Help with Dust Particles ?

[xsi_fanatic]

Hi guys,

Please don't laugh at me... but I wanna create dust particles to create the same effects in the following videos.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdNdEuU30m4

Timeline = 0:18 secs

and this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEz0mYMPbjU

Timeline = 0:09 secs , 0:18 secs , and actually you can see the same effect throughout the entire video if you watch it in HD.

I couldn't find any good tutorials on how to achieve that in XSI. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,
XF

The dust is easily achievable using After Effects and the built in particles, or external plugins, it's quite simple.

If Softimage is needed, I did it like this (sample Scn):
https://mega.co.nz/#!OUkE3RzD!NwiyYTR_H ... AHXCCEOlM0

Then in compositing, a Camera Lens Blur effect (in the plug-in list) with the Diffraction Fringe parameter to 500 (instead the default 100), would work.

Sweeeet ! Thanks, I'll check out the scene file and look into After Effects particles as well

Hi man,

Sorry to bother you but, the scene wouldn't load. I tried with SI 2012 and 2013. What version was this created in ? 2014 ?

Here it is. It's really nothing fancy, but maybe it can help you.

You might want to turn off the volumic that I added as a first preview.

Superpositivo,

I checked out the scene and it's just what I'm trying to achieve! Thank you so much.

The same effect will be added to my new showreel. I feel like I have add you to the end credits to show my gratitude. What do you say ?

Much appreciated,
