swooping swishing ribbon graphics?

well I tried to post this a minute ago donno what happened.

many ads have sweeping/swooshing rotating streams of graphics criss-crossing throughout.

sometimes they do appear to be light beams but others seem to be solids.

I'm trying to post an example will see what happens, maybe have to do it in a comment to get it to work.

anyway, any suggestions as to what's being used/how to do this is appreciated.

hmm, ok, I have trapcode and have used particular

could you be a bit more specific please?

also your response doesn't make sense when it's a solid

Those ribbons and lines can be made in many different ways.

Trapcode 3D stroke is good for creating this effect:

There are many tutorials out there in youtube to learn how to use it.

Demo Reel(3D):

Sorry...was getting past my bedtime. Didn't know that you owned Particular, so I was hoping that my post would send you to Red Giant's site and watch their demos there, which clearly show examples of streaklets. I'm also reluctant to discuss specific products here, because if they aren't active advertisers on the COW, my posts have sometimes been blocked.

I know what you mean. I actually had no idea they were called 'streaklets'. I just knew that I'd seen some presets and demos of Particular that had them, so I opened Particular, and whaddya know, a particle called 'Streaklet'. I've personally never used it before, but this thread, plus as you have pointed out, they're very popular, makes me want to.
