Free Download: SimpleTrail – Add-on for easy Sword Trail Effects

This free Blender add-on by s3rdia adds a manga-like trail to objects, with presets for fire, sunburst, ice and magic effect

I think animated trail effects look nice. Luckily there are a lot of different methods to achieve this effect. But somehow I think most of the methods are kind of hard and tedious to work with to achieve a rather simple effect. I stumbled upon a method based on geometry nodes and thought it could be kind of handy to get the effect whenever I want with just a button click. So I sat down and created this SimpleTrail addon.
