Use a Mesh in vfx graph

Hi again !

So I'd like to use a cylinder, and slap a texture on it to create something like this :

I tried using the output particle mesh, but I must be missing something. I've done a cylinder in maya, exported a FBX and an obj to try both, but I don't see them when I click on the mesh input in the choices. I also can't drag and drop them in. Long story short, if it's simple, can anyone explain me the step by step I should do in order to make this scaling cylinder happen ?

 

Spawn one object (particle) in the effect, then adjust it's scale? Do you need an example graph? Did you get a mesh to appear at all?

 

I can't even put my cylinder as a mesh in the node. FBX or obj. is there a specific format I should use ?

 

You pick the mesh, not the imported Unity object.

See the image, with that blue grid mesh image:
