HOW TO MAKE COOL TRAIL EFFECTS - UNITY TUTORIAL

[@Tsunkuotaku]

This is the perfect unity tutorial. You demonstrated what was written in the title without fluff, um-ing and uh-ing and long-winded explanations. It was concise, well-articulated, showed me EXCATLY what I had to do and how to do it with out any ambiguous or skipped steps. On top of that, you threw in some cool bonus stuff to try out. This should be the gold standard that all programming tutorials and how-tos follow. My hats off to you sir. And thank you very much for your great work.

[@PeterMilko]

thanks just used this for the brackeys game jam! "Down Hole" will be my game

[@animationspace8550]

Pixel pete!! I love your videos!

[@vietanhnguyen1415]

Nice tutorial man, Im nearly 30 years old but recently i have found my true Career Passion, you really insprie us to become a game-dev !!!

[@AvatarSusu]

Me too bro

[@mcminer7361]

Your videos are so cool! The trail tutorial is already awesome but then you even show how to spawn random textures and all that good stuff, you are amazing!

[@Blackthornprod]

Thanks so much :) ! Yep I felt as if just showing the trail renderer component was a little short, so I had loads of fun coming up with other cool ways to make trail effects :) I'm really glad you found those tips helpful !

[@Yamyatos]

@@Blackthornprod Just wanted to mention that you are definitely one of the best Unity tutorial makers on youtube. It's very helpful and very creative, showing different options and even tons of real game examples, which really helps getting ideas as well. All in all, must take a lot of time but thanks for doing it :)

[@briardonovan7409]

instablaster...

[@drepyt3622]

I Personally think this channel is better than brackeys Fun wise and clarity wise

[@hypetrain7134]

Dude you're so good at tutorials! You're going places!

[@stesproject]

Wow Blackthornprod, these techniques are amazing! I just want to let you know that the Instantiate and Destroy methods are very expensive for your memory, especially if you instantiate and destroy so many objects. In these cases is preferred to use an objects pool instead, knowing that more than N objects won't appear on the screen :)

[@MarstonBoii]

I know it is a bit late comment, but could you elaborate please? I'm new and I'm not sure what you are talking about, but I constantly instantiate and destroy objects.

[@stesproject]

@@MarstonBoii you just need to search for "object pooling" and you'll find a lot of information 🙂 is a programming pattern and if you use Unity it's essential. There are also game engines that don't need this "trick", like Godot. All depends on how the engine handles the system memory.

[@MarstonBoii]

@@stesproject that’s amazing! I will definitely dig into it. Thank you for sharing that ;)

[@akashverma4280]

The amount of hard-work and the quality you put in your videos is absolutely incredible !!!

[@RGx27]

As someone who is doing a HND but never touched unity these videos are so informative and brilliant! such an underrated channel.

[@Blackthornprod]

Thanks man :), I'm so happy to hear you like my content !

[@Seanld98]

Trail effects are really neat for any type of game! Great tutorial, simple, straight to the point, easy to manipulate for our own games!

[@Blackthornprod]

Thanks :) ! I'm so happy to hear the tutorial was helpful !

[@i_youtube_]

Wow ! your tutorials are so fantastic and helpful as usual. I am sure one day you will see hundreds of thousands of subscribers in your awesome channel. We wish you all success and happiness. Thank you so much.

[@Oxmond]

[@MohieddineSaadeh]

Enjoy it is not the word.. you're amazing.. can't stop loving your art

[@jishapradosh2585]

Gotta admit... U do some of the best arts in games ever! Big fan of your character and game objects art! ❤️❤️

[@jared-gross]

Just what I have been looking for for past couple months, thank you do much, love all your tutorials. Keep up awesome work, your the best.

[@Blackthornprod]

Thanks so much mate :) !

[@TylerPotts]

You always know the perfect time to upload the right video! Been looking to do more particle and trail effects in my game!

[@Blackthornprod]

I'm so glad I upload at the right time :) ! Hope your game ends up looking great :) !

[@TylerPotts]

Blackthornprod with your videos it will do. 😜

[@voidling2632]

I'm totally in love with your artstyle... i will take some inspiration from it. ^^

[@Socom.x]

Thanks was trying to figure out for ages how to use the curve. Seems like a simple double click does the job. Nice video :)

[@SebaneseTheLebanese]

You are one of my biggest inspirations!! I love your videos and games so much! Please what college did u attend and how long did it take u to master all you know!?

[@Blackthornprod]

Hey and thanks so much :) ! I'm actually 18 and in two weeks I'll have finished my final high school exams ;D ! I'm not planning on going to college but to delve into the world of game dev and blackthornprod full time once I'm done with high school, learning and progressing with internet and with loads of practise ! I started game dev roughly 2 years ago, my secret to learning and improving is really just to make loads and loads ! Even terrible, ugly flappy bird clones will make you better ! So yeah just keep creating and you'll improve in no time :), best of luck on your own journey mate, cheers !

[@SebaneseTheLebanese]

Blackthornprod thank you so much!! I'm 17 and about to write my final exams too! I really don't want to attend one more year in high school but I guess I have to to go to college.. I'm currently working on a game that I really feel can be great some day! I would love to hear your thoughts on it, I will make a video about it on my channel please keep Intouch until then. Then u can forget about me😂 Goodluck woth your journey too man, keep it up!

