Help with dust on impact
Hello 3d world,
wondering if anyone can help out… Need to create a piece of animation where a rock smashes into a plane of some sort (the ground), the rock smashes into bits, and the impact throws all sorts of dust in the air. For the impact, I may or may not use dynamics (probably just as effective and much easier to keyframe), but the dust thing…? I’ve been scouring for tutorials that will lead me. As I really haven’t wrapped my head around TP or Xpresso I can’t really repurpose tutorials that don’t EXACTLY spell out how to do what I’m trying to do. Has anyone come across such a tutorial, or can anyone just tell me “you do this, then that”?
I would reeeeeeally appreciate anyone’s help in this a lot. -

Simplest way would be to use the standard particle system — just keyframe the emitter to coincide with the impact and use a gravity object to pull the dust down. Then use Pyrocluster to create the dust effect. You’d probably want to use two or more emitters for different size debris.

You can create convincing fluid dust with DPIT Nature Spirit on impact easily by using the included simple particles and fluids engine.
