  3D strokes and text

  Posted by Urbyboy980 on July 14, 2007 at 7:04 pm

  Hi there everyone. I am wondering how I would use 3D strokes and have them whiz around and create (or make appear) some text and then the strokes fade/vanish. An example of the effect i am looking to get can be viewed here (you can stream video as well, just scroll down):

  Thanks in advance and any help is appreciated!

  It would be easier to make it using Particular as they have a pre-set that is relatively close to what you want to do. They were using Starglow much more than anything else. To get the actual text you would need to create a mask around each letter (copy and paste the text from illustrator or use outline in AE). I’ve got to run, but that’s the basic idea.
