pymel.core.context.art3dPaintCtx¶

art3dPaintCtx(*args, **kwargs)¶

This is a tool context command for 3d Paint tool. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

# Create a new 3d paint context, then switch to it
pm.art3dPaintCtx('art3dPaintCtx1')
# Result: u'art3dPaintCtx1' #
pm.setToolTo('art3dPaintCtx1')

# Set art3dPaintCtx1's radius to 2.0, lowerradius to 0.5
pm.art3dPaintCtx('art3dPaintCtx1', edit=True, r=2.0, lr=0.5)
