This week I spent some time working on my emitter's velocity and having that angular shape just like the reference since my first iteration was facing upwards.
I increased the number of particles for my dense sand layer and sourced higher velocities only for the dusty sand layer.
I redid the lighting of my scene as well as the sand layer. I plan to do a proper environment pass in the coming weeks and really dive into compositing for the last week or two.
Here is my WIP for week 8!
This is the contact sheet for this week as well.
