Asset/Tutorial: Dust and Bugs

Ian Hubert

I promise you they all download securely, though, I just haven't transferred over all the old assets from years ago.

this asset showing error while download. can't be download securely.

Don't know how I missed your reply to the comment above, my bad! Got the files, thanks so much!!

Ian Hubert

And you tried right clicking on the link and saving? Cause it just worked for me! I should figure out a less confusing method for these old files, though, yeah

Hey Ian, would love to use these in a project but I am having the same issue and am unable to download. Is there another way to get the files? Thank you!

It works!! Thank you very much!

Ian Hubert

The link still works! It's just a bit funky. Did you try right clicking, then "Save link as"? I've started posting assets on my google drive, since that seems to be easier for folks, but these old ones should still work :D

Hey ian, the download link isnt working probably since your site is down. Is there any other way to get these files?

If you are rendering in Eevee, make sure the blend mode is Alpha Blend: Material Tab -> Settings -> Blend Mode = Alpha Blend

When adding the videos as planes I'm having trouble making the black into transparent. Can someone post the whole node set up for this to work? I cant see it on the video. Thank you so much!!!

oh man this method is so nice and simple!

Zach Hoy

same

Ian Hubert

Honestly I'm not totally sure about all the pros and cons. I think just for convenience sake I'll probably just use the video textures most of the time, but it can also clutter stuff up (and confuse cycles, I think) having a ton of near-invisible planes in your scene.

These little details add so much realism. Like your lazy tutorial about moths- I never thought of using them before, now I want to add them to everything. With bugs this small though, is it better using video textures as opposed to using particles directly?

Kai Christensen

excellent!

Youtube compression did not like this one.

CINEMARIACHI

and if you actually make those hair things in a different particle system with some force field tweaks, it looks even more realistic, I've been working on it lately.

i think i will stick with video textures....are you into manta flow or flip fluids.....what are your thoughts on that ....

YouTube video compression be like: help ._.

Robert Gyurko

Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Lol

Your endless creativity never fails to impress! Love this method

What's it say about Ian's skill that I thought the video thumbnail was a render (& can't be the only one :D )

Ian Hubert

AH! Thank you very much!! I thought there was a way, but couldn't find it! Updated the blend file :D

Awesome! :D

For even more convenience, you can zero out the gravity in the field weights setting of the particle system, rather than the global gravity. This way, it will work if you have other objects that do need gravity, and it will also carry over when appended to a new file, so you don't need to turn the gravity off each time
