how to do matrix bullet trail

[Dave Black]

Disable the raytrace's AA for test renders.

Try thinwall refraction.(Probably won't do it for ya, though)

Render out the animation and set it as your enviroment background, THEN raytrace the trail against that.

Just some ideas.

Thanks! 3DZealot,
How about animating it ? I plan to show the whole trail from the shooter to the target. I am still thinking of way to avoid using raytrace. I remember there was a tutorial on Internet abouth this, but failed to allocate it now.

I think I may know where that tutorial is...

Be back in a sec...
