multiple attractor points!

I'm trying to make something like this below designed by Daniel Piker. I've started makeing "circle packing" but couldn't figured it out to get that point...

Could anyone help me making this please?

This is a force field rendering. Don't know how daniel did it but highly likely to involve kangaroo.

Normally solving the force field line involves soem sort of iteration. There is a component by [uto], that solves forcefields. (FlowL)

Obviously David Rutten has some field work in his pipeline for one of then next GH releases.

Hi Hannes,

Thank you for your reply. I see. I may have to use FlowL; it looks quite similar.

I did try some grasshopper to create similar image above but I couldn't figure out how to draw final lines.

I think the other way to do this is "circle packing" as Daniel explained it on his website (image attached below.) Looking at this image, I also did some and am still trying to understand what the next step is... I would appreciate if someone help me.