[@SimF1e]

when you said you quit social media, i thought you would make no more videos.... i was wrong... THANKFULLY!!!!!!

[@cristobalr451]

You will be the next brackeys, cool videos :)

[@jrhager84]

Agreed. Two awesome dudes!

[@lhenardabraham9068]

I think he will be better than brackeys

[@jrhager84]

I dunno, I think they each add their own strengths to their videos. It also seems like Brackey's (and Sykoo) are a bit more versed in the deeper aspects of Unity. A big feature of Blackthorn is the fact that he's also an artist, and can really make his own assets.

[@457Deniz457]

I think :O that :O he is #better than #brackeys :O :D Bcs he dont just talk blabla He shows usefull tutorials :)

[@ohnsonposhka9891]

Can somebody help me? What do I need to do if I want to make the particles interact with user input ie. a fog that moves away from a click of a mouse and keeps on moving until the user stops holding the button down? Thanks in advance.

[@semihcelikol47]

Thank you so much. Finally I found someone who simply describes it.

[@rashidfarhan6223]

[@rohanpereira7084]

I was wondering how to make it when I saw it in your game ,your game art is simple but beautiful and inspiring

[@Blackthornprod]

Thanks Rohan :) ! That's so motivating to hear !

[@hungphuongle1127]

Great work, love what ya doing

[@doublesystem9790]

I think i should use trails, i never did any but that snake-like dude gave me some ideas for a game! Also, what is the game at 10:03? Is it something you are making? (The art kinda looks like your's)

[@Blackthornprod]

It's actually a very small game I made a few weeks ago in 4 hours (I have fun with my bro protoyping something in 4 hours or less around a random theme, in this case it was "lifetime" !), I'm really glad that you came up with a game idea watching that snake :), if you end up making it definitely send me a link to play ;D !

[@onionskin3254]

[@dgames1459]

Hi, I have an error : EchoEffect.cs(12,13): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Player' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Can you help me? Here is my discord : DEYROS#9859

[@lukascook8477]

WOW MAN! This is so cool!

[@KabatZwanyKabatem]

Looks nice and easy.

[@MikeKing710]

So beautiful!

[@Phoenix1337]

You can do the same with the partical system, Spawning mulltible game objects is real taxing on the system

[@anishkumar746]

Keep it up brother, your videos are awesome. SUBSCRIBED...:)

[@boriswho]

You're awesome! Thanks a ton!

[@boriswho]

Invite to your discord is invalid for some reason

[@dharmeshkumar2763]

waoo.... i really love this tutorial. you thought me something new today. you are really so smart.

[@Blackthornprod]

I'm so glad you learnt a new trick or two :) ! Keep learning and progressing, cheers :) !

[@bearandrei4683]

Perfect as always

[@AlexStranic]

9:54 error CS0246: The type or namespace name `Player' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

[@atrumluminarium]

Got this too

[@CubicHD]

Me Too

[@m.b.a5260]

yes me to how do you solve it ?

[@danimelgar4472]

hi, could this be done with hair? is that I am making a game that consists of the character has. very long hair, would that do?

[@MoonSoftOfficial]

Instant like man :DD Good material

[@muhammadhasansiddiqui6017]

you could use particle system instead of coding for that echo like effect

[@beaverjoe9171]

Thanks so much offering so many tutorials and you inspire me to make own vedio but i am not have good english and i would choose to offer what i know and you did not make it to make one tutorial. But any way, you are so great for unity 2d and congrats your subscribes up to 9000 these days and hopes your channel better

[@rahulujjal8245]

I thought I knew enough about trails, they are trails they are what's left behind as you move! :P but no that's no it this tutorial really show how can you really be creative with them! Great job, another great tutorial. Just a curious question is there a way to have colliders for a trail? I'm thinking something like those tron bikes had.

[@alfonsopayra]

you could instantiate invisible boxes behind your character with only colliders on them

[@phambaoha170]

very good!

[@psychosidx]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@codynoname8214]

Fantastic tutorial, everything made perfect sense! Thank you!

[@dimitriilldman]

Hi! I'm using your cool method in my game and everything is fine until 7:37 error CS0246... I couldn't find a solution, can you help me?

[@MaxPicAxe]

Great tutorial!

[@noobinprogess9880]

simple and great!!!

[@OmeedNOuhadi]

How do you make the trail a Rigid Body. For your snake's body, how would you make it so that the whole snake was solid so that the body would react when it hits something solid?

[@Masfugo]

Nice tutorial! I was looking into how to make good looking trail But but... instantiating and destroying object on every update like that.. wouldn't that be bad for FPS especially on mobile? I know I can use object pooling but having that many object on screen definitely would have effect on the draw call. .___. I might try it out tho. nice inspiration!

[@monishvyas2749]

You can use object pooling to keep the load minimal.

[@alinawaz4034]

i think we also can use partical system for this work which may be very efficient and easy for this purpose

[@omleen3187]

Amazing. Please make more and more

[@momo-zr1tz]

Amazon tutorial 🔥🔥🔥

[@drgayfish3773]
