Here's a fun way to do dynamic smoke trails and fire without particles, using lineRenderers. It's not the best for realistic smoke, but if you're after stylised trails, you can get some nice smooth motion with this approach.
As with the other lineRenderer FX, most of the work is done via script and not in shader. Although I am pretty happy with the toony fire that's included here. There are a lot of options to tweak in the inspector for different looks and motions - if anything is confusing let me know in the comments or on Discord.
I hope everybody has a happy holidays, and thanks again for the support.
