Hi,
I'm going to create and render a cool motion graphic which I have seen in a TV channel ,
How can I create this effect?
TNX a lot.

If you've never used After Effects before, your first step is to start with the basics and get to know the software.

I'm using After Effect for about one year and I'm familiar with the fundamentals.
but I my question is about this particular effect in the video (specially wire frame of car)

Shortest and I guess easiest way would be to use plugin Called Element 3d and 3D model of car that you wish to animate like that.
Small exampole of wireframe (and other cool stuff that you can do with that plugin:
As for that light wipe effect you have to play around with fog settings of E3D

For this I would recommend the following:
The car needs to be created in a C4D, MAYA etc. Somewhere you can model.
If you have the car and materials in an .obj format use Video Co Pilot Element 3D to import it
Once important and all materials applied do this:
Go to the Wireframe material settings and check Enable.
By default the wireframe and main geometry will both be on. To render just the wireframe, change the Fill Mode to Lines Only. Line Color will determine whether the diffuse comes from the Line Color picker below or from the current Material settings.
Easier way to do this is from AE interface with Element 3D instead of using Elements UI is (see pics).
However with this method you can't change the line colours etc
From this point you will need to use some glows, masks and a camera.
Pretty simple

This is not a beginner type project. It’s more Internediate especially the “neon skeleton”
You will need to understand AE properly. Track Mattes. Blend modes. Precomps. A few plugins. Nothing too complex but for a beginner it can prove daunting
There are lots of resources out there to get you up to speed. Best to walk before you run
