Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

bake boneAnimation to skin?

is it possible to bake the animation of a character directly into the skin itself so I have a vertex animation as a result? and if yes, which export plugin would support this?

I´d need a collada or x-file in the end. I could also use 3dsmax in case it offeres more options on this issue.
everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.

Yes it is possible as it will make the whole scene lighter for rendering. I dont think you need a plugin though Im sure you can do it thru Maya.
