art3dPaintCtx(*args, **kwargs)

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

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# 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
