Hey guys,is there way to bake Maya procedural texture (checker or noise, etc) to vertex color?

Afaik you can't animate vertex color. What's the overall intention here, what are you trying to create that needs vertex color?

Idk about exporting the vertex colors, but you can bake the diffuse map with the procedural tex and then bake to the mesh once in Houdini.
