Just press on any of them and they would open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have these tabs there, don\u2019t worry. You can easily find them, same as any other windows, in the \u201cWindow &gt; Panes\u201d option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The default \u201cTimeline\u201d in Daz Studio is to say <strong>frankly<\/strong>, not the best. The <em>AniMate2<\/em>, on the other hand, is a much better tool in all ways. But by default you only have the <strong>Lite version<\/strong> of AniMate and need to buy the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/animate2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">full version<\/a> to use it. If you have the full version, then the Timeline tool would become <strong>obsolete<\/strong>. If you don\u2019t, then the best way is to use both AniMate Lite and Timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy Daz Studio Animation using Presets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, let&#8217;s look at the <em>AniMate Lite<\/em>. As it is arguably <strong>easier <\/strong>to understand and work with than Timeline. After you add any figure to your scene, you will see something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"492\" height=\"244\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-animation-animate-lite.png\" alt=\"daz animation animate lite selected in daz studio\" class=\"wp-image-1742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-animation-animate-lite.png 492w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-animation-animate-lite-300x149.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top you have all the time controls. You can start daz Studio animation, go to the start or end of the animation, loop it or select the specific frame that you want. Right above our character is a menu for controlling layers, but we don\u2019t have access to that in the Lite version. And at the bottom we have animation presets that we can choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s pay more attention to the last thing we mentioned, animation presets at the bottom. If you mouse over available animations you can see how your character is executing them <strong>in<\/strong> <strong>real time<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose any Daz3d animation that you like. Now click on it and drag it to the timeline above. So you would end up with this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"549\" height=\"242\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-adding-animation-to-genesis.png\" alt=\"daz3d adding animation to genesis figure\" class=\"wp-image-1744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-adding-animation-to-genesis.png 549w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-adding-animation-to-genesis-300x132.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations, now your <strong>character is animated<\/strong>. These cyan blocks are called aniblocks. You can press the play button and look how the figure moves. But it is just a one preset, not a full animation. Let\u2019s make something more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will now combine a couple of presets. AniMate tool is really great in <strong>combining animations<\/strong>. Let\u2019s make our character walk. If you click on the button on the bottom left of the AniMate interface, you will see a dropdown menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/walk-animation-daz-studio.png\" alt=\"selecting a walk animation in daz studio\" class=\"wp-image-1747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/walk-animation-daz-studio.png 716w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/walk-animation-daz-studio-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In this menu you have <strong>all <\/strong>of the<strong> available animations<\/strong> that you can use. We are interested in the \u201cWalks\u201d category. You can also find these presets in your \u201cSmart Content\u201d menu, in the \u201cAnimation\u201d section. They work absolutely the same<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"696\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-animation-inside-smart-content-pane.png\" alt=\"daz studio animations inside the smart content pange\" class=\"wp-image-1748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-animation-inside-smart-content-pane.png 537w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-animation-inside-smart-content-pane-231x300.png 231w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-animation-inside-smart-content-pane-300x389.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s try to combine the animations. Find and drag into the timeline the \u201cstart-(n)-g8f\u201d, \u201cforward_(1_cycle)-g8f\u201d and \u201cstop-(n)-g8f\u201d. Put them close together, you should end up with this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"664\" height=\"73\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-combined-animations.png\" alt=\"combining three animation presets\" class=\"wp-image-1794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-combined-animations.png 664w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-combined-animations-300x33.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t forget<\/strong> to right click on the white quadrangle just above your aniblocks and select \u201cAuto Adjust\u201d. If you don\u2019t do this, the length of your Daz3d animation will not be adjusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After doing this, you can press and watch your character perform all three animations one after another <strong>seamless<\/strong>. And you can experiment with this to make something more difficult, use turns or other animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1244\" height=\"119\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/advanced-preset-animation-in-daz-studio.png\" alt=\"advanced preset animation in daz studio\" class=\"wp-image-1795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/advanced-preset-animation-in-daz-studio.png 1244w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/advanced-preset-animation-in-daz-studio-300x29.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/advanced-preset-animation-in-daz-studio-768x73.