Dust effect

vvvv beta general

Hola amigos,

Anyone have any idea about how to make a dust/snow effect ? I don’t think the best way would be a particle system, but a combination of textures and some distortion on vertices,also transform and texture transform may be better way to do it, but I can’t think how to start.

thanks,

Manuel

hi Manuel,
now i understand what you need. I think the particle is the best approach. this patch should be what you need. Try to play with the values of the particle emitter and with the camera too.
hope it helps ;)

I made something like that while trying to figure out how attractor works. It isn’t clean, it is not a real particle system, but I thought it looked cool ;)

thanks both

west patch works perfectly !, screamer patch too, but I notice that ParticlesThreaded.dll it’s onlly on beta 20. on 21 it’s not there.

So, thanks again, i’ll try both to see what’s best for me

Yes, weird, was missing it too. If you liked that one, here is another approach I made based on some forum post, more dust like this time (again, not a real particle system) ;)
