Anyone have any starters on how to produce something like this in Houdini.

This article has some code you can translate:

The C code seems to create an image. You can recreate it in VEX on a 2d volume and then create a version that uses actual circle primitives.

Finally had some time to look at this over the past Thanksgiving Weekend. I'll try and post something on this soon regarding construction.
