Hello, everyone! Please tell me, is there any way to synchronize the Point Cloud System animation with animation of the .glb model?

Hi there!

I know this doesn’t answer your original question, but if your goal is to animate a bunch of points as if it were rigged, maybe using a mesh with points cloud mode would be more efficient: [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#ISZ7Y2#109](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#ISZ7Y2#109)

Thank you, alexchuber! Good idea. Probably in many cases it would be possible to use this option.

if you need the positions of the vertices on an animated mesh:
