text effects - LW or AfterEffects?

[Hanek]

Cheers,

I have to put together a company intro with mystic runic letters or characters floating from a hand. The hand will be built in LW.

Any suggestions on which platform i should use to make and animate the runes? Lightwave or maybe Adobe After Effects?

Also, any advice on how i should procede to create this effect?

Thanks for your time

Make images of the runes, and apply HVs to a bunch of particles, set them to sprite mode and add the images...

Or in AfterFX, just use Particle playground or FinalEffects (just do Google search)

Thanks Red,

I'll give it a try!
