How To Add Weapon Trails To Your Attacks! | Dreams Tutorial 

Ah, cool... I discovered this also, while working on a project for someone. I did it slightly differently though which is a tad cheaper. Instead of a ton of flecks, I used 2 flecks--one for the start one for the end. Works exactly the same but only has 2 iterations going at once. Then I turned on duplicates :D Cool thing about duplicates is, you can easily make the flecks appear along a line if you want to--eg. the ege of the sword. ;p Right now, the jet trail is going all the time, which isn't ideal. I would turn off the paint, and turn it on with the keyframe--has the same effect as animating opacity, but while the trail isn't shown it's not powered so it'll use no processing power.

I would have never thought of that. Really easy to implement and the result looks great! Thanks a bunch for the video :D

I was wondering how this was done, I feel like a sword trail effect makes attack animations look so much better.

Wow... a great addition for my game AND it's super simple ahahaha

This is simple AF! U got my vote 🗳(hint hint)!

I NEEEEEED THIS

I'm making an action cartoony style game and it's really helped thank you

Sweet! I was going to look that up eventually. Saved me the time bro!

Awesome technique, really helps finish off my attack animations

Thanks dude you are lifesaver! Been looking for it

This is awesome man! I was stumped on making smooth trails for so long now. I'm gonna use this great technique for sure!

Just what I was looking for

Thank you so much!!

thanks you!!

Cool vid man!

ITS OVER 9000

Thank you Aecert

Thank you so much

Yes

Epic : D

noice

2 blank keyframes? What a waste. Why not use the blend of the one keyframe? Other than that cool trick, didn't know that yet. Thanks

I've been trying similar methods to get the effect of a lightsaber swing but never was able to achieve it. Do you have any ideas?

Can you use this for people trials?
