Hi All,
Just wondering if Blender can do trails for objects.
I have a mesh arrow that is following a curve. I want the arrow to leave a trail. Can blender do this?:spin:
Using Blender 2.48, I have concluded that trails of objects are not possible along a curve.
I tried use an emitter and a guide curve. This comes close using the billboard setting, but I need a full 3D object, not just a plane. The object and group settings do not support curve guides (why?)
I tried using an array modifier, but that does not work along a curve. Parenting and such causes cyclic dependency.
The only method left is good old brute force. I created 4 copies of my source object and offset them along a curve and gave each one of them a material with the alpha dropping off a little more for each copy.
