Make The Air Dusty | Blender Tutorial

[@StuartGilbert]

Thanks for making a quick, calm, concise tutorial without some awful text to speech voiceover. This is exactly what I wanted to know without any messing around.

[@_Approximated_]

All good man, glad you found it useful

[@mustanggox]

this part isn’t given as much credit as it deserves. I can’t stand the AI voices. it’s getting annoying

[@dammitguydude]

This is the PERFECT tutorial. Jokes, calm voice, concise music, straight to point and quick. And it works as well. Thank you so much for your effort and work.

[@_Approximated_]

Thanks I appreciate it 💎

[@AArmstrongC]

Nice! thanks! You can uncheck "show emitter" to hide the cube in the Particle Settings, instead of using a Transparent material

[@_Approximated_]

Yeah sorry about that, had a brain fart and completely forgot. On the flip side though like I mentioned in the video you can leave the emitter on and give it a volumetric material enhancing the dust effect

[@clayletter]

Does this also work for the render/rendered view?

[@pitched7401]

@@clayletter Yes, there are two separate checkboxes to enable or disable the emitter. One under Render and the other under Viewport Display

[@limitedhangoutlive]

Transparent didn't work but this did! Thank you!

I go back to this video every time I need to make dust particles in a scene! Great work! Short and to the point! nothing better!

[@JordanMatyka]

Exactly what I needed right now. 3 minutes later and I can move on with my project - thanks a lot!

[@jordanburbank]

So direct and succinct. Thank you for this tutorial. It adds so much more realism to a scene.

[@_Approximated_]

Thanks I'm glad it helped!

[@TechGamerAndHacker]

I knew I was missing something in my Render but didn't know what was that Thanks bro for that

[@lmjuniper]

A year later and this still works perfectly. Thank you so much!

[@_Approximated_]

Glad it helped!

[@mordfustang1933]

Nice tutorial, you can also mix a transparency shader into the translucent one, for the particles it acts as a adjustment slider

[@ADEPS.]

Thanks

[@ZemTheTem]

this tutorial is lovely and really helps my renders not look as artificial as they normally do, thank you for bestowing this world with your amazing tutorial.

[@FilmSpook]

You're a Genius Creator, many thanks, my Brother

[@KousseilaMd]

this us so underrated, great video with great explaination thanks mate, i hope you'll grow up your channel more, u deserve it

[@_Approximated_]

Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it

[@danne9043]

Great quick tutorial, thought using volume absorption plugged in to volume for the cube help me retain a more realistic lighting in my seen

[@No_name_guy_]

Thank you for creating a simple and clear tutorial. My only struggle is with the depth of field-I can't find a way to keep the particles blurred without blurring the rest of the scene. As a result, the particles are not blurry and not fully translucent, which doesn’t look very good.

[@_Approximated_]

You can mess around with the depth of field settings but it will only give you things that are realistic, either try messing around with the dust shader (maybe mix some transparency in there) or move some dust closer to the camera so they appear more blurred. Also have a look at some real dust in photos as reference.

[@No_name_guy_]

Tip: Uncheck motion blur in Object Properties if u get weird streaks in the render; pulled my hair over this one!

[@robwahl]

🙏

[@OnCrack3D-e9h]

i disabled it but in the render tab since I cant find it on the object properties and it still shows up :( i have the blender 4.2.3 LTS version

[@bordbord123]

dude thanks. I have been looking for the exact tutorial for so long now :)

[@_Approximated_]

All good!

[@dumpsky]

tip to hide your particles: put all your particle objects into a 'collection' and simply turn this collection off (uncheck in outliner panel). emitters/instancers using these objects will still show them.

[@nuPrivett]

Great tutorials! Keep going, you're doing a great job. Not tedious, brief and to the point. Clearly. ❤

[@thisisZOA]

In viewport display I don't see Bounds, or any of the options that are on your screen

[@koiib]

Thank you super clear and fast paced got exactly what I needed

[@chitose0906]

it's very useful to make painting style background! thank a lot!!!!

[@CuriosityIM]

This is amazing. A tutorial on how you color grade your renders would really be appreciated

[@_Approximated_]

Thanks! I'll consider making a tutorial on that sometime in the future

[@Tauscopis]

0:46 i laughed way too hard at this man

[@DemNikoArt]

Very nice video. Short and to the point! 👍 There is btw an option in the particle settings to hide the emitter for rendering... somewhere in there 😁 Keep up the great work!

[@_Approximated_]

Yep it crossed my mind after I finished the video but this way you could also add a volumetric matt to it and eventuate the dusty atmosphere.

[@DemNikoArt]

[@SeriousGamer753]

Great tutorial. Though for some reason the individual particles are black for me? The shaders are properly set. Not sure what's up

[@_Approximated_]

Thanks, might be your lighting or scale

[@ariwix_030]

Anyone knows why my particles show as black when rendering ?

[@UnflappedFlea]

amazing tutorial! love this

[@jamesriley5057]

Hey guys. Use mesh to points in geometry nodes for better memory usage

[@defdac]

Love the pacing and the result is awesome. Subd. Nu pun intended.

[@_Approximated_]

Awesome, thank you!

[@BurritoBushido]

Awesome tutorial. Quick and to the point. For some reason though my particles never render. I've googled and tried a bunch of things but they only ever show up in the viewport display and never in the render. Would love any advice if you can spare some.

[@_Approximated_]

Thanks, might be a bunch of things, they might be turned off in the render or they might be moving really fast so with motion blur they get blurred so much you can't even see them

[@olegb2177]

Same

[@animebinger7974]

I'm having trouble with the last step. My dust particles won't blur, but the background is. The dust renders as just plain balls. Edit: Figured it out. Where you place the dust in relation to the camera is important.

[@ratyio_cookie775]

It's very cool, thanks !!

[@Star_54]

A wonderful tutorial! Dust particles work great! But you don't know how to make sure that the dust doesn't fly out of the cube?

[@0roks]

For some reason it doesn't work on my project :(( It works nice on blank project but something's wrong with the first steps of making dust on my project Oh lol, I changed keyframe to 1 (because I had on 0) and it's alright

[@TehCatarinaS]

When I animated the particle after the Children /Simple, was all going like a Film or VHS noise I mean fast. Guess that helps only in still images

[@Hajmrs]

love the tutorial really helped but one question, my dust gets out of the cube and i turn down the childrens radius to 0m, on one of my renders it did work but now it doesnt idk what i did.

[@f.h.rowell3445]

Nice video, thank you.

[@twocookies4190]

How can I make sure that the cube is not visible in the final render?

[@akongas]

same, did you figure it out?

[@muhammadwildan849]

​@@akongasI still haven't figure out how to make it look exactly like in the thumbnail. But I eventually change the particles shape from sphere to flat circles and face it flat to the camera. It does not look as good as the thumbnail but it works for me 😅

what does that children thing do in the particle system? Ive never used it on my own. I just used it when someone in a tutorial said i should turn that on yk Thanks for any respond!

[@_Approximated_]

It creates clones of already existing particles, so you get more dust for not extra processing cost

How long it takes if I want to render a 1 min video with RTX 3070?

[@charlzoid]

itll entirely depend on whats in your scene apart from the particles. what i often do is render a still frame of a good part of the clip that i think would take the longest to render, i see how long it takes and times it by how many frames are in the animation, then i divide by 60 to get that time in minutes. if render times are too high you can always lower your resolution a bit and bring those details back when editing, also decimating objects with high poly counts as much as you can whilst keeping it unnoticable
