How to make a dust cloud effect?

Dankbarer_c092c2db68

Hey, all.

I'm trying to set up a scene with a jeep moving across a desert, and I want to add a dust cloud effect behind it to give it the a better illusion of movement.  Any ideas?

If I was just doing a single scene like that and I didn't need it to be animated or anything, I would probably just do it post-prodution using GIMP and a smoke or steam shaped brush. I'd do something similar to add wheel tracks behind the jeep. If you want something inside the render, a product like Fuseling's Rigged and Morphing Atmosphere Props and Shaders or Sickleyield's SY Swift Steam Iray might fit the bill for you.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions.  I'll try out both methods and see what works best.  Thank you!
