MOPs Forums

I haven't worked much with Megascans assets so I'd just need to know a few more details about how you're handling the instancing. How are you importing the FBX data? Are you importing the file to /obj first and then merging it into SOPs, or are you doing it some other way? Where is the material assi...

Okay, just reviewed it again in your scene. It seems like it's working as expected. You want to be at the OBJ level when you activate the tool. Hit the shelf button, select the object network that contains the MOPs packed primitives that you want to convert to point instances, then hit Enter. You sh...

Seems like something's not working quite right here... I'm taking a look at it now.

I haven't run Houdini Indie via Steam before, so I'm not sure exactly where it assumes the preferences directory is supposed to be. It may be different with the Steam install than the usual /documents/houdini18.x directory that's used for a typical installation. To find out where Houdini on Steam is...

Hi Andre, The issue here is that you are computing an orientation on the curve (via either the built-in orient options on MOPs Move Along Spline, or the MOPs Orient Curve SOP), but the curve is changing every frame! The transform option on the Labs Spiral is actually deforming the curve, and so the ...

Okay, I think this is an issue with the "Radial Wipe" falloff type. It's getting confused about what's inside or outside the fan, based on the way the ranges are being animated. I need to spend some time figuring out if this is a bug on my end, or just a problem with the way you're animating those c...

Okay, I just saw that you have a file attachment. Sorry I missed that the first time. There's a lot of custom tools in your file that I don't have, so it's a bit tricky for me to know for sure what you're seeing. I substituted some generic pig heads for the geometry you were connecting to that Insta...

It's a bit difficult to tell what's going on just from your description and screenshots. If you can post a reproduction of the problem as a .HIP file, or email it to me personally (henry@motionoperators.com) if it's not public, I'd have an easier time diagnosing it. My guess is that you're merging m...

Hi Doug, MOPs definitely works on any platform that runs Houdini, so don't worry there. You want that first "MOPS" definition to point to the exact path on disk where you unpacked the MOPs files... so the folder that contains "otls", "scripts", and so on. The "path" variable below you can leave at t...

Hi Claire! You want to point to the path that you installed MOPs to... the root path of MOPs, where the "otls" and "scripts" folders are. Ideally this path should be somewhere outside of the /documents/houdini18.0/ folder. Then once you've edited and saved the JSON file, copy it to /documents/houdin...
