  3D Logo elevating and falling, generating dust when it hits

  Posted by Mark Almeida on July 14, 2015 at 9:42 am

  Hey Cows, so my when my Logo lands back on my surface, i want to give it some impact, like it made a difference. I did this with wave world for a water impact. Can’t think of any way to get the dust effect. Imagine dropping a heavy pile of books on the ground, then the screen shakes and dust flies when the books hit the dirt. (im not dumping books in the dirt in the video, just an example sorry)

  You can use a particle system to create your own dust, but an easier method is to purchase some stock footage of dust with an alpha channel and composite that. For the screen shake, use a wiggle expression. There are a few great tutorials on screen shakes and earthquake effects on VideoCopilot.net.
