glow on trail renderer

hey guys,
unity is new for me
please suggest me how to glow trail by using particle trail renderer.
is there any way to make orbit that can work on iphone, i try Mesh Particle Emitter but that is heavy with iphone with my game play.

thank u

 

You can either fake the glow in the texture itself or use an image effect to apply the glow (requires Unity Pro).

 

Thank u aNTeNNa trEE.
i try this before. it will fix forever
i can not adjust that for my purpose.
is there any way other than using texture image glow

 

Can you post an image of the look you are trying to achieve?

 

ok, please see the attached reference image for glow ring

 

Ok, here's a small example. The main things to note are that you need to have an alpha channel in the the textures that you want to glow. Also these alpha values need to get written into the buffer every frame so for certain shaders you need to take out the line:

ColorMask RGB

The example project can be downloaded here:

[Edit] Forgot to mention that this example uses LineRenderers instead of TrailRenderers, but the concept is exactly the same.

 

Pretty nice example.

 

I am assuming this example project is Unity Pro?!... if so, can this effect be obtained via Indie?

Cheers all,
Matt.
