Particle replicate and connect/attract

[plazadelmar]

I would like to create an emitter sphere that emits or replicates new spheres. Each time a new sphere is replicated the sphere is automatically connected to its neighbor. If I add a motion to this all spheres will move organically while they are connected to each other.

Here you have an simple example, where particles connect after time.

Thank you for sharing. I had something more like this in mind. These ones connect with pop attractor but I would like to replicate them and connect to each other not only to a center but more wherever they are born. I guess this would require measuring distance to the closest point or geo etc More sophisticated setup.

i would say, you can do that witrh my setup. take a look inside sop solver

Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish to say I understand everything but I cant, this is a perfect file to study on and trying to get closer to this effect in this video at 23 sec, replicating the objects and pushing them away. Im wortndering if its a combination of your setup and RBD.
