Hi!

I'm having a bit of a problem and I'm wondering if anyone here are able to help. I have a vertex/point animation and I want to crate particles from them and have them follow the movement of those points.
So far I have been able to spawn one particle from every point, but I can not make them follow the movement.
I saw in the tutorial from cmi vfx that used the position node with this expression “point (”../../XXXXXX“, $ID - 1, ”p“, 0)”, but it seems that the way the node works and the expressions in POP itself has changed..
Any suggestions are very welcome.

Yes new POPs in DOPs are different but kinda the same.

To drive the position of Points in DOPs you can use the POP Wrangle DOP and the vex point(“opobj/geo1/my_target_points”, “P”, @id) if your id's are matching up which you can do easily.

Have a look at the attached file.

I also added the correct POPs to birth trails of points from those SOP driven lead points as I suspect that is the next step, and yep it is also different with POPs in DOPs.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it.
I'm a new user so all relevant material I find is done in a slightly different way
I guess in the end its all for the better, but man is it confusing!
