a simple stroke on a path would give you this same effect would it not..Add some roughen edges and throw it on for half a second…done

I make car commercials..and the ones heavy on motion graphics usually take 8 hours for a 30 second spot. aa little longer if 3d is involved. And i cant share a link..sorry.

#2…It would take me probably 1-2 weeks to create that animation…leaning more towards 2 weeks.

I like this 3d stroke effect https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/3d_stroke_effect/

Ya animate those triangles in the BG…and really just add some cool transitions…look up a few modern transitions and try to replicate what you like…to be honest these kind of videos are the worse .

so what you need is a series of white circles that go in and out of existence plus optical flares using luminance value to create the flares…for the circles i suppose particle world would be the best choice

texture only works on textured disc or textured square/polygon…

are you sure your model is zero-ed in onto the track point…? It might not be directly on top of it if you look at it from the side camera.

well why is your frame rate 50? its probably that…try 29.97 or 59.94 fps…That is also probably why it plays different everytime you play it back.

get the 3d object by itself..precompose or render it out by itself then i would use a drop shadow with 100 opacity and 0 for everything else…duplicate it 6 -10 times then go to the 1st one and increase the softness…there you go

most of us have optical flares where you can create your own flares anyways…
