TyParticleSkin to Standard Skin? - timspanjer - 01-17-2021

Hey is there a way to convert the TyParticleSkin modifier to a standard max skin modifier? I was hoping to export a rigged FBX that is driven by the particle system. This is going into a game engine that doesn't support mesh caches so it needs to be bones and skin.

Thanks!

No, there's no way to do a conversion like that.

Thanks for getting back so quickly. I was able to find a workaround by exporting my particles as objects with a dummy reference. I then just manually skinning my mesh using the exported dummy objects as bones. So far the results seem to work well.
