You could use this to get the number of points in your pointcloud: http://www.hagbarth.net/nuke/GeoToPoints.nk just hit "get number of vertecies"
However you don't really need to know the number to emit the way you want. Just set the "emit_from" to "points" and "emit_order" to "uniformly" this will make it spawn 1 particle per vertex every frame. So you just animate the vertex emission rate for that one frame you need and you are good to go. On Sat, Nov 15, 2014 at 2:02 AM, Gary Jaeger <g...@corestudio.com> wrote: > Cool, I’ll try that.
