Baking Cloth Thickness with animation > FBX/Unity
I’m working on a gear VR project in Unity, and have been using an xpresso system to bake mograph animations into FBX files so I can trigger in Unity. It works fine, provided the animations aren’t insanely large.
For a particular animation I’m trying to solve, I want an icosahedron sphere to procedurally assemble with a random or plain effector, but with thickness, which it seems cloth surface is the best method to create the extrusions.
Is anyone aware of a way to bake this into an object or objects, and still use effectors to break it apart? Or maybe a better method of adding thickness? I’ve played about with explosion FX without much joy.

I just tried a basic test with the NitroBake plugin and it seems to work. It gives you separate objects for the original polygons and the cloth extrusion, but the animation holds together.

Aah, I don’t have that plugin but good to know thanks.
I figured out I could could disconnect/poly to objects, apply cloth then bake and then use fracture/effectors. But by disconnecting the polys to objects first I do get weird extrusions, looks cool when subdivided and useful for this segment, but maybe not good for others.
