Stick particles to geometry, then wipe away with turbulence

[adrencg]

Can I get a little help with an effect I'm trying to achieve? I have a deforming object that needs to be covered with particles, then have a null wipe them away into a turbulent ink effect.

I know how to make an ICE tree that generates a particle at every point, and I use "stick to location" to make them stick with the object deformation. But if I add a "turbulize particle velocity" node and hook a "modulate by null" into it, they will not come unstuck and fly away.

I have done this effect before, but only on static objects that have no deformation.

Here's a basic scene to try to set up the effect, so I can apply to the larger scene. Can anyone take a look, and hopefully make me understand what I'm doing wrong?

Have you tried using states? If not, perhaps first look at sample scene example.

I spent some time today to finally educate myself about states. Thanks.
