Greetings.  I have a rather nice interior of a building that I've been
working on for a long while.  Well, I decided it might be nice to have
dust motes floating in the air.  So I experimented with atmospheric media.

Sadly, the media only ever produced a white haze throughout the scene.

Any suggestions on how to get the effect I want?

You need to use the Density statement within the media. By applying a density map, the
media
will only show up where you want it to i.e. the dust motes. The space around the dust
motes
will be transparent.
