It’s time for another open source MOPs update! It’s a small revision but there’s some fun stuff in here that ought to save you some time.
First of all, this build adds full compatibility for Houdini 21 / Qt6. There was really just one deprecated import PySide2 statement in the creation script for most MOPs tools that I was too lazy to remove entirely, and that’s out now.
Second, I’ve added a little quality-of-life upgrade to MOPs Set Sequence Time. When setting cycling modes or frame numbers for Alembic sequences, MOPs now automatically reads the start and end frames of your packed Alembics so you don’t need to define them yourself… just set a cycling mode if you want and you’re done.
Third, and possibly most fun, I’ve added a “Cycle” toggle to most Falloff nodes. Just enable “Cycle” and then animate the “Cycle Offset” parameter and you can quickly get all kinds of funky looping effects on your falloffs.
You can grab the new release on GitHub here.
MOPs Plus update
I also just uploaded a Qt6 hotfix for MOPs Plus, Python 3.11. This just fixes up some Qt-related code in MOPs Typography, MOPs Attribute Mapper, and MOPs Sequencer that changed between Qt5 and Qt6. You can grab the new release from your MOPs account’s Downloads page if you have a current subscription.
More new MOPs+ stuff is on the way… hoping to show a sneak peek soon.
Have fun!
