Hello! 
My TOY entry will be about a temple. I will need some dust in the air, and light is going to come in from the windows.
Is it any way to do that in-camera?
I want it to look kinda like this:
(photoshopped)
find a substance that will create a dust and shower it on the set, then you should get that effect. Try flour.
Thanks for answering
Do you think it is some other ways to do it?
I could do it in post production it that is the only alternative.
Post production isn't ideal, as it would require much time and hard work to make it seem realistic.
Will it be animatable?
Perhaps a light reading on a related issue will clear things up.
If you take too long to animate between frame capturing, the flour will settle before you have enough shots taken. You're better of adding rays in post.
In my opinion your best bet is post-production unless you find something animatable. Flour moves around almost to much and makes your footage look like individual frames.
I found out how to make light rays in Sony Vegas, without smoke.
I used a built-in light rays effect.
Can you post a pic here so I can see it?
Nice.
Looks like the effect affected the skeleton, too. Does Vegas have layer options and blending modes?
