My goal is to emit particles out of vertices on an animated mesh.
Below is the simulation graph I'm using, and is currently seated under pre-frame. It appears as though Realflow is not evaluating the position of the cube properly. When the particles are emitting, It is only emitting at the origin of the scene. I also found that the "vertex get channel" node is only outputting one value if I plug it in the message node.
It's possible that I'm missing a step, if so please let me know.
