Properties |
|
-accopacity(-aco)
|
boolean
|
  
|
|
Sets opacity accumulation on/off.
C: Default is false (Except for sculpt tool for which it is true by default).
Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
|
|
-autoSave(-as)
|
string
|
|
|
A MEL command to save the fluid state. Called
before an event which could overwrite unsaved values of
painted fluid properties. Such events include: changing
current time, changing the current paintable property, and
exiting the paint tool. (To turn auto-save off, pass in
an empty-valued string argument: e.g., "".)
|
|
-brushalignment(-bra)

boolean
|
|
|
Specifies the path brush alignemnt. If true,
the brush will align to stroke path, otherwise it will
align to up vector.
C: Default is true. Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
|
|
-brushfeedback(-brf)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Specifies if the brush additional feedback should
be drawn.

|
|
Floods all cvs/vertices to the current value.
