So, we're gonna look at a whole new layer of Houdini. This is the Motion Effects level, which is also traditionally known as CHOPS for channel operators. So, I'm gonna take our drop-down menu here over our network view, and I'm gonna change this to "ch". You can see over here, it says Motion Effects Networks, but here it says ch. Again because historically these are the channels, these are the CHOPS. But in the spirit of making things a little bit less arcane in terms of language, this stuff is called Motion Effects. So, this is the environment where we build procedural animation. Can also use it to do all sorts of other things. But this is what we're gonna focus on right now. So, the…
