure this tutorial a bit different than normal and I would like to hear some feedback of you!

I did the whole animation with (free) blender 2.81, a (payed) shader pack (but you can do that by your own of course) called komikaze and exported the result as an avi file.

For extracting the D. out of a svg file I used (free) inkscape and openAviToGif 0.6 was used to convert the my finished avi to a highres gif.

Also you would need a discord server with at least 2 server boosts of course. You can read more about that here: https://support.discord.com/hc/de/articles/360039337992-Server-Boosting-Buy-a-Level

All the downloads I recommend & you would need to recreate this:
blender: https://www.blender.org/download/
inkscape: https://inkscape.org/
avitogif: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openavitogif/
komikaze: https://blendermarket.com/products/komikaze

I would like to share the project file because but I have used non-free shaders. But if you have those shaders feel free to comment and I can share this project with you.

Thanks for your feedback!
