I'm thinking through a way to use particle SRT data to drive many nulls (hundreds) used for an envelope. 

I have a few ideas.  I was hoping to get some feedback regarding which might be the best approach.
  • ICE Op that sets the kine for each null.
  • Scripted Op per null
  • script a particle plotter like Brad's old CG Soup script and store the data in an Animation Clip
  • attempt to envelope the geo to the particles directly (not sure how)
  • or some simple way that I'm being too blind to notice ;) 

Thanks in advance.

I would go about the "attempt to envelope the geo to the particles directly (not sure how)"

that shouldn't be too difficult 

cheers

Hey that wasn't so hard.  Thanks Vladimir. 
And thanks again to Brad for some great offline help.

Here's a jpg of the ice tree if anyone is interested.
