Particles with animated shapes are not exported to objects - Andreas Jalsovec - 05-06-2019

Hello Tyson.

I am not sure if this should be called a bug - maybe it is just another feature request.

When exporting a PhysX tyflow to objects I encountered that animated shapes are not exported as expected. 
I used a geo-sphere as shape object and key-framed its scale only.

Is this the expected behavior or should this type of animation be transferred to the baked geometry?

Thank you!

Hi Andreas,

Not a bug...right now there's no way to transfer changing/animated topology to exported objects in a straight-forward manner like that. Eventually I may write a custom animated-shape loader for individual objects that supports such a feature.

Thank you for the quick reply Tyson.
Let´s see if there is a request for that type of loader - still, there might be more pressing tasks on your roadmap!
