[OT] glow trails

does anyone has ideas about how this cool manga glow trail is done in OpenGL? articles, tutorials?

I’d start with some sort of curve (bezier curves are nice and easy) and tessalate that into a long triangle strip every frame, making each triangle face the direction of the camera. A bit of vertex colouring and texturing and you’re done :slight_smile:
