TrailRenderer is a Unity component that creates visually appealing trails behind moving objects, like the tail of a comet streaking through the sky. These trails can enhance the realism of fast-paced games or add visual flair to various effects. Dive into the Unity's TrailRenderer Documentation to explore its capabilities in more detail.
