How can I contribute?Īren’t you generous! There’s a few ways you can help out MOPs: If you’re using Houdini 17.5+, installation using the “packages” method couldn’t be easier… you don’t need to edit the environment at all. You could learn something new, or even better, find a better solution and submit a pull request on Github! How do I install MOPs? Do I have to edit some ENV file…?Ĭheck the README on Github for the most up-to-date installation instructions. If you’re an intermediate or advanced user (nerd), you can of course open up the HDAs and peek around. As long as you’re comfortable manipulating those, you should be fine with MOPs. MOPs still largely relies on basic Houdini workflows like attributes and groups. Not if you’re a total beginner, but it will make transforming things much less painful. You can mix and match MOPs nodes anywhere inside your SOP networks. In most cases all you’d really need for stability is an “id” attribute on your points. With few exceptions, MOPs nodes will work on anything represented as points, whether they’re packed primitives, particles, or polygons.

MOPs operate on Houdini native packed primitives and geometry. Are MOPs a special kind of object in Houdini? Is MOPs a closed ecosystem?

The minimum Houdini version to run MOPs is 16.5, but you should consider using Houdini 17.0.489 at a minimum, to be able to preview Falloff in the viewport. It will work with any operating system or Houdini license. MOPs is entirely Houdini SOPs, VEX, and Python. Even if commercial versions are released later, the current core toolkit will stay open source. “Beam Fractals” provided by Cullen Hassel MOPs Is MOPs really free?
