Neon in afx
Hi
Does anyone know how to create convincing looking neon lights in afx? I created neon like strip lights in photoshop, but when imported into afx, and blended to create the on off flickering effect, it doesn’t look entirely convincing. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to do this?
Cheers
Vincent

I did it using Trapcode 3D Stroke – of course! 🙂

duuude. I had no idea there was a trapcode exchange like this.
you rule! thanks! -
Would stroke + glow + a flicker expression the opacity work too?

here’s an expression that could work for opacity.
This, plus 3D stroked lines and a nice glow is about as good of a neon look as you can get.
The credit for this expression is not my own, I picked it from a site, most likely Dan Ebberts. Here it is:probability = 6;
// “opacity_normal” is the value set for opacity when the a random
// opacity is NOT chosen.opacity_normal = 100;
x = random(probability);
if (x <= 1) { opacity = random(100); } else { opacity = opacity_normal; }

Audio Wave form in AE, with no audio referenced makes a pretty nice neon.
