    I suspect that Trapcode Form or 3D Stroke was used.

    Do you have any idea how to achieve this look?

    Are you trying to duplicate the example exactly or just get something that resembles it?

    It’s different depending on whether you use 3D Stroke or Form. I’d go at it with 3D Stroke.

    3D Stroke has a repeater, so you draw one of those shapes, and repeat it with the repeater (which has options for offset, rotation, etc). Then animate the camera around it.

    Form has an option called strings. Getting it to look like that can be tricky, but it should nevertheless be possible.

    Yes, I’m trying to copy 100% of this look, I’ll give it a try with 3D Stroke.

    I have tried like you suggested, I created a curve and used 3D Stroke to repeat it, but there is a little problem, the curve from the original example is real 3D it has a mild helix form.I ttried to create a shape but no success, then I remembered that I can use null to create 3D path, and a managed to create the exact same curve, but the question is how to convert the path into shape layer to add Stroke to.

    3D Stroke has a Bend option that will bend the stroke in actual 3D, use that.
