Artwork Works in Progress

I’m updating an animation I did a couple years ago that followed CG Masters “Dust in the Wind” video, linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzbuZTlMGPE&ab_channel=CGMasters

I’m now using 2.92.0 in Cycles. The issue is that now when the animation begins as soon as the dust particles hit the head at frame 4, the dust particles are also generating from the stomach of the figure, and I can’t understand why this is happening.

I have included the blender file as well.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

You somehow ended up with an instance of the emitter in the belly…

If you take and unselect Instance it will stop it from emitting…

oh wow, thank you! I also to took twitter to figure this out, and another blender user, Erindale, had suggested it was something wrong within the boolean. Turns out the boolean change also fixed it, but thank you for bringing this to my attention!
