You could achieve this in compositing inside FX Tree.

I have one snag though - the client really likes the look seen in the attached Trapcode still (the multi clored one) - much like lightpainting with long exposure time, so overlapping trails and especially bends in the trail become brighter by the exposure effect. So my question is, is there a way to achieve something similar with MR and volumetric rendering of strands? Currently I am piping a gradient with high values for the glowing tip into the ambient slot of the Particle Volume Cloud, which would not provide the look my client likes :/ I would very much like to avoid finding an AE artist to do this in Trapcode since I need these trails to fly in between and behind 3D objects in the scene, and preferably also reflect in the surfaces of said objects. Any tips are much appreciated! Cheers - Morten