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/advanced-preset-animation-in-daz-studio-850x81.png 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1244px) 100vw, 1244px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The default amount of the animation presets are quite low and not really diverse. But you can buy <strong>more <\/strong>on the daz3d <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/shop\" target=\"_blank\">store<\/a>. Mainly pay attention to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/animation-megapack-vol-4\" target=\"_blank\">Animation Megapacks <\/a>and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/posermocap\" target=\"_blank\">Posermocap<\/a> user, that has over 30 animation packs on different themes &#8211; but double check if your preferred genesis generation is supported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating Figure Animation Manually<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following will teach you how to animate a daz figure manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timeline interface<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We already showed you preset animations and how to find and use them. But these are pre-determined and what if there are no animations for your situation? Well, as we mentioned, you can try to find needed animation in the shop. Or, you can <strong>create <\/strong>your <strong>daz studio animation yourself<\/strong>. We will explain how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will work with the Timeline tool this time, so let\u2019s get to know it better. For now we will not change any settings, but you will <strong>need it in the future<\/strong>. Here is main interface of the Timeline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-animation-timeline-1280x403.jpg\" alt=\"daz3d animation timeline\" class=\"wp-image-1749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-animation-timeline-1280x403.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-animation-timeline-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-animation-timeline-768x242.jpg 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-animation-timeline-1536x484.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-animation-timeline-850x268.jpg 850w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-animation-timeline.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the left you can see all your available characters that you can animate[1]. A bit to the is the timeline itself, you can see all the frames there and keyframes. On the timeline [2] there is a yellow triangle that shows what frames it is on the scene now and black triangles are the keyframes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom left is for everything about frames. You can see and change how many frames in the animation, their range, current frame and frames per second [3]. At the center controls for playing animation. You can play animation, jump to keyframes, go to the end and start or loop animation [4]. And to the right is the controls for keyframes. You can add and delete keyframes with these buttons [5].&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Animation from Poses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we can create something. Firstly you need to add a character. Then choose any pose from the \u201cPoses\u201d section in the smart content. This will <strong>automatically <\/strong>create a keyframe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then change your current frame to somewhere later. The <strong>last frame<\/strong> would be good. You can do this by dragging the yellow triangle along the timeline, or by typing the number in the \u201cCurrent\u201d setting at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After doing that, just choose any other pose from the selection. <strong>Preferably <\/strong>something similar to the first one. This will create a keyframe at the current frame. You will end up with something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-figure-pose-animation-1-1280x693.png\" alt=\"daz3d figure pose animation\" class=\"wp-image-1751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-figure-pose-animation-1-1280x693.png 1280w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-figure-pose-animation-1-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-figure-pose-animation-1-768x416.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-figure-pose-animation-1-1536x832.png 1536w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-figure-pose-animation-1-850x460.png 850w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz3d-figure-pose-animation-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And now you can just press play and see how your character changes from one pose to another in <strong>smooth animation<\/strong>.<br><br>Now you can just experiment with this. For example double the total frame amount and add first pose again as the last keyframe. Your character will move from first pose to the second and then back to first. This will create a nice <strong>loop<\/strong>. Or add more different poses and test how they look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Animating by Transforming Character<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you now understand, adding poses &#8211; creates keyframes. But in reality, absolutely <strong>any transformation<\/strong> creates keyframes. So let\u2019s create some unique animation that can\u2019t be created with poses or presets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have ideas, the first good animation would be the character waving their hand. Place your character as you want it for the first frame. Then change the frame to later and thansform figure, so it will be different from the first frame. Thus, creating animation. <strong>Easy<\/strong>. Let\u2019s look at the ways how you can do this<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, and probably <strong>easiest to understand<\/strong> is the <em>ActivePose<\/em> tool. You can find it among other tools at the top of the interface<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"66\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/active-pose-tool-inside-daz-studio.jpg\" alt=\"active pose tool inside daz studio\" class=\"wp-image-1753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/active-pose-tool-inside-daz-studio.jpg 624w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/active-pose-tool-inside-daz-studio-300x32.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After selecting the tool, just click and drag any part of your character that you want to transform. It is easy to do and understand how it works. It moves the bone and each connected part, making animation look realistic. The problem with this way is that it is <strong>not very precise<\/strong> and sometimes it can be hard to do exactly what you have planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next way to transform a character would be the <em>Rotating <\/em>tool at the top right, when you have part of the figure selected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"134\" height=\"129\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-rotation-tool.png\" alt=\"daz rotation tool\" class=\"wp-image-1754\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So you select any part that you want to daz3d animate. And now can <strong>rotate <\/strong>only this part <strong>by moving sliders<\/strong>. This will twist this part, move it from side to side or bend it. Also you can make all three transforms at the same time if you click and drag the sphere in the middle of the tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Powerpose<\/em> tool is a very <strong>strong and useful instrument<\/strong>. You can open if you follow \u201cWindow&gt;Panes(Tabs)&gt;Powerpose\u201d. Interface looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"365\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-tool-powerpose.png\" alt=\"powerpose tool inside daz studio\" class=\"wp-image-1755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-tool-powerpose.png 365w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-tool-powerpose-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-tool-powerpose-300x386.