Need some help converting a CopyStamp to the newer CopyToPoints+ForLoop method.
This is the tutorial I am following
https://vimeo.com/402969394 [vimeo.com]

And the attached shows the CopyToPoints node I need to update.
Really rusty with For Loops. Not getting the random variation as determined by the $F value in PointReplicate>Offset.
Spent a couple hours trying several options but so far no luck!

here are 2 methods

1. foreach loop:
- create @frame attribite from point number and use in timeshift inside of the loop

2. using copy variant
- create @frame attribute from point number
- and also reate library of clouds each with different @frame attribute
- use frame as variant in copy sop (choice of frame attribue name is arbitrary, can be any integer or string attrib)
