Ok just curious if there is a way to bake vertices for export in general.

Ie you do a animation with cloth for example and want to export
the animated geometry ... not the textures .
I am interested in exporting to c4d but if anyone has links on
how mabye to export to a game engine or other 3d apps I would enjoy the read.

Hope that makes sense.

Yes you can, I don't have any links to give you though I'm afraid.

Edit > Bake Simulation

That can bake just about anything! There are all sorts of options to bake to the vertices etc.

Thanks joz got it :thumbsup:

So does anyone think poly trans is the best option for exporting animated vertices?

I remember someone mentioning you could export a .obj sequence.
[edit] i will probably just composite it if i cant find a easy export
option.
