Dust effect - car on a dirt road

Recommended Posts

Hi guys. For a current project I am trying to create a realistic dust trail to be used in Unreal for a cinematic. Think car on a dirt road.

Was thinking the best approach would be to actually simulate it and create a flipbook.  To create this quite specific smoke-dust type effect are there any good tutorials for me to watch or actual .hips for me to deconstruct?

my opinion u can use velocity filed in game engine for advect particles ,  but some times is little dirty way send it and then see it  in engine .

u can simulate your dust in the Houdini and then use velocity filed for advection particles , when u get believable result u can send your particle (csv point cache -- Niagara ) into the engine with the lab tools . 

for smoke maybe imposter sprites is better choise for 3d shape , if is possible for your shot .
