MK12 looking paint effects in MAYA?

[blittle]

Hello ALL!

Does anyone know how to create extruding animated stokes like the one's seen on many of MK12's projects? I've seen animated rainbow and star shaped strokes and wonder how they did it.

Also they have a cool liquid fog effect on their "Ninja Love" demo. Any ideas on how they did that?

Thanks from a Maya Newbie!

Paint effect strokes have the attributes start/end clipping which can control its length. Animating these will make it look its being extruded.
