Is there a way to add mesh, being modified during play mode, to particle component to emit particles from it?
Hello, I am trying to make something like a sandman- a human, that has sand for a body. For that purpose I would like to add particle system to drop sand particles around his body. But the problem is- my character has animations and I can only apply static default mesh for mesh shape. Is there a way to dynamically modify the mesh that I want particles to emit from?
Note: the only way of doing it that I can think of would be using a few particle systems and parenting them to the bones. But is that the only way?
Get Unity 5.3 to use skinned meshes.

Let me know if this helps ;)
Thank you, it helped;)
P.S. Sorry for a late responce:D
Unity 5.3 has skinned meshes now (versions before 5.3.3 has bug)
If you really want to modify it through script, you can do this:
public SkinnedMeshRenderer _skinedMesh;
Mesh _mesh;
void Start () {
_mesh = new Mesh ();
}
void Update () {
_skinedMesh.BakeMesh (_mesh);
// here you can get vertex points
Vector3[] vertices = _mesh.vertices;
}
But accessing vertices of a mesh is very slow. If you just want to emit particles, use Unity 5.3's feature is much faster.
