@motionoperators Houdini isn't playing nice and has been asking to reactivate my MOPs+ license. I have reached the dreaded "too many activations" window, unfortunately. Any way to reset or get around this?

@HoudiniHangout That's a really old one back when Vellum was first released, and probably not the greatest way to go about that effect anymore now that we have a more developed toolset. You still might learn stuff about the guts of Vellum though! Or at least how to bash it into submission.

Someone sent this to me, and I thought it might of interest to anyone that wants to take what I did a bit further. Really cool tutorial from Henry of @motionoperators! toadstorm.com/blog/?p=652

Tonight (9/25 at 6pm ET), I'm going to play around a bit with the Minimal mode on the #Vellum Solver. I have some ideas, but bring your thoughts on what we could make as well. Hope to see you tonight! houdinihangout.com for more stream info #sidefx #houdini #motiondesign

The Houdini HIVE Horizon talks are now online, including my presentation on MOPs and UX in Houdini. Check them out here: #mops" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sidefx.com/houdini-hive/h…

Trying to solve an age-old Houdini problem here. Whenever it's done, I'll release the full toolkit for creating self-installing Houdini packages as open source software. Doing my best to keep making Houdini easier!

I'm going to be presenting at Houdini HIVE in Toronto next month! Hope to see some of you nerds there... sidefx.com/houdini-hive/h…

@Sekani__Solomon just do it sekani, you'd pick it up faster than most

For folks who have switched over to houdini, how long did it take for you to feel comfortable or competent with the software?

@scknows Any chance you can share your hip file with me so I can see what you're trying to do? henry@motionoperators.com

If I dont use curve toys everything works immediately but I really want to use the rollup feature and im lost at this point

What is the secret to getting Curve Toys to work with @motionoperators Instancer and Vellum because I cant get anything to work

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!

@flight404 this project is insane. how had i not seen this before?

We've been awkwardly silent for the past months. One of the reasons being a master's program we created @TH_Nuernberg. 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
