that's a great solution. thank you very much!

hi.
I'm trying to achieve a relatively simple effect: particles hit an object and transfer white color attribute to those hit areas. then the white areas expand in time until they cover the entire object.
I tried this setup which expands the white areas using a sop solver and points cloud - attached - but it doesn't seem to work when the objects transformations are animated. the growth doesn't progress in the direction of movement.
any ideas how I can improve this setup or what should I buiild differently?
I'm not a Houdini pro. any hints greatly appreciated.

thank you for your time.
best regards.

an update: I disabled hyper-threading and successfully ran few demanding sims.
I thought I had tried it before. either I was wrong or it didn't work in some combination.
anyway, not exactly a solution but a good work-around for now. dropped from 4.9 to 4.75 GHz on average.
I'll be running some more tests after the deadline.
