Particle instancing of dynamic object?
Hope someone could guide me in the right direction here.
For example, i have a scene with many tailed objects flying around. (tail is rigged using dynamic hair)
I would like to use particle instancing to instance the tailed object with the dynamic hair.
Would appreciate any suggestions or workaround to this!
Thanks!

the reason i would like to use particle instancing of the tailed object rigged with dynamic hair system,
is so i can have control over the animation of the particles, hence control over the bunch of tailed objects
(e.g a bunch of tailed kites flying in unison)
maya particle instancing only works with a static mesh, or a sequential mesh.
not a mesh rigged with dynamics?
tail object rigged with dynamic hair -> particle instance the tail = possible? or workarounds?
thanks in advance!
