Re: grouping based of fall off

Sure, this is pretty straightforward. When you use the Unpack SOP, you have the option of transferring attributes from the packed points onto the points of the unpacked geometry. You can transfer the "mops_falloff" attribute that's already being used to modulate the effect of the curl noise, and use...

Re: My case with INSTANCER MOPs_1.3 and MOPs_1.2 Distribution Type Curve

Instancer 1.3 automatically tries to interpolate template point attributes on moving geometry. Since your geometry doesn't arrive at any sort of "rest" position until about frame 250, and it doesn't exist at all on frame 1, the Instancer has no idea what frame to use as a rest pose. I managed to get...

Re: Bug with Convert

I'm not getting a crash here on my end (18.0.356), though I am getting an error. I think it's due to the fact that you're starting with no geometry... there's nothing in that shape until about frame 280. You can set the "rest frame" on MOPs Convert to 280, which will help, although you'll still get ...

Re: How Extract Cd attribute in complex MOPS

I'm sorry, I don't entirely understand your question... If you're trying to get your Cd point attribute to affect your material's color in Redshift, what you'll want to do is use a Redshift User Data Color VOP in your material network to load the Cd attribute, then use that to drive the color proper...

Re: use_multiple_curves

Hey, sorry about the late reply... I've been a bit ill and haven't been able to get to my computer for a few days. I'm not entirely clear on what exactly it is that you're trying to set up here, but if I'm reading this correctly, you're having trouble getting your "CIRCLES1" to work as template geom...

Re: Not a bug, maybe a misspelling?

VEXpressions don't necessarily need to have their variables set to be the same name as the underlying parameter... it's more like a local variable whose default value is based on that parameter. If it's confusing I can probably rename it. You're not seeing any actual bugs with the behavior though, r...

READ THIS FIRST

The installation method for MOPs is much simpler now than when we first launched. You have two options for installation, depending on what Houdini version you're running and your own personal preferences. If you're running Houdini 17.5 or later, it's recommended that you use the "package" installati...
