Hey,

I'm a game artist and i want to paint some textures for 3D models that are covered in dust. I'm not talking about the sort of dust you find in deserts, im more interested in the thick, grey, fluffy stuff you find on old books and disused shelves.

The only problem is, i'm finding it difficult to find references let alone techniques for painting it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction with either some tips or new places to look for references? (So far I've been unsuccessful with google image search, flickr and a bunch of texture sites).

Best I have is to actually just go grab a camera and take some pictures of an area in say your house that has a lot of dust.

Do you have a dryer? If you do you could go pull some out the lint return.
