What is a MOP and where are the nodes?

In 19.5.569 and I don't see them.
I am trying to use ATTRITBUTE FROM PEICES Instancer technique from https://www.toadstorm.com/blog/?p=942 [www.toadstorm.com] and it just simply not working at all for me.
Thank you

Hi Dave,

That's my blog, and coincidentally I also am the creator of MOPs.

MOPs stands for "Motion Operators"... it's a collection of HDAs originally built to help motion designers. It has a lot of tools applicable to motion graphics as well as VFX and is used widely in both industries.

You can read more about MOPs and download it here: https://www.motionoperators.com [www.motionoperators.com]

That tutorial on my blog doesn't require you to use MOPs at all... it just mentions a number of places where it can make your life easier.

I am having problen with Instancer CopyPoints using Attribute from peices technique. Its not working for me. I beleive its for a simple reason. The technique description lacks context and content of individual nodes. Without desctiption as what settings are used in nodes, context is lacking, and result is error.

How do you install MOPs for 19.5.569? They seem to have maxed out at HOudini is 17.X.XXX .

The installation process hasn't changed since 17.5. MOPs nodes are compatible with 19.5. Installation instructions are available here [github.com].

If you want to use the Attribute from Pieces technique, you don't need to use the MOPs Instancer. You can just use Copy to Points. The example file included with the blog post you're referencing will show you how to use Attribute from Pieces.

The Instancer is there if you prefer using that workflow, but it's not as essential as it was before Houdini introduced the updated variants workflow. You can use MOPs nodes with or without the Instancer without issue.
