Is something like this possible in Blender ?
I need random movement of particles, which leaves static strands behind.

$\begingroup$ This is possible using hair particles (the trail effect could be done in post processing by fading frames out over time). $\endgroup$– gandalf3Commented Mar 7, 2014 at 7:27

$\begingroup$ I need real strands, no any echos or duplicate in postproduction, this is exactly what I need: [youtube.com/watch?v=cVqUaaozE5Y] $\endgroup$– CendaCommented Mar 7, 2014 at 12:18

$\begingroup$ Do you think this can be yet another acceptable solution? And I wonder whether you mean to have static strands for dynamic and random particles to follow? $\endgroup$– Leon CheungCommented Mar 7, 2014 at 18:54

$\begingroup$ Use hair particle with Hair Dyamics On. Add up force field, like wind and turbulance ( you may need to add up 2 or 3 for the effect) , Keep the hair particle length more then 10. Setup the material with strand options on. Add up a blend texture, which will effect the alpha and a color ramp to give multi colors. $\endgroup$– Ali JibranCommented Mar 7, 2014 at 20:34

You could try using trails and lines in BI.

$\begingroup$ it looks like best solution for me :) thanks .. btw, is there any option for controling grow by curve / path ? $\endgroup$– CendaCommented Mar 8, 2014 at 22:30

$\begingroup$ I thought you needed particles. For growth along curves Ivy gen addon is probably a good fit for you. bioblog3d.wordpress.com/2013/02/06/iga-is-ready $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 9, 2014 at 2:24

You can use a Halo material and Trail Particles to do this.
Use a turbulence force field to create the random motion. (You can also use the Brownian value in Particles > Physics, but I liked the motion created by the turbulence force-field better)
Set the Trail count up. 700 may be a bit much if you have a lot of particles, and unnecessary if your particles don't move very fast.
Use a Halo material for the particles:
