Maya - Export SoftMod animation?

Alex_J

I am trying to figure out if I can use softmods as part of animation process. For instance, to create a persons stomach moving in and out breathing, without adding extra bones. It seems like softmod is nice because i can add and subtract independent of the rig and weight painting, right?

I can't figure out how to export in a way that marmoset toolbag can read. I tried skin> bake deformation to skin weights but I don't think that is the correct thing to do and it's not giving me any different results.

I also tried edit > keys > bake simulation, again with no result.

I can't find any answer in the docs. Any help is appreciated.

Image is test I am using.

I guess you could use alembic to export out the animation, that way you don't need to worry about the weights. But that's assuming you're not gonna export to the Marmoset viewer
