i think you should do a proper installation tutorial or how to use guide for people who can't use blender at all. I just bought it but i would apperciate to have an installation how to use guide.
awesome! im very happy but i have a problem when make an animation render in evee. the light trails look white (desaturated) and the color only appears in the end of animation. its weird, in a still frame render looks awesome but i a secuence the light go away :( what could be?
Hi! Are you rendering transparent png files? if so, png files doesn't support emissive and high dynamic range color. It is recommended to use Exr format when using semi-transparent emissive objects. Thanks!
Yes, Cycles is limiting transparent light bounces. You need to increase it. Check the documentation: blendermarket.com/products/light-trails-generator/docs
@@Specoolar Hey I ran into another issue. Not with the light streaks itself but more with the curve. So I added one of the light streaks with a 3 point curve. The outer control points' radiuses are bigger and the middle one is smaller. But when I scale down the middle one, the light streaks become edgy and not smooth. I tried swiching the Active Spline under the curve properties settings but it didn't help sadly :(
@@Specoolar Man you are always so quick with your help. Thanks a lot! Increasing the resolution helped a bit with the rest of the curve, but the middle curve point ist still edgy. Can I send you some screenshots? I think I can't explain it that well
@@Specoolar Open the project and leave the creation of the asset browser to be at the point of pulling new projects, it would be good for you to review the use of Blender's asset browser. Thanks!
@@Specoolar Near, I mean regular curves. The loop I mean is when the timeline reaches its end and loops back to its starting point, then Light Trails should be seamless looping. I'm not sure if this is possible as I am very new to Geometry nodes.
This does not work for an imported alembic animated curve. When assigning light trails, everything disappears. If you remove the alembic modifier (MeshSequenceCache), it starts working, but of course without animation. How to solve this problem? I'm importing animated curves from another program and really need to use them with animation.
Hi! Maybe, the animation is exported as a mesh lines, not curves. Try this: -Add a new geometry nodes modifier after MeshSequenceCache modifier, before LightTrails modifier, -In the node tree add Mesh To Curve node. Hope this helps
Really dig this. One thing I ran into: It would be awesome if you copy the instructions to the documentation tab on Blendermarket as well. I was just starring at the documentation page, thinking that I remember seeing more instructions. ;)
@iSatu Hi! Can you tell me more details about the problem? Are there the objects visible in viewport mode? Or completely empty scene? Also, try playing animation, as they are not visible in the first frame
@@Specoolar Everything seems to be there when unmasking the layers but the curves that are supposed to be the light trails are invisible. When hiding the node modifier the shape of the curves become visible but disappear when the modifier is on. I let the animation run when trying to understand so thats not it. If you have any idea i'll take it, thanks :)
boa tarde pessoal eu acabei de comprar o light-trails-generator e não vejo como instalar e nem como adicionar ele em um projeto alguém ai pode me ajudar com isso?

lucky are the young generations today WITH THIS LEVEL OF SOFTWARE TECH
You make the most visually interesting stuff, very cool!
00:14 good hit on the beat.
Please make a tutorial on the 4 th light movement

That's not called installment
Great addon. Mega value for money! :)

How do you get these working in Cycles? The light trails have black spots in cycles. I assume a problem with the alpha?
Yes, Cycles is limiting transparent light bounces. You need to increase it.
Check the documentation:
blendermarket.com/products/light-trails-generator/docs
@@Specoolar Wow, fast answer! Thanks man. I actually compared your blend file with mine and found the increased max bounces :D

Can this light streaks emit light to other objects in the scene?
Only in Cycles
@@Specoolar Thank you so much for the answer!
I bought it, but there is no user manual or tutorial link for installing the product
hi, there is no need to install it. It is a project file, you open it, copy one of the trail objects(CTRL+C) and paste(CTRL+V) in your project. Thanks
@@Specoolar Open the project and leave the creation of the asset browser to be at the point of pulling new projects, it would be good for you to review the use of Blender's asset browser. Thanks!
@@denilsondnstudio I still haven't tried asset browser. I don't fully understand how it works. but, I will consider it. Thanks!
hi your product works very well i like it But is there a way I can animate a loop version?
Hi, thanks!
Do you mean cyclic curves? Currently no, I am thinking about implementing this too
@@Specoolar Near, I mean regular curves. The loop I mean is when the timeline reaches its end and loops back to its starting point, then Light Trails should be seamless looping. I'm not sure if this is possible as I am very new to Geometry nodes.
@@jabcc42 this is also not possible, I think it can be done with some workarounds, but I'm not sure. I will consider adding this feature too.
Thanks!
@@Specoolar Do it, will buy this plugin probably today :) keep updating it

could I export this as an alembic animation into unreal and make it work?
hello! i just bought the project but it doesn't seem to work. it just shows a black screen and no streaks is showing
Hello, which version of Blender are you using? It should be 3.3 or higher
@@Specoolar i do use the last version and have the same problem

I just bought this for my
film. gonna use it on an electrical god character and hermes. You’ll be in the credits.
Wow, Great! Thank you :)
How can I implement this stuff into my existing scene? Sorry, I am a very beginner in Blender... :)
You can just select and copy one of those trail objects (ctrl+c) and paste it into your scene (ctrl+v)
@@Specoolar Thx ! :)
@@Specoolar Shame myself... I thought it is even more complicated...thx bro! :)
@@sandormegyesi8435 No problem :)
Fantastic 👌👍 love it
could i export light trails to Unreal Engine?
You can export the generated mesh, but you need to recreate the shader in UE
Is there a way to make it loop?
Yes, There is Loop Time property
They show up as black in cycles... what have I done wrong? works in eevee
Increase Transparent light bounce count under Light Paths tab in render settings
Awesome🙂Thanks for the super quick reply! Worked@@Specoolar
