Quick help: how to use this asset?
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Trails FX is an asset for drawing fast and smooth trails behind moving objects.
|
|
Just add "Trail Effect" script to any gameobject and configure its properties.
|
|
|
|
URP special instructions (only URP!):
|
|
- Space Distortion effect requires Opaque Texture enabled in Universal Rendering Pipeline asset.
|
|
- The demo scene is created for built-in pipeline. Please use the URP material converter to convert demo scene built-in materials to URP.
