Effect of perfume trail – any ideas?
I am trying to create an effect of a colourful perfume trail following a person and am stuck for a way to do this. Any help or ideas would be hugely appreciated.
I Am using AE 6.5 -

I think this from Serge might help:
See “Smoke Trail”. The aep looks like the one for “Fluid” and may be close enough, but the Cow Forum Reference gives a great quick how-to. Lots of good stuff there.

possibly particles or maybe even tinderbox’s heatwaves(not proper name) plugin
are you looking for a styleized look or a realistic(how realistic is perfume flowing from a person??? ;)) look?
There is a tutorial here on the cow of using vector paint as a colorful aura trail like effect. might want to look at that. -
Try the ‘particular’ plug in from Trapcode and use the ‘auxiliary’ particles generator.

Believe it or not you can get some pretty nice results with the bulit in CC Particle world. I had to do a steam effect coming out of coffee but it need to be stylized where it had a long tail that floated thru the air. Track the source, Then apply that data to the emitter. Then set the settings right and you can get some amazingly realistic whispy tails of steam. You’ll just need to add some blur and tint the color to your liking (like from using colorama). Also I suggest when you dial it the way you like it, duplicate it and change one of the physics parameters slightly so that it creates two similar tails that are close but not on top of each other. Blur one more than the other.
