Conclusion

Adding a motion trail is a really nice and fun way to make anything you are moving come to life. In this tutorial, we applied a motion trail to a circle that was automatically moving from left-to-right. Nothing about what we’ve seen so far restricts you to such a narrow case, though. You can replicate this approach for all sorts of shapes and situations you may find yourself in. For example, at the beginning of this tutorial, we applied a motion trail to our old Follow Mouse example.
