@mp5gosu i am unsuccessfully trying code from documentation.

I’m the developer of Vertex Animation Tools for Unity, I can’t say that I'm new to tool development, but this API makes me feel stupid. I saw the Polygonyze function, but I don’t see its result. I'm really trying to understand the C4D API in reasonable term but I can't. Exporting the obj sequence from c4d is a trivial function that people have been looking for for years, and now I understand why.
Can Maxons engineers helps to write this script (finally)?

Now i am trying to Bake an object before export using Current State To Object but this test piece of code not do anything

res = utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,
                                list = [op],
                                mode = c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,
                                doc = doc)
    c4d.EventAdd()

@mikeudin
Polygonize not works for me.

By the way - I'm amazed at the responsiveness of your community.

Hello i am new here.
I am developing obj files sequence exporter .
Now it properly export regular objects such as moving cube itc but skinned meshes stuck in one pose over all frames.
I found not so elegant solution - Bake it as Alembic before export skinned mesh . Any options to export skinning meshes wihtout prebaking? Or how bake objects by script?

#1) SET TIMELINE START-END
#2) SELECT OBJECTS TO EXPORT
#3) EXECUTE SCRIPT
#4) SELECT FILENAME. FRAME NUMBER WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY ADDED TO .OBJ FILE NAMES
