Is this cool or what?

[Joseph W. bourke]

It’s very cool, but you CAN do it, in After Effects, with Trapcode Particular and some carefully written expressions that would offset the output points to approximate where the fingers might go. The expression writing part is beyond me at this point (I’m just learning), but there are some presets in Particular that have that organic, glowing look, AND they work in 3D space when you use an AE camera.

There’s a feature in particleIllusion that let’s you “smear” particles called Don’t Erase – basically, wherever your particle go they leave a permanenet trail.

Not quite like this, but still pretty cool.
