Re: Combining falloffs

There is a MOPs Combine Falloffs SOP with several included blend modes that should do exactly what you need.

Every Falloff node actually has one of these internally. If you chain two Falloff nodes you can just set the blend mode on the second one to combine them.

Re: mops_Set_Sequence_Time

Are you able to post the hip file in question? It's hard to diagnose the problem from just a screenshot.

If you can't zip and attach it here publicly, you can email it to me personally: henry@motionoperators.com

Re: Scatter polygons on a terrain using the MOPs Instancer node

Here's your file back. This is what I had in mind when I was telling you to try instancing clumps of grass rather than individual blades. I animated the clumps using procedural noise instead of Vellum, then cached the animation to disk and instanced them on the heightfield as a Packed Disk Sequence....

Re: Scatter polygons on a terrain using the MOPs Instancer node

This scene file doesn't include any attempt at instancing or copying to points, so I'm just guessing at what you're going for exactly. My advice would be to simulate a clump of grass rather than a single blade, and then cache that simulation to disk via Alembic output. You'd then load that Alembic f...

Re: Installing MOP

Please email me at henry@motionoperators.com so we can schedule a video call. I'm going to need to look at your system live so that I can figure out why the directory isn't updating.

Re: Installing MOP

Now that's interesting! See how it's adding "C:/Users/Henry/Projects/VFX/MOPS" to your HOUDINI_PATH? That means that the package file you saved isn't the one being read. Did you happen to copy that original package file anywhere else on your drive? Maybe somewhere in the Houdini installation directo...

Re: Installing MOP

The command is just to see what value is returned. I'm trying to make sure that the MOPs directory is actually being added to your HOUDINI_PATH. You don't need to restart... just hit enter after entering each of those commands, and show me what comes back.

Re: Installing MOP

Okay. From within Houdini, go to the Python shell (ALT+SHIFT+P) and enter the following, one at a time: import os print(os.getenv("HOUDINI_PATH")) Then show me the result of this command. Alternatively, if you'd like me to help you via video chat, please email me at henry@motionoperators.com and I'l...

Re: Installing MOP

Weird. Can you please try temporarily removing your houdini.env file and see if MOPs loads correctly?
