Export for games - vertex animation. - kurt_hectic - 09-05-2023

Hello,

It seems, that alembic export is expensive, and no-go for games industry. The only option to export animations/simulations for games is to use/render to vertex animation, stored in the texture form. 

What do you think about it @tyflow? Is it possible to implement it?

Unreal already comes with a script for exporting Vertex Animated Textures from Max. This isn't really something that would need to be implemented in tyFlow...
