You can use the supplied prefab or add AfterimageTrailEmitter to a hierarchy containing your own SkinnedMeshRenderer.Adjust the sampling interval, ghost lifetime, trail color, and emission state. Runtime methods let you configure the effect, toggle emission, change color, and clear existing ghosts. An offline PDF manual covers setup, the supplied demo, runtime API, and troubleshooting.This is a skinned-mesh afterimage effect, not a complete character controller, animation-clip collection, or projectile/beam system.
