how would i "Bake" F curve modifiers?
So, apparently f-curve modifiers do not export to source engine, understandably.

however- i made an animation using them, not knowing this. How would i bake my f-curves into keyframes so that the smd contains the desired animation?

for example, if i make the animation use the noise modifier, the noise doesn't show up in game after compile.

even if i "bake" the curve; it still doesnt show.

so therefor, i need it to become actual keyframes somehow. how would i do this? thanks.

The animations will bake to a SMD file which, by default, Blender Source Tools exports this animation SMD to the anims folder of the export folder.

To add the animation smd to the model, you add a $sequence command to the QC calling that animation SMD ensuring that the FPS is set to the frame rate you made the animation in (if you want it to play at the same rate in SFM). Like this

$sequence "what you want the seq to be named" "anims\smdname.smd" FPS 24

You should see the animation smd in your exportables.

sorry, i should be clearer. i have exported animations and everything, and they work. i am asking specifically and only about how to make the actual f-curve modifiers work. like the noise one or whatever.
