Programatically driven particles

Question

Hi all

I want to use Unity's particle system but in a very specific, mathematically controlled way.

Is it possible to completely disable any velocity, lifespan, etc functionality and instead set the transform data via code?

Thanks, Ves

By following the answer I've been able to make a programmer-friendly pointcloud component.

So far I'm disappointed with the performance (my Unity runs around 3000fps when filled with static geometry) but I'm hoping I've just missed some optimization somewhere.
