Inverted Attractors

A classic exercise from my Grasshopper times, thought I'd give it a go inside Houdini. It allows us to affect the hex grid with either placing anchor points manually or randomising their position. These attractors influence the elements' height and thickness, based on a falloff algorithm using Vex. Its procedural nature allows for some interesting and pretty much endless outcomes.
