@Travis It’s a separate texture (below)
@Filip_Kovac They are tileable! I hand paint them using the technique above from the trail tutorial. I often use the Filter-> Other → Offset (wrap) to make sure everything tiles well

You can create tiled textures in Krita, is easier to do them. And the software its free with stabilizer

Thanks Love this topic!
I would love to learn more about painting textures. Especially about noise. How do you come up with them? Most of the time I’m amused how much you can achieve with just well painted noise scrolling over a mesh.

Gorgeous.
A few years’ back, Julian Love said in his GDC talk that for him, good vfx should have the entertainment quality of a firecamp.
This is exactly how if feel about this trail, I don’t get tired watching it. Also you can’t read through the textures panning, it blends so well! Lovely work.

I have really been enjoying and learning from these tutorials, but the only thing I can’t get to work is multiplying the textures together to give it that wispy feel. I have tried some different things in Unreal and Unity but can’t seem to get it to work like you have with the orange trail.
i wanna say a BIG THANKS for your sharing

I mainly use Unity and this is my node setup using ShaderForge, along with a screenshot of the material applied to a trail. This was after messing around with opacity clipping and other things. I ended up using your example trail texture as a base to see if I could get something to work. Any advice would be appreciated.

That’s all done in After Effects with motion graphics I believe, which isn’t an area I’m familiar with x.x Sorry!! D: I can try and put you in contact with the mograph artist if you’d like?

Can I see how you did this? Or is this a sprite sheet?
