## What it is
A Unity sample project demonstrating how to emit particles from animating characters using the VFX Graph's built-in skinned mesh sampling feature. It originally contained a custom package implementing mesh sampling before Unity added native support.

## Use cases
- emit particles from animated characters in Unity
- learn skinned mesh sampling with VFX Graph
- create character-based particle effects
- example of VFX Graph with HDRP or URP
- sample skinned meshes for GPU visual effects

## When to choose
- you're building Unity visual effects with animating characters
- you want a reference example of VFX Graph mesh sampling
- you use Unity 2021.2+ with HDRP/URP 12+

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library or package rather than a demo
- you're on an older Unity version without built-in skinned mesh sampling
- you don't use Unity or its VFX Graph

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, simulation, game-engine
- domain: graphics
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform
- tags: unity, vfx-graph, skinned-mesh, particle-effects, sample-project, game-development
