Synopsis

transferShadingSets([sampleSpace=uint], [searchMethod=uint])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

transferShadingSets is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Command to transfer shading set assignments between meshes. The last mesh in the list receives the shading assignments from the other meshes.

Return value

None

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

sampleSpace(spa) uint createqueryedit
Selects which space the attribute transfer is performed in. 0 is world space, 1 is model space. The default is world space.
searchMethod(sm) uint createqueryedit
Specifies which search method to use when correlating points. 0 is closest along normal, 3 is closest to point. The default is closest to point.
