3DS Max - Remove Path constaint but keep positioning?

RashedAlmetrami · Jan 2019

Hey guys!

So I've created some tank treads by instancing a single mesh, which I've path constrained and moved along the path into the correct positioning. Now when I try and export this for texturing, the FBX fails to export the model.

Is there anyway to remove the path constraint completely and keep the positioning of the model, so I can manually tweak it further and export it for texturing?

Thanks in advance!

For anyone that might be having this issue in the future - After trying out endless amounts of scripts - This one worked for me.

No need for a script. Snapshot tool does a great job for this.

Snapshot to mesh

Snapshot works great, but if you want to keep the Path Constraint for editing simply do what the warning in your screenshot says. Check Bake Animation in the fbx exporter.
