Attach objects to vertices

[kim-ranzani]

Hi there,

is it possible to create some locators on selected vertices of a model and link the position so that if the model is moving the locators stay attached to the vertices? thanks in advance

I know this method in Dynamics:

1) select the vertices

2) partices -> Emit from vertices (options: Emitter type: Surface)

3) delete particle

4) create a locator

5) parent it under emitter node (just drag to below it in outliner)

In Maya 2011 onwards, i think pointOnPolyConstraint ll work. dont knw much bout it.
