Very new to Houdini, coming from C4D. Say i have two spheres in my scene. I want one to be stationary and the other to be an organic mesh that is attracted to the stationary sphere.. So when i simulate the scene, the softbody sphere should fly over and stick to the stationary sphere.

I hate to ask what i feel like is such a noob question.. but I've looked around and all i can find on attraction has to do with particles.. nothing on how to attract one object to another. I'm probably overlooking something that's right in front of my face but..

how would i go about doing this?

Thanks!

Interesting you ask that just now.

M. Petteren just posted recently a video tut that probably will help.

It's not doing what you want, but I think it has the basis from which you can start from.

Wow, thanks. Looks like i have some learning to do. Wish there was a simpler way.

Maybe this one ;-)

Attached is a poor solution if you have non keyframe
