Been searching around for a example on point instancing. See stuff on procedural material. Basically I've got 5 nice pyro puffs. I want a pop to drive the birth frame to run the bgeo sequences.

The pop I think needs a birth atter, then a string ? lookup to run the sequence. Can't figure out the context to do.I've seen this done a few time, but can't remember :cry:

Thanks for the help.

just create instancefile string attribute on your points containing path to the geo you want to render
so you can randomize the offset for the sequences there
then render with fast instancing on

Sweet! Thanks. I didn't find that in the docs. Are there other undocumented variables?

not really undocummented, maybe well hidden under Point Instance Procedural as Fast point instancing is using it under the hood
