Name exported particles based on input objects name - SeanRedmond - 01-08-2024
Hey,
I'm trying to find a way to export particles from a birth objects operator with the exact same name as their input objects. I couldn't find any information on if we can use input tokens to dynamically rename objects in the exported object name (prefix) box. The export layer default is $(activelayer) so I would assume there are other input tokens I can use. If not, any other workaround would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks!

Particles don't track the name of their source object - in fact they might not even have a source object.
You could assign them an ID or something and then use a post-export script to match IDs to names or something like that, but that would need to be done manually.
