Tonight (1/29, 6pm ET) I'm going to get back into regular MOPs Monday streams. From a suggestion on the Discord, we'll be playing with creating an Audio Visualizer, and maybe getting that to drive a simulation of some kind. houdinihangout.com for stream info

Here's an early prototype of a font selector for MOPs Typography...

Here's a blog post about simulations in #houdini and why they don't quite behave the same way as the SOP context we all know and love. Hope it helps! toadstorm.com/blog/?p=1046

We've been awkwardly silent for the past months. One of the reasons being a master's program we created TH Nürnberg. So if you want to have Manu & Mo as professors, work on generative stuff and AI & want to benefit from Germany's low university fees... design-digital-futures.de

Working on some new features for MOPs+ Rig Spring. This propagates spring forces down joint chains with a delay, allowing for some interesting natural secondary motion that solves quickly, even on very busy skeletons like this one!

A new Experimental release of MOPs is now available! This adds some improvements to Apply Attributes, fixes for MOPs Randomize, and some QoL improvements related to Falloffs and the Spring and Delay modifiers. Details on the release page: github.com/toadstorm/MOPS…

A new release of MOPs Plus is now available! This adds MOPs Rig Delay, propagation options to MOPs Rig Spring for better secondary motion, and some improvements to MOPs Velocity Field and MOPs Apply Attributes DOP. Full changelog here: motionoperators.com/changelog/
