  animating swirls and lines

  Posted by Alan Power on September 2, 2008 at 12:33 pm

  Hi all

  Im looking for a solution for some motion graphics elements i want to incorporate into my work.
  I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this or help me in any way.

  I want to produce something similar to this, or at least learn the techniques used to create this.
  (the intro animated logo swirls)

  Im guessing that its using shape tweens and motion paths?
  or is it done in after effects (trapcode 3d stroke?)
  I just cant figure out how its done!!!
  The way the swirls grow is what im looking for, they have a tapered end and a nice rounded tip. an organic animation.

  Thank you

  Are you talking about their splash intro?

  It’s quite possible it was animated traditionally.
  Create a looping animation of the paint stroke tracing a circle.
  Scale that animation.

  ive been doing a couple of tests and i can get something quite similar with trapcode 3d stroke, with tapered edges.
  Thanks for your response.
