Vertex based animations in Unity

Hi,

In your forum I read on an old post (2009) that Unity3D will support vertex animations soon, so hopefully 2 years later t$$anonymous$$s feature is now implemented.

So my qustion is :

How could I import vertex based animations from maya and use it in Unity?

If Unity still does not support vertex based animations - is there any t$$anonymous$$rd party solution out there - even if its not cheap?

thank you in advance.
