Creating trails

Craig 63 posts01 Jul 2007Hi guys, ive been looking all over for a tutorial on this but havent found one. What im trying to do is make trails for a spaceship, ive tried using particles but its too "loose" and doesnt look like the trail im going for. Here is a pic of what im trying to achieve.
now, the easy solution is to just make a self illuminated cylinder, that would be fine in a still, but i want something that works in animation so it has to be able to curve and "flow" when the ship turns and moves.
thanks for any help -
01 Jul 2007Hey Craig,
There is a free plugin for max called ky_trails that does exactly that kind of thing. It's very easy to use and provides great results.
I don't have the website for it off-hand...but I'm sure you could google it easily
