OK, I'll have to recreate it since as I said, I lost the file :-( (I
THOUGHT I had it archived... but obviously not...)
I'll do you a little demo... and also if I get time I'll do a dust demo
(like and object disturbing some dusty air)

OK Ken, as was wanted, I have done a little demo for you. It's not very
good, I only spent 30 minutes on it (and I wasn't willing to rerender,
because I had a Math C assignment to do!!!).
Anyway, you can find it at:
http://members.xoom.com/lancebirch/drifting.mpg
It uses a simple emitting particle system. Each particle generates a
"media" cloud around it. I'm not really happy with the flow of it (it looks
almost bouncy...) and it's too thick, but anyway, have a look and tell me
what you think. If you want any more info on it I'll be happy to provide it
:)
BTW, when I get the time, I'll do some kind of object falling into a dusty
area so you can see my dust flow method...

Wow that's really good.
>If you want any more info on it I'll be happy to provide it
If you don't mind I'd like to see how this was done too.

Well, as I stated earlier it's done with MAX but I'll give you a run down of
how it was achieved...
First I made a simple particle emitter and made the particle size 0 (so it
wouldn't show up) and set the spray speeds pretty low and variance (the
degree of randomness in the spray direction) to about 10%. The emitter was
quite thin and very wide.
Next I placed an deflection plate under the emitter and set the bounciness
pretty low so when they hit it they wouldn't go all over the place :)
I then added a gravity spacewarp in the scene and set it's gravity to half
that of normal so that the mist would drift rather than fall. Then I bound
the gravity and deflector to the emitter so that they would affect it.
Next I attached the main part of it, the thing that makes it actually look
like mist! There is a very cool plugin for MAX that is totally free. It's
called FreePyro, named after it's bigger brother PyroCluster. Basically
what it does is get all the information from the particle system that it
can... what it does is builds "media" spheres around each particle and bases
the properties of the cloud on a whole number of difference parameters and
also the particles information such as rotation, age etc.
I simply added the system to the particle system, and then altered a few of
the settings to make it appear a little softer. Then I just let it render.
:)

This sounds (and looks) like it could be done with a randomized array of
blobs which have a halo or fog (media)

As I promised, I'd said that I would give you another example of FreePyro
particle media systems... So, here it is, some nifty flame fire stuff I made
last night... :-)
