Hey guys,

I'm still farily new to Houdini.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how I would accomplish a large cluster of balloons that are attached to strings which all meet at a single point. They would have a wind force and would bounce around and interact with one another.

I've found a few forum conversations about similar setups online, but nothing that has really helped me understand a strategy.

I've included a mockup image to show what end result I'm going for.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Here is a modification to what I found here:

For true interaction you may have to approach this as RBD, FEM or grains.
