A nice videotutorial by ForeverBlender.com. Not photorealistic, but a good training for the use of particle systems.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

Excellent Tutorial Thanks!!!
If comped with some live footage, that would make a believable shot. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for the tut. Just a tip for you, you dont need to set material for the emitter (cube) just uncheck the >render>emitter from the particles menu and it just doesn't render it in the scene and doesnt cast unwanted shadows ;)
Thanks for the nice tip Mike :)
Thank you! It's very inspiring!
