glmEmitParticles [-populationTool string] [-replace string] [-append string]
Flags
| Long name (short name) | Argument types | Properties | Description |
| -populationTool (-pt) | string | multi-use | defines the source Population Tool from which Particle System properties are extracted |
| -replace (-rpl) | string | defines the Particle System replaced with the source Population Tool's Particle System. | |
| -append (-app) | string | defines the Particle System append to the source Population Tool's Particle System. |
Return Value
This command returns nothing
MEL Examples
// emit particles from a single populationTool in a particleSystem
glmEmitParticles -populationTool "myPopToolShape1" ;
// emit particles from several populationTools in a single particleSystem
glmEmitParticles -populationTool "myPopToolShape1" -populationTool "myPopToolShape2" -populationTool "myPopToolShape3";
// replace particleSystem "particleShape1" with populationTool "myPopToolShape1" particleSystem
glmEmitParticles -populationTool "myPopToolShape1" -replace "particleShape1" ;
// append particles to particleSystem "particleShape1" with a populationTool "myPopToolShape1" particleSystem particles
glmEmitParticles -populationTool "myPopToolShape1" -append"particleShape1" ;
