I seem to have it working. See the screenshot for what I did. Here's what happens in the shot: I generated a bunch of points on a polygon and used a texture map to filter them. It's basically a satellite view of our state with the nighttime lights. The points of light then need to coagulate in the center of the state. It would end up looking like you just scattered them around a central point.
The tree is really slow right now. I think it might be the generate sample set that I'm using to get the points to start with.
