Stroke "Write On" Effect

[asayan]

Well, I'm not sure what exactly you want this effect for but it can be done via particles. Just animate your emitter to get the motion. Then adjust whatever parameters you might need to get the correct falloff/death of particles by age. Then, you could add some glow in your comp app.

Well, first of all, try Tutorials>Animation>Animating a Pen ?

I have done that in the past (for 3D shapes) using Loft and animating the scale curve.

Oh. I had almost forgot about this useful plugin that can generate trails for you. It's called Maxtrax. Might come in handy for someone, someday. ;)

MaxTrax is a mixture of procedural object and particle system for creating tyre tracks, skid marks, or anything else you need to create trails for. It consists of two types of object: MTrack uses particles to create the trails and can be influenced by particle spacewarps, and GTrack, which creates the trails using geometry and can be collapsed to a mesh.

Good luck
