mDust is a geometry node setup perfected by Mattias Lind that enables users to scatter realistic dust particles over surfaces. The setup contains a simple scatter method that focuses on the selected objects’ top-side normals, which is very useful for enhancing the detail of macro renders, architectural visualizations, and even fabric textures.

Mattias Lind – Mdust Features

• Realistic Dust Simulation: This feature presents complex renders with a layer of realism by simulating dust particles on different object surfaces.
• Customizable Controls: You can easily adjust the amount and size of your particle count, along with a random seed, to determine the level of dust spread.
• Selective Application: Only selected objects can be turned dusty using the “dustyObjects” collection.”
• Efficient Performance: The setup is optimized for efficient processing and enables the user to produce complex dust effects without affecting performance.
• Versatility: The setup works on various scenes and objects, from macro shots to architecture renderings.
• Scalability: The setup can work with comprehensive or more minor scales of applied dust.
