Light Streaks

[yagfxg33k]

I see this effect in some folks reels as well as used in various motion graphics. You can see examples of what I am talking about here:

Streaks of light that are moving and creating a tunnel effect etc.

How is this acheived in AE?

I think you could create that effect with a combination of 3D Stroke and Shine or Starglow...

Take a look at:

Well I know there are plug-ins for this kind of stuff - I wanted something native to AE.

It seems like the ideal way to do, and probably the way it was done here, is either with particles in 3d or a flat AE render (particles/stroke & glow) rendered out and used as the texture map on a cylinder.

BUT, if you wanted to approximate the same effect with stock AE effects, I'd suggest looking into Fractal Noise, glow, and 4 or more duplicated 3d layers arranged to look like a cylinder from camera POV. Render times will be very long for this level of quality.
