Hi Eric

The Attribute Display Prop shows there are PointVelocity values in the
cache - they look as I would expect too mind you.

When I inspect the Inherit Emitter Velocity compound, the Get PointVelocity
node is supposed to get its value from the Particle Emit Location - so I am
guessing the cached PointVelocities are not transferred to the Particle
Emit Location... does that make sense?

I am in a bit over my head here though :/
