export cloth simulation to vertex animated mesh? - redflash777 - 12-07-2021

Hello, 

is it ever possible to export cloth from tyflow to animated mesh (not allembic)? I tried to export to tycache, but it doesn't want to export animation to fbx Sad
Is there a legal way to export mesh with baked keyframes?

Thanks.

Does FBX even support raw deformations? I thought it only supports skin deformations....

What software are you trying to bring the cloth into?

I just wanted to have animated mesh with keyframes (like 3dsmax native cloth simulation can be converted to), because I wanted to manually remove some keyframes, and re-time some of them, before export to alembic. But I see now that it is too complicated, so probably I will give up on this.

You can use cloth itself for that.
Just make sure you disable all the gravity and make all vertices as preserved.
Simulate - convert to poly with keys - done Smile

I am not sure if Tyflow have that option.
