Hi, I am working with some Hurricane data and I have 48 time steps, where each is 1 simulated hour. I am trying to visualize the wind flow around the eye of the storm. As of right now I have a single point cloud with a large radius that fits the dimensions of the data inside.

Is it possible to create a single point cloud that moves along a path? This way I can create a smaller radius point cloud and focus on just the data at the eye of the storm.
