About Trails FX
Add eye-catching motion trails to attacks, dashes, projectiles, vehicles and magic in minutes. Just drop one script on any moving object and Trails FX draws smooth, long, GPU-instanced trails with correct transparency order, so they look great and stay performant even with many trails on screen.
From a simple color streak to rainbow texture stamps and space distortion warps, Trails FX gives you a whole toolbox of looks without writing a single shader.
