That's what I thought, but with Emission Type = Surface the points move around as the surface deforms (even with Time Varying off).
Emission Type = Point works ok.

what? boy you are going to feel embarrassed when you turn off 'time varying' in the emit properties.

of couse they stick to emit location in a modelling stick if you set them afterwards

    Hi, do any of you know of a way to generate a /stable /surface
    sample set from a geometry?

    What I'm trying to do is to have particles stick to a deforming
    surface but I want to avoid the use a simulation tree (for
    animation purposes). It should be a simple thing to do, but there
    doesn't seem to be any built in way to do it, at least none that
    I've found so far.

    I assumed that a sample set generated in the modelling stack would
    either stick to the deforming geo by itself, or that we could
    simply create an ice tree in the animation stack that would
    read/write the location back to the position. It's quite
    frustrating to see that something as "simple" as this needs a
    simulated tree.
