I'm moving an emitter quickly along a motion path and it gets pretty steppy.

I'm trying to mess with sub steps in the nucleus, but I don't think that is the write parameter? 

Want to force subframe evaluation, changing the playback speed obviously worrks, but would like to get the correct way to sample up since I'm using krakatoa to render.

Thanks in advance! 
Oliver :)

The particle emission is normally distributed across the emission path, however the forces applied by nucleus are done to the particles that are emitted for a frame, thus one may see stepping due to the effects of forces on emitted particles.

A general solution to this sort of thing is to cache with sub frame evaluations… thus in create nCache options something like: evaluateEvery = 0.1, saveEvery = 10.
