Increase the value of 'Minimum Vertex Distance', in the 'Trails', since lower values generate more triangles. Cheers, have a blast!

Great tutorial in general! Obviously, as it was made in Unity 2018, there are some changes/issues if anyone is using Unity 2019 or 2020 as the particles system got a bit of an upgrade. In 2019 and 2020, to make things works as shown in the video, there are a few changes (as well of possible optimization) that has to be made. Here's a quick list of the changes and why they are necessary in 2019 and 2020: *• Change Start Speed to 0* Prior to Unity 2019, the "trail" option was, by default, only using the movement of the system to generate the particles and was ignoring the start speed. Since Unity 2019, the start speed is now active and this will make the particle active toward a direction regardless of the movement. (In other words, it's ugly.) Since 2019, setting Start Speed to 0 makes it so that any generated particles are truly at the position of the object in space during their lifetime. *• Use Rate over Distance instead of Burst & Rate over Time* This is more of an optimization than a change. Using Burst & Rate over Time means that the weapon will ALWAYS generate a trail even if it's not moving. That's approx. 80 faces per weapon (if you limit things to 40 particles) Using the "Rate over Distance" not only allow the particles to be only generated when the weapon is in movement, but it's also allow you to use fewer particles as there's far fewer chances of getting the small bits where the particles aren't enough present. It does requires a bit of changes to the lifetime. Using the settings shown in the video gives me approx 55-60 particles at a time. Using Rate over Distance (20), lifetime of 0.2-0.6 and start size of 0.05-0.2 gives me around 38 particles at most at a time. This might sound small, but that's a 30% lighter trail on the CPU and, if applicable, GPU and it's 99% lighter if the object doesn't move as particles are only generated when in movement. *• It's better to use a texture that is tiled horizontally* This is more of an artistic and technical thing, but trails works a lot better when you use a texture that is tiled horizontally. As such, it helps reduce the "jiggering" of the curved movements. For example, instead of using the default "blurry dot" particle texture, the results will be a lot better if you use either a full white square (and apply the color through the particle system) or a vertical linear gradient (if you want smoothness in the trail lines).

How about performance ? How many particles is minimum to use and keep good performence? I can see that you have between 50-80 per second, did you use them just to show the effect without care about performance or it is fine ? I am just curious because I am rather new with fx and I am trying to keep up to 10 per second for the mobile games.

@ahmedsiddique2998 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, Nice tutorial I have question about performance using particle effects over trail renderer and especially for mobile applications
@creationsmaxo 4 жыл бұрын
In terms of performances, the trail renderer has a relatively stable performance impact based on its few settings while the particles effect method can be either far more optimized (lighter on the CPU) as you can actually produce a really good result with even just half of the faces generated by the most optimized trail renderer settings, but 2 to 3 times more beautiful results... but you can also totally kill your mobile application by not setting it right. The most awesome part of the particles method is the ability to change the particles on the fly in real-time and that includes 1 little trick that works wonderfully with mobile optimization. On mobile application, the best thing to do with things like particles effect is to keep them active and present, but without particles. This is to avoid having any of their ram-cached data eaten by the Garbage Collector (GC) as, if such is the case, it will have to reload the particles data (such as the texture(s)) again which then can again be eaten by the GC and so on. Having the particle system always present and active makes the GC unable to collect and waste the data hence being faster to start again without any impact on the CPU and, if applicable, GPU. To do so, simply change the emission rate to 0 through a script. Not only will this keep the particle system "alive" and avoid filling the GC, but it will also allow any remaining particle to "finish their life" and won't make anything disappear (such as if you disable the particles system). Another thing that is cool with the particle method, for optimization, is the ability to simply reduce the number of particles if the device is low-end. This might look slightly worse, but it's the best considering you don't break the (artistic) feeling of your effect due to the device not being able to render everything. After all, it's better to have a least-beautiful effect than no effect at all. The Trail Renderer has this issue as its available options don't work well with thing like per-device optimization. The few options that allow optimization (in the trail renderer) are options you, usually, already have optimized as much as possible from the start so any further optimization usually ends up looking way too bad or broken.
