Hi there, is there any node or workflow that can be utilized to procedurally generate Pre-roll animation for simulation and other effects needs?

There's a few ways to go about this, but you could use CHOPs to analyze your point positions and extrapolate where the samples would be outside a selected time range. The Extend CHOP in Slope mode is the key. I'm attaching an example.

MOPs Plus also has a prefab node to handle this, MOPs Pre/Post Roll [github.com].
