I have such question. I made clothes & animated them in Marvelous designer, and then using Mesh cache modifier, opened this animation in Blender. And I would like to know, is it possible to turn the data from this modifier into keyframes?

$\begingroup$ Can you pls provide the .blend file? There is a way but I need the .blend file to actually understand the problem $\endgroup$– YS NirobCommented Sep 28, 2021 at 18:52

I assume that you have a softbody simulation and now you want to convert the simulation into keyframes.
If this fits then follow these steps
1.export your object as an alembic file
2.after the exportation is complete, open a new project and delete everything in the scene
3.Import the alembic file you just exported and hit play in the timeline. You will see the simulation running in your scene.
4.now select your object and add rigid body to it. Make the rigid body type "active" and animated(checkbox).
5.now with your object selected click on the object menu then rigid body and then click on "bake to keyframe". It might take some time depending on what you are baking
After the bake is complete you will have the cloth physics converted into keyframes. You can now also export it as a fbx file

$\begingroup$ No no, not softbody. I opened clothes animation from program "Marvelous designer" (file .pc2) with using modifier "Mesh cache". And I would like this animation to become keyframes, and not work from modifier. I tried to do how you said, but after baking, only the first frame is displayed. I've tried "Bake to keyframe" & "Bake action" but no result. $\endgroup$– JuliyaCommented Sep 29, 2021 at 15:12

$\begingroup$ can you provide the .blend file pls?I could do the work and record it and send it to you. $\endgroup$– YS NirobCommented Sep 29, 2021 at 17:23

$\begingroup$ I seem to have found solution for this situation. If export to mdd, then mesh will turn into keyframes with shapre keys. And thanks for taking the time & you trying to help. $\endgroup$– JuliyaCommented Sep 30, 2021 at 13:36

$\begingroup$ Your welcome. Glad that you found the solution $\endgroup$– YS NirobCommented Oct 2, 2021 at 6:52

$\begingroup$ @Juliya you mentioned you found solution. Can you explain how you obtained keyframes from cloth simulation file? $\endgroup$– jasanCommented Jun 10, 2022 at 3:43

You need to Bake Action on selected objects with Transform Cache
- Select objects with constraints (I'd filtered it manually with Outliner's search and Object Children filter unchecked).
- Rub Object > Animation > Bake action... operator.
- Select frames, and enable Clear Constraints checkbox and press OK.
