Autotrail

Developer: 3Dan

Download Free

A Blender geometry nodes asset library that adds customizable trails to animated objects, with 20+ effects.

What Autotrail does

AutoTrail provides geometry node trees that leave trails behind moving objects in Blender. More than twenty effects are included, from simple glows to a bubble trail whose bubbles pop and a trail made of comic-style onomatopoeia text.

The trails work on straight lines and on curved paths. Setup is by drag and drop from the asset browser, using a target object and a vertex group, and each effect has many controls for customization. The library needs Blender 4.1 or newer. Motion designers and VFX artists adding stylized streaks, speed lines or magic effects will find it quick.
