Hi,
I'm trying to reproduce the effect on the image bellow.
It's really easy in c4d but I can't figure out out to do in Houdini.
I tried to use FEM but my spheres merge with each others.
The second issue is to make my spheres follow the point I used to copy them (see the file).
Maybe it would be faster to use a relax nod to repel them from each others but I want them to look organic as well (like jelly).
I'ld really glad for any kind of informations.
Thanks
Charles

You can use a magnetic force with a metaball field to attract FEM objects to a point.

Thanks a lot Enivo !
I used your technic with the metaball, and I figured out how to use the copy sop.

I add the copy SOP at the beginning, before the tetrahedralize.
I uploaded the file above.
