Baking Animation to Skeletal?
I am curious if there is a way in max to bake morph/vertex animations into skeletal animations? Ive been searching via Google, and haven't turned up anything is this even possible? I have a Catapult to use in this game engine ive been working on but it only supports skeletal animations, I ran a reactor sim on it and baked… -

Link some helpers to the catapult via Attachment Constraints (or Script Controllers). Bake their trajectories and use them to drive bones...Skin you Catapult to the ones...might work for easy animations... -

Yeah, it really depends on the complexity of your animation. Would it be difficult to just make a new simple rig of bones and use the same Reactor sim setup to bake the animation to the bones instead of to the mesh? -

Awsome Vig, that was precisely what I was looking for, ended up using your cloth tutorial with helpers and constraints to generate the bone animation, Perfect. Thanks for the help -

i only know of scripts that will generate a bone PER vertex which is hugely inefficient !
