Dropping a line 5 years later to say this is great!
To get it to work as a shelf button I had to amend one line
print "{} is animated".format(p.path())
to become
print( "{} is animated".format(p.path()))
Other than that all good and extremely helpful!

BMO is back, and he's brought Jake along for the ride!
Some secondary motion kinefx fun for the wings, bringing that into APEX and then constraining Jake and BMO to the geese.
Finding bendy arms still a little tricky with APEX atm but I'm sure it can be fixed.
Also learned a little cloud workflow stuff today.

BMO has some fun on a desk chair 
GSG for the chair.
A dops constraint network controls the desk chair rolling down the hill, along with rolly wheels and springy chair.
The chair is then used as a point deform on a rig to capture a skeleton and match the movement of a skeleton to the geo (so basically a reverse of a joint deform).
The anim is then injected into APEX so that BMO can be constrained to the chair - ideally I'd be able to aniamte extra stuff on top of this whole captured anim but I ran out of time!

Demon Cat is back!!! He's chasing down Fin and BMO for stealing his Emeralds!
A deep dive for today's one - rejigging the rigging of the Demon Cat from Day 6 - wiggling it through an APEX setup and then hand animating the run cycle. Additionally learning how to use TOPS to render from Solaris just to plop a sweet cherry on top.
GSG for Demon cat's skin, Day 9 Wood Bark for the stone tex.
*Edit finally attached a video correctly...

Finn found BMO in the cave! He scared off Demon cat and they found some magical glowing gem stones!
GSG for Finn's clay tex
Actually used Substance Painter on the chest :'( as my Cop Net didn't look so good in the end - you could say it was a COP out...
Edit: added HPaint screengrab - first time using this today, such an awesome free HDS to replciate Blender's Greasepencil, awesome for storyboarding!

BMO is still in the cave with Demon Cat, hopefully Finn will get down in time to save him,
in the meantime - here's a slice of wall from the Candy Kingdom.

BMO followed the trail of magical glowing flowers, they lead him to an underground bubblegum cave, the flowers growing out of the sticky, sweet goop.

Hi there, I've been trying to build a setup that introduces multiple particle meshes - in Houdini I have an attribute ramp made with some noise that outputs a value of 0 or 1 across the entire mesh and called it parmesh.
In UE4 I've followed the tutorials about custom attributes and have managed to hook up parmesh to the color channel as well as the size to confirm that it's being read and works. What I'd like to do though is use it to also control one of two meshes that are rendered.
I tried using a custom sort descending on both mesh renderers and then changed the bindings on both to be Particles.Houdini.parmesh as per the custom attribute setup.
Unfortunately, it's showing both particles in the same place - I'm wondering is this the right way I'm going about it and missed something or if there's another way I should be approaching this?
