Hi, this is part of a logo animation from back when they had Live Action Digital create some visual action for the videoboard for the San Franciso Giants.
I built the baseball and by goodness I used it!
I'll tell you what makes any logo treatment work: the Bleach Dissolve effect that came with Pennelo Light plug in back in the Lightwave 4 days, lenz flares (duh), and blurry movement in the background. Also parenting everything in the Lightwave scene to a master node/null object and slowly rotating it so the only thing that changes is the reflective sheen of whatever reflection map you have. Render several different layers and brew something up in Aura or After Effects.
