Contest Brief

Dear freelancers,

we are SaberTec, a company that develops, produces and sells electronic control units for lightsabers. For our website, we need a preloader animation.

It should be similar to this preloader animation:
http://run4tiger.com/
There, the sketch of a tiger being drawn as the loading process progresses. Similarly, we would like to have a lightsaber hilt to be drawn as the loading process progresses. Here's a 3D model of the lightsaber hilt:
https://sketchfab.com/models/90915fb8c1804e7eb9d0b9aa0d67dc3c
There should be also a numeric progress indicator (from 0 % to 100 %) and the text "Building your saber.".

It would be great if the sketch could be 3D and rotate while it is being drawn.

The preloader animation should be responsive.

Best regards,
Frederic.

    Dear freelancers,

    thank you all for your great animations. All of you did a really good job, but in the end we can only choose one winner. We decided to award the contest to "johnthebunny", because of the technical drawing style which gives the animation an overwhelming look and the great rotation feature.

    Best regards,
    Frederic.

    What is the minimum estimated time for the preloaded animation supposed to complete? A geometry of the 3D model will be useful.

      Hello,

      the minimum estimated time for the preload animation is 2 s, but it can go up to 10 s. So there should be also enough details to get an amazing effect when the lightsaber is being drawn. The only thing I can provide is the following link:
