how export groups are working? - SiriVFX - 04-17-2019
i try to export particles in different groups, to apply different material after that.
but if i use global export(export node in a single event) it seems to export every visible particle.
thought i turn on export group A in display node and export node it would only export all A marked particles.
but the particle disappear when i select a a group in the display node.
if i put the node in an event it exports only the particle in that event.
and i also dont know what this overlapping/equal/not equal does.

You have to assign groups with a Particle Group operator. The group checkboxes in other operators then filter out particles based on your assignments.

but what effect or purpose has the tyActor Property than, where i can set export groups too.
same with export group at the display node.

If you assign tyActor properties to geometry, tyFlow will import those properties and assign them to the corresponding particles. In that case you wouldn't need a Particle Group operator.
