Is it possible to have the particle set up in sandbox emitting from the animated mesh, in this case a plane weighted to the hand bone? Currently it’s from the rest pose position not the animated position. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/b/b/bb9a5e37a74fec6052793cff9d2d5b9aa5f13cc6.jpeg) ---

Welcome aboard! It seems you need to create a mesh that you attach to the bone you want to follow and then parent the particle system to this mesh: > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#11BH6Z%23946)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes ---

You’re right, parenting the mesh directly to the bone instead of weighting worked. Thank you.
