Procedural Weapon Trails v1.1
“If possible, please buy the package to support the developer”
Description
A complete, code-free solution for adding smooth, framerate-independent weapon trails to any character. Dual-spline interpolation guarantees flawless motion without meshes, baking, or events.
How It Works
Add one script component, pick from 35 ready-to-use effects, and your trails work immediately. The system handles any skinned mesh or can be controlled manually. You can even run two trails at once for dual-wielding.
The system includes both performance-focused fast templats and advanced smooth trail template powered by dual-spline Cardinal and Hermite curve evaluation. Sub-frame arc-length interpolation guarantees completely smooth, continuous trails regardless of framerate, motion scenario, or weapon velocity, eliminating sharp angles and ribbon twisting during high-speed rotational swings.
The built-in animation editor removes all the usual hassle with timing the start/end of slashes. Use two sliders to set when trails appear, click to choose an effect, and you’re finished. No custom meshes required. No animation events needed. No technical complications.
