I made this Geometry Nodes modifier for a project I was working on. It generates three-dimensional trails from a mesh.
I’ve made it available for free on Gumroad: https://alemarcati.gumroad.com/l/geonodes_trails_v1
It’s free, but if you wish to support you can name your own price.
Features:
- Adjustable Lifetime of particles/curves.
- Lifetime can be uniform or randomized per strand.
- Adjustable velocity at which the particles/curves move.
- Adjustable noise scale, amount and speed.
- Trails are generated from mesh vertices - select between emitting from all vertices or from a specific Vertex Group.
- Age and Lifetime of each strand is accessible as attributes form shader editor, enabling effects such as the color of the strand changing along its length.
- Works in local space only.
