FieldOutputBlock.CopyArrayContentFrom(self, src)¶

Copies from src array content.

Note

Size and flags are not affected by CopyArrayContentFrom().

The destination FieldOutputBlock must be big enough to accept the full content of src.

Parameters: src (c4d.modules.mograph.FieldOutputBlock) – The source FieldOutputBlock.
Return type: bool
Returns: True if successful, otherwise False.

FieldOutputBlock.ClearMemory(self, startIdx=0, count=GetCount, deactivatedOnly=False, deactivatedState=False)¶
