Blender- cannot get point cloud to procure wisps off of mesh for ghost
node
So I am trying to create a cool ghost pony with a particle system with a wind force and vortex behind it that blows upon the pony. I limited the particles life span to end just past to the pony so that it looks like there are cool wisps coming off of it. As one can see, I am using the point cloud node the way that it should be in order to gain such an effect as I would believe. Here is a screen shot attached.You can also see the current render and the file that I attached. I am trying to animate a cool ghost, but this does not seem to be working as I thought it should. There should be wisps coming off of the mesh and there are not. Can anyone tell me how I can achieve this?

3. Upload your image to the web host somewhere, like Imgur etc. Copy the full URL of the image. This URL must start with http: and end with the image extension, .jpg or .gif or .png (we recommend jpg). For example: http://i.imgur.com/qobP07W.jpg You can usually get this URL by right-clicking on a web image and choosing "Copy Image Address" or similar, each web browser is slightly different. Then edit your Polycount post, click on the Insert Image button (landscape icon
So I figured it out. All I had to do was turn my pony into the emitter and then select it and add quick effect smoke to the mesh and use the particle system as the smoke flow. Then bake all of the dynamics.
