Re: Why can't Houdini open the hip file of github?

That's certainly a possibility, but unfortunately I can't help you with that. You could always try installing an Apprentice / non-commercial license and see if that works better for you.

Re: MOPS+ Shelf Tool Deleted

You can't "delete" a shelf by closing it... you just need to add it back to your list of active shelves from the "+" button on the right of the shelf panel. Regarding the errors you're seeing, my guess is that you're using a Python 2 version of MOPs Plus with a Python 3 version of Houdini, or vice v...

Re: Why can't Houdini open the hip file of github?

Hahaha, honest mistake. That .hip file header error still seems strange, though-- if you didn't have MOPs installed, what should happen is the file will tell you that there are missing definitions, not that the header itself is not found. Try downloading the .hip files using that button I showed you...

How are you downloading these files? If you click on the links, you should be taken to a page with a "Download" button. It looks like the attached image below.

Re: Why can't Houdini open the hip file of github?

I just tested the download and it works fine. Maybe your download got interrupted or corrupted somehow? Try getting the file again.

Re: Radial Explosion

Try this file out. MOPs Reorient is generally how you'd set this up if you wanted to use a shape to determine the "forward" or Z direction of packed points as you move them. You could also probably get something similar using metaballs and the Magnet SOP, or other deformers.

The example files mentioned in the MOPs DOPs tutorial on the wiki are all included in the download of MOPs Plus. Check the /examples/ folder in the MOPs Plus installation path.

Re: MOPs_Apply Attributes - How to use it?

That's great! I've definitely been trying to emphasize the VFX uses of MOPs lately. I'd love to see the final project whenever you can share it.

Re: MOPs_Apply Attributes - How to use it?

On unpacked geometry, MOPs Apply Attributes works a little like a blend shape. It'll linearly interpolate template point attributes like P, orient, and scale, depending on the value of the falloff attribute. If you're getting unexpected results, make sure that your points all have a unique id attrib...
