Hello. I am searching a way to create something like this (first, WIND) image: https://www.behance.net/gallery/6832523/Hidden-Typography
I have seen here in this forum some works with similar characteristics. I need to generate a lot of lines or traces or strands that look like hair in wind or water and interacting somehow with some (invisible) object (probably a geometrical figure not a word). Is this complicate to do? I have some experiences using nodes in Blender 3D, but this is different for me.

    I don't think NB3 is the best tool for this, maybe nodebox1... but as you mentioned Blender, its internal render engine can trace particles as lines, see quick example here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uf8tyqmtwijtl6b/TORUS.blend?dl=1 and a pic: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ytgjnyeef93n88/TORUS.jpg?dl=1
