Hi Nathan,

I'm not able to replicate this bug on my end. Can you tell me what version of Houdini you're using? Is the scene you're working on an upgrade from a much older build of MOPs Plus? I'm testing in both 18.0 and 18.5 and have no trouble modifying string attributes.

That bug's a new one! I'll check it out.

You mentioned the reordering in a past thread... I'm working on something, it's just taking a while to beat Qt into submission.

There's no guaranteed way to update a node to a more recent version. In general, if I make a change to a node that isn't backwards compatible, I'll version up the HDA so that older files will still work as they did. You can use the Asset Bar (you can enable this from the assets window) to switch bet...

Hi Lu, You don't need to unpack geometry for Redshift to be able to access it in materials. The RS Curvature node is scale-dependent, so at the default scale of the letters generated by MOPs+ Typography, you might want to try using a Radius of 0.02 as a starting point. You should be able to clearly ...

Looks like this was a bug or omission from a previous update... I've just added an Enable Falloff parameter to the Spring Modifier. The update is in the `henry_dev` branch on GitHub... if you switch to that branch and download the latest zip, it will have this new change. I'll fold this into the nex...

This is a bug caused by Houdini having multiple active network viewers. If you revert to one of the standard Houdini layouts, activation should work as normal. I'll patch this out eventually, it's just not always easy to tell which network viewer is the "right" one to create the activator in.

This is a tricky one, because the original mesh is deforming so there's going to sometimes be gaps no matter what because the exploded primitives are effectively "rigid" and can't be deformed, only transformed. Additionally, areas where the mesh nearly collides (elbows and other tight intersections)...

Hey Geoff, Part of the issue here is determining which way is the "right" orientation on a soccer ball. If you were to run Polyframe or MOPs Orient Mesh on the source geometry before you add those points, and you visualize the up vectors, you can see that it's hard to really know for sure what the u...

Hello, The reason your expression doesn't work is because you can't accumulate a value (+=1) in SOPs without there being some kind of solver involved. It looks to me like you want the tree sequences to "activate" upon the falloff value being greater than zero? I'm attaching a HIP file that shows how...

I responded to your email, but for anyone else watching this thread, the extrusion groups in MOPs Typography work fine, but the groups are packed along with the geometry. If you want to use the groups, you either need to unpack, or target the groups using Material Stylesheets.
