object in motion?

[boydphoto]

hi. i use the looooong, manual method of creating streaks following an object, to make it look as though it was thrown through the air. i heard of a plugin to do this simply. i would sing to someone for you if you will tell me how to find this plugin. thanks, boyd.

I know of two plugins. First is a by Andromeda called the Velociraptor Filter.

OR... you can save yourself some money and learn a simple way to do it yourself. Perhaps you can make an Action for the effect?

maybe someone knows of a free plugin.

thanks, guys. the method you gave me is pretty much the way i've been doing it. i appreciate the time you took to answer me, but i really was looking for a (free) plugin, to do it quick and easy. i'm always eager to learn, and eager to get it free. some things never change. lol. thanks again, boyd.

I think the tutorial Keeper posted, would be the starting point for you. In my humble opinion, by learning how to create one yourself first, allows you to be able to modify it to your liking. Also, it would allow for modifications to any brushes that you may find later, because at that point you already understand HOW and WHY it works that way!

Keeper, nice tute! Question...Can you post the answer to the problem at the end of that tute? I was able to grasp the concept, but not sure of a couple things! I experimented, but was not able to create the bounce points like it suggested! [confused]

mmm... think... 'custom brush'.
