I'm very new to Houdini. I'm trying to do a particle simulation where particles first move around and then each go back to specific points, that will eventually define a static shape.

The simulation is working (sort of), but I'm getting many stray particles that continue to fly around. I understand that I can fix this by animating drag parameters etc., but I'm wondering if I'm missing something and the attractor pop could be doing what I want.

Also, if anybody has suggestions, or a better way that might help….

I've attached the file (hipnc)

Thanks
