Is it possible to copy existing painted particles from container to another existing particle container?

Hi,

I guess. By creating a third container and fill it with the points from the other two.

This might help https://clarissewiki.com/4.0/sdk/manipulating_point_clouds.html

Thanks. There is no feature in the UI to move the particles from an existing container to another existing container correct?

Not move but merge yes in the Particle Shelf. There's a merge particles script.
EDIT: I meant Bake (you can bake multiple particles together => merge)

Thanks, got it. There is no way to replace the particles in an existing container though, correct? Trying to find some way to not have to re-connect the container and use an existing already "hooked up" particle container.

In the UI no, but with a script it's possible.

Hi Démian,

How does one access the point positions for a GeometryParticleContainer? Ideally, a function would return an array with the positions. Thanks!

item = ix.selection[0]
if item.get_module().is_geometry():
geo = item.get_module().get_geometry()
ptc = geo.get_point_cloud()

fails with AttributeError: 'SwigPyObject' object has no attribute 'get_point_cloud'

Hi,

It seems that some classes are missing in the Python bindings or auto-downcast is broken.
Please create a bug report.

Thanks,
