Yes, there are several options depending on what effect you want.

  1. Add a sprite for the trail, rotate it so it points in the right direction and scale it according to the object movement. This trail won’t bend so it may look funny if the ball tracks a tight arc though.

  2. Build it with particle effects. It may be a bit tricky to get it to look “solid”, especially if you have other objects behind it. This is probably the easiest way to get something decent into place.

  3. Write a custom shader. This allows you to bend, shape and tone the trail as you like but it’s an option that requires more work.
