I have been struggling with getting this model to transfer over to a game engine with its animation. When I export the file as .fbx and upload it to either unity or unreal the surface deform cage I have connected to my mesh to control the animation looks like it gets twisted and turned inside out.
I was learning form a video online and was attempting to recreate this rig here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2F3OO6Jd5Y&t=1179s
Basically, its a single arm rig with a line of vertex and edges outlining the top edge of the jelly. Then connect the line to the rig to be animated with a screw modifier to encircle the rest of the mesh. After that connect the mesh to the now created cage with the mesh deform (in this case I used surface deform because mesh deform was not deforming). Then animated onto the rig.
Here are some screen shots of what I have in blender And when I transfer the files(Unreal 5 example but the same happens in Unity).
Thank you for any help in advance I hope I explained that clearly I'm kind of sick.
