Asset/Tutorial: Dust and Bugs (Patreon)

Hah! So- making tutorials for physics-based stuff is always a little daunting because it invariably comes down to "just tweak stuff till it looks right for your specific situation".

With that in mind, I also wanted to put out some pre-made video textures that I think can be super useful for environmental scenes!

Download Dust/Bugs video files and Blend

You can use them in AE or blender or whatever :)

I recommend using the "Import Images as Planes" add-on included in Blender, and setting up the material nodes like this (maybe check "Cyclic"- all the videos loop):

(you can replace the translucent shader with an emission shader if you want the dust/moths to ignore lighting and just glow a little for maximum visibility (and shorter render times, I believe).

I'm going to be using this in part 3 of the "Making a whole shot" video, but wanted to focus on it a bit more.
