Long name (short name) [argument types] Properties

-shapeMode (-sm) string

This flag controls how Artisan correlates the paintable node to a corresponding shape node. It is used for attributes of type multi of multi, where the first multi dimension corresponds to the shape index (i.e. cluster nodes). At present, only one value of this flag is supported: "deformer". By default this flag is an empty string, which means that there is a direct indexing (no special mapping required) of the attribute with respect to vertices on the shape.

-altAttribute (-aa) string

Define an alternate attribute which will also receive the same values. There can be multiple such flags.

-uiName (-ui) string

UI name. Default is the attribute name.

-attrType (-at) string

Paintable attribute type. Supported types: intArray, doubleArray, vectorArray, multiInteger, multiFloat, multiDouble, multiVector.

-remove (-rm)

Make the attribute not paintable any more.

-clearAll (-ca)

Removes all paintable attribute definitions.

-activate (-ac) boolean

Activate / deactivate the given paintable attribute. Used to filter out some nodes in the attribute paint tool.

-activateAll (-aca) boolean

Activate / deactivate all the registered paintable attributes. Used to filter out some nodes in the attribute paint tool.
