Houdini Light Solver (Updated)
Hi there!
Remember my last setup?
HD: https://vimeo.com/435866619
I challenged myself to embed and optimize all those compiled nodes into the simplest way possible, so I did the same setup using only TWO attribute wranggle in detail mode inside a solver.
The setup runs faster and in a more efficient mode as well, since I'm not using attribute arrays but dynamic point clouds iterations.
Take a look how it works here:
Note: If you already purchased my old one, let me know and I'll send you this new setup for free.
### TO DO ###
______________________________________________________________________
[ SOLVED ON V002 ]
Root points are skipping the group of final_array of points, so on the next frame they're still looking and getting those points in the point cloud lookup. If I delete those points before doing the pc it'll screw up, since pc relies on the point number. Have to figure out a way to make a point cloud lookup operation on deleted points, but using some kind of id. Keep you posted on future versions.

[SOLVED ON V003]
Added initial 'or' condition to enter <ini> group; The point can be either active or belong to the root group
______________________________________________________________________
[ SOLVED ON V004 ]
Added 'keep root' option and deleted 'Skip used points'.

[SOLVED ON V005
If 'active' attribute isn't constant for the whole frame range, 'keep root' parameter must be off.
Solved by appending the previous frame final array to the pt_array only when we have no secondary forks.
