Things that need some love:

 

  • When the number of points gets low, the cubes start to move on angles; their movement should always be restricted to straight lines
  • I can't make the first frame be a clean rest state, it always has a few cubes shifted by a small amount. I'm sure its an easy fix, but I couldn't see it
  • Can you pass parameters to instance objects to be read by a material? I can colour the moving cubes if I use a copy, but couldn't work out a way with fast point instancing
  • Maybe tag a 'target' cube, so that all the cubes try and march themselves to a common goal

Anyway, hope it helps. :)
