Creating Powerful Light Trails in Blender 4.5

Bart ·
Abstract digital art featuring glowing lines and particles, likely created using 3D software.

In this blender tutorial Ducky 3D will be using geometry nodes to create light trails that draw geometry as the camera moves. This is a powerful concept that you can use in many of your motion graphics animations and other related styles of animation.

We will be using geometry nodes to create the curves, creating a mirror system in geometry notes so that the animation will be a stainless loop. And will be using transparency to reveal the geometry as the camera moves.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
