how to store texmap intensity as custom float - usc001 - 04-11-2025 Hello,  i think my previous post was poorly worded (in case you read it) so this is me trying again...  i struggle to understand, how to store a particles colorvalue (texmap intensity/luminance) into a customfloat.  I want to use it for the intensity of v-ray lights that i export from tyflow.  So how do i store the color value into a customFloat? i was trying with propertyTest and "test action" "increment custom float" but i think that only returns true or false, right?  how do i store the grey value as a float? sorry if im overseeing something simple again...  PS: i attached my test scene where i tried what i describe above.  in this case, some operator needs to read the resulting color value for each particle, no?  i dont understand which operator could read, clamp and store the current color value from a certain map/material.
