dust Clump using VDB

[ashu_tosh_m]

Any effective way to create this kind of dust.

I used Cloud noise but doesn't seem to look preety well.

any suggestion will be helpful.

Thanks

@ashu_tosh_m ..Points from volume to the -first input- of wrangle in -second- vdb from polygons (play inside with parameters)..TIP make meta-ball then convert meta....and for those structures in the middle you can use on the LABS skeleton 3d .
wrangle
 

vector v,gradient;
vector pos = @P;
int prim = addprim(0,"polyline",@ptnum);
vector up;

for(int i;i <@Frame*5;i++){

    up= snoise(pos*20*0.4);
    gradient = volumegradient(1,0,pos);
    v = cross(gradient,up);
    pos += v*@TimeInc;
    addvertex(0,prim,addpoint(0,pos));
    }
    
    
float @width = 0.005;  

Have Fun

Hey, Thanks For the Reply.

Just a small question,

i installed sideFx labs and when i connect skeleton 3d its doesn't seem to generate anything.

is there anything im missing?

It should work if you atach it to the geometry
