god i want that

i know @toadstorm did a deep dive into the font sop for mops, i think the high level summary was ‘its really fucky’

well, did some digging

“`python fonts = hou.hscript(“opmenu -l -a /obj/geo1/font1 file”) fonts = [x.strip().strip(‘”‘) for x in fonts[0].split(‘\n’)] p = hou.parm(‘/obj/geo1/font1/file’) p.set(fonts[23]) “`

that’ll get a thing you can at least futz with in the python command line

i was gonna get the [23] to be [@Frame] in a python sop or something, but i gotta go make dinner. 🙂

i do have one more idea 1 sec

“`c vector p = prim(0, “P”, @primnum); vector dir = normalize(v@P – p); float theta = atan2(dir.y, dir.x); @uv = set(cos(theta), sin(theta)); v@uv.x /= abs(v@uv.x) * 2; v@uv.y /= abs(v@uv.y) * 2; v@uv += .5; “`

in a vertex wrangle

😮

here I’m calling the vex source from the `noise` wrangle – and it’ll run that vex snippet on the vop

so I can just change the `noise` wrangle and every other vop that points to it will also pull the change

the vop also has other modes like the script mode if you’re interested – so if you have a CVEX snippet on disk, you can point to that <:chef:730208016174940172>

here’s that file – you can do the same thing with vex > vop, vop > vop

was curious to see if the loop idea was just something I pulled out of my ass — and its not! lol

here’s the same applied in a loop and driven with a multiparm – @flight404

you can probably also add a switch and promote it as a toggle

and use the to enable/disable conditions
