Does Unity support vertex level animation?

Unity Engine

Hi Gang,

I’ve set up a soft body simulation for a waving banner in maya. I’ve baked the simulation and simplified the keyframes. I’ve imported the model into Unity and set the import settings for the animation to be in root and specified the keyframes to be an idle animation clip. When I run the level, no animation.

Am I doing something wrong or does Unity not support vertex level animation yet?

Do I have to use bones to “fake” the waving banner look?

Thanks in advance for your help,

—Josh

At the moment Unity doesn’t support vertex animations… hopefully with the new work on the file import system this will show up in an update soon. It would solve a few of my robot animation problems too.
