This is my first post here and I'm pretty new to houdini. I was able to put this together to get the motion I was looking for. But it has some problems like wonky lines and lines not connecting together. Before I try and tackle those problems I was wondering if anybody knows a better way of getting to this result. Mine is pretty slow for what it is. Probably because I'm using a growth solver with 50 substeps…

I feel like the carver sop is the way to go but I can't figure out a way for it to grow like this.

Any help or direction is much appreciated!

This might give you some pointers:

I always forget about that site. I rebuilt it based off his file and got it working! Thanks!
