Spline Trail Renderer 1.3 now available for Unity 5!

A new version of the Spline Trail Renderer is out! We ported to Unity 5 and added a few shaders and minor bug fixes.

The package is available on the Asset Store: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#/content/10236

What changed in version 1.3:

• Updated scripts and shaders to be 100% compatible with Unity 5
• Added custom shaders to blend between 2 colors depending of the length of the spline
• Fixed some rare cases of out of range exceptions

Note that the Web Player doesn't work on Chrome anymore since they disabled the Unity plugin, and all NPAPI. You can either manually re-enable NPAPI, or use an other browser to see the demo.

New trail samples!

Here is a preview of some of the new trail samples that will be included in the next release of Spline Trail Renderer!

The package is available on the Asset Store: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#/content/10236

Spline Trail Renderer is used to complement the default Trail Renderer of Unity. It renders much smoother curves and it gives more control over the fading speed, orientation to camera, etc.

Trails can support any material, so they can have scrolling textures, bump mapping, procedural animations, and more. Samples demonstrating those techniques will be included in the next release.

For any questions or comments, come see us on the Unity forums!
