Hi creative-juice,

Here is a screen capture:

I hope that helps. I deleted the joints to showcase that they do not influence the mesh.
Both meshes are PLA animated and worked fine in 2023.

All the best

Hi creative-juice,

I'm glad that works for you.

My best wishes for your project

Hi creative-juice,

Use the Emitter as an Object in the Cloner.
(The scene has the Emitter stop at Frame 36)
CV4_2024_drs_24_MGpr_01.c4d

Start and let play the scene, then stop when it looks good.

Click on the Cloner, then:
Object Manager> Object> (Modify)> Current State to Object

Connecting and deleting could be another step.

Enjoy
