Hi! I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue, I think that it is because it is at the first frame of the animation which causes simulation nodes to bug out a bit. The easiest way I know of to fix it is to keyframe the duration of the smears to 0 on the first frame and then up it afterwards. I will continue looking for a fix for this but in the meantime, this is the best workaround I know of. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Been having a ton of fun with the addon so far! Just one downside I'm not sure if anything can be done about or might be beyond the scope of the project, but don't suppose there's an easy way to have the trails animate on 2s? This is a common issue I've had with all geonodes that rely on simulations, I can workaround the ones that use scene time or frame by replacing them with a keyframed value and applying a stepped modifier on the curves in the graph editor, but not sure anything of the sort can be done with simulations.

Hey, I'm considering buying this addon, but I have a pretty important question. Does the simulation always work in world space or object space? Or is there a way to switch it? It may sound like it's not a big deal, but imagine you have a character running very fast, or when it's parented to a different object, like a vehicle and you want the simulation to behave exactly like when the character is standing still. It would create a very weird result where the trails are all over the place.
@3DDan_
@3DDan_ 3 ай бұрын
The full smears are in world space because of the fact that they are a separate object from the one you are adding the smear to, so if you have a character parented to a different object, it will take the movement of both the character and the parent into account.
@K4animation
@K4animation 3 ай бұрын
@@3DDan_ oh that's a shame, do you think it is possible to somehow bake the geometry nodes before parenting so that the smear object can be parented later without changing the appearance? or is it possible to change it in the node tree itself? if it worked, this addon would be even better than it is now
@3DDan_
@3DDan_ 3 ай бұрын
@@K4animation Sorry for the late reply, I have been out of town for a little bit now. If you have a character animation and something you need to parent the character to, you could do the smear before parenting, then go to the physics tab with the smear selected and press 'Bake'. Then you can do your parenting, but you would have to parent both the smear and the character. I believe that this would achieve your desired result, but I understand this workflow might be a little annoying so I will see if I can figure out how to do it in the geometry nodes trees, but working with world > object space and vice versa is a little tricky in geometry nodes currently so sadly no promises.

I'm having trouble attaching these trails to more than 3 objects in a video. I get to the fourth object and the trail is just flying off in a random direction, usually down. I'm fairly certain that I'm doing the same process as I did when I attached the first 3 trails... Edit: Yeah I don't understand. I made a blank document. I added the trails before i moved the object, AND after i moved the object. I did the vertex group thing, called it trail, and it worked perfectly. Then I went to the animation I'm working on (which admittedly has a lot of elements), added the vertex group, called it Trail, added the trail to the already moving object (which I did in the test document) and now the trail is moving downward, perpendicular from the moving object. I tried deleting a lot of stuff, it didn't work. I tried baking the trail, didn't work.

I would recommend exporting in the alembic file format (.abc) as it works best with simulation nodes from my testing. I am not sure if Godot supports alembics, but if it doesn't you could just reimport the alembic into a fresh blender scene, and then export that as glb (or whatever file format like fbx or obj sequence).

Hey, if you are using the full smears then you could for sure do it, in Cycles just select the smear object then go to object > visibility > ray visibility and uncheck shadow. If you're in Eevee then you can turn the shadow off in the material settings. If you are using the straight smears it would be a bit harder but I'll figure something out to include in the next update.
