Easily Create A Realistic Atmosphere With These New 6K Dust Particle FX

Today is the day! Our Dust Particles Collection is officially available and we couldn’t be more excited to see what innovative ways you'll put them to use.

While Dust Particles don't usually steal the spotlight in most VFX shots, we believe that these high quality elements will help put the finishing touches on your shot, no matter the genre, without taking forever to composite. 

Check out this video to get a more in-depth look at this brand new Collection of effects!
Product features:
  • 30 individual clips varying in dust amount, dust size, and distance to camera
  • 2K and 6K Prores 422 (HQ) versions, as well as the original 6K .R3D files
  • Filmed at 75 frames per second with plenty of flexibility to slow down
  • Captured on the cutting-edge RED Weapon Helium 8K
  • DRAGONcolor2 color space
One of my absolute favorite parts about this Dust Particles stock footage Collection, is how easy they are to incorporate into a scene.

In addition to creating some light rays to compliment the effect for the demo shots, I literally just dragged them into the tracked shot, changed the blending mode from "Normal" to "Screen", applied some camera lens blur, and boom! Sexy atmospheric ambience in no time.

Of course, I could have removed the black background another way. But since it’s not a light-based effect, there’s no use in bogging the comp down to add an alpha channel to it.

These effects will come in handy in creating anything from a stylized fantasy environment, to a realistic archaic tomb unveiling.
