MOPs Documentation
Each MOPs node has a built-in help card that you can access through the “?” button on the Parameters pane, the same as any other Houdini node. These help cards will provide the most detailed information regarding the individual nodes and their parameters.
The MOPs Wiki
The MOPs Wiki provides the best overview of what each MOPs node does, as well as a written introduction to how MOPs works.
The MOPs Tutorial Series in the MOPs Wiki is the best place to get in-depth information on MOPs as a whole. It’s highly recommended that you start there once you get MOPs installed. Animations and example files are included!
Example Files
The MOPs download contains a directory called “examples”, which has a bunch of HIP files you can take apart to see how MOPs works. New files are being added on a regular basis to show off different tips and tricks. HIP files are often the best way to learn new things in Houdini, so be sure to take a look!
MOPs Discord Server
MOPs has a dedicated and active Discord server! Get help from the community and chat with other users in real time here: MOPs Discord Server
Video Tutorials
A free and comprehensive video tutorial series on MOPs is available courtesy of Houdini School. Check all three videos here:
At Houdini HIVE Worldwide in 2020, Henry/Toadstorm goes into detail on some MOPs setups that can help show you how it can be used in production. The example files from this presentation are included in the /examples folder of MOPs as of v1.1.14.