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you can click on the circles and move the mouse to transform the corresponding parts of the character. Also you can change between body, hands and head templates. Daz3d Genesis 8 figures have their own, <strong>improved template sets<\/strong> that also include face template. We already wrote more about PowerPose for Genesis 8 figures in our other <a href=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/daz3d-genesis-8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last method of transforming that we are mentioning is the \u201c<em>Pose Controls<\/em>\u201d menu. You can find it under the \u201c<em>Parameters<\/em>\u201d when your character is selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"395\" height=\"353\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pose-controls-settings-in-daz.png\" alt=\"pose controls settings inside daz\" class=\"wp-image-1756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pose-controls-settings-in-daz.png 395w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pose-controls-settings-in-daz-300x268.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Using it is very easy.<\/strong> Just find what you want to change in your character and move the slider. For example, you can find sliders for making fists or bending the hip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know all the main ways of transforming your character. There are more ways, such as morphing or scaling, but they are not really needed in animation. So with this knowledge you can try to <strong>create something yourself<\/strong>. Just change the current frame, make some changes and do this a couple of times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remember<\/strong>, that you don\u2019t need to stick with one of the options to daz 3d animate your character. The best way is to<strong> combine them all<\/strong>. Choose a pose that is close to something that you need. Place everything roughly where you need it with the ActivePose tool or PowerPose. And finally make all of the small details with the Pose Controls and Rotation tool. Rinse and repeat a couple of times and you have an animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Export and Import your Daz Studio Animation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you are done with the animation, you can export it into another program. Or export your character without animation so you can animate it somewhere else and then bring back here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exporting is easy<\/strong>. Just go to the top menu, click \u201cFile\u201d and find there \u201cExport\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"329\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-export-animation.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-export-animation.png 329w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-export-animation-294x300.png 294w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-export-animation-300x306.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, simply choose the place on your computer where you want to save this file. And, <strong>most importantly<\/strong>, the format.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"814\" height=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-animation-export-formats.png\" alt=\"animation export formats in daz3d\" class=\"wp-image-1759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-animation-export-formats.png 814w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-animation-export-formats-300x54.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-animation-export-formats-768x139.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For daz animations we <strong>recommend <\/strong>exporting either the <em>BioVision .bvh<\/em> format (also known as motion capture) or the <em>Autodesk .fbx<\/em> format. First one will import animations of your character. On the other hand, the second one also exports all information as the clothes of the character and place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right above the export you can find the <strong>Import <\/strong>option. You need just to find the needed file on your computer and open it. Importing the .bvh files will import only the animation and apply it to your character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Face Daz Animation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Animating faces was always <strong>not an easy task<\/strong> in the Daz Studio. Mainly because there are no preset daz3d animations for the faces, as there is for the body. Meaning you need to create them yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically everything that was already said about animating bodies, applies for animating faces too. Use the <em>ActivePose<\/em> and <em>Rotation<\/em> tools. But <strong>pay close attention<\/strong> to the <em>Powerpose<\/em> and <em>Pose Controls<\/em>. Because they are<strong> especially useful<\/strong> in creating face animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Powerpose<\/em> has <strong>more interactions<\/strong> with the Genesis 8 figures and it is easy to create some expressions and then to add them as keyframes. Also it has the \u201cFace\u201d template for advanced transforms. Example expression created in the PowerPose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1224\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-expression-created-with-powerpose.png\" alt=\"face expression created with powerpose in daz\" class=\"wp-image-1760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-expression-created-with-powerpose.png 1224w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-expression-created-with-powerpose-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-expression-created-with-powerpose-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-expression-created-with-powerpose-850x567.png 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1224px) 100vw, 1224px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As was said previously, you can find a lot of options in the \u201c<em>Pose Controls<\/em>\u201d. Good to know, that there are <strong>a lot of transforms for faces<\/strong>. Some are even close to morphs. Meaning you can make your character look angry just by moving couple sliders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1191\" height=\"921\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/angry-face-pose-in-daz.png\" alt=\"Angry face pose in daz\" class=\"wp-image-1762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/angry-face-pose-in-daz.png 1191w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/angry-face-pose-in-daz-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/angry-face-pose-in-daz-768x594.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/angry-face-pose-in-daz-850x657.png 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1191px) 100vw, 1191px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But to be honest, these tools are really hard to use if you want to create some unique and detailed face daz animation. That is to say, that for more comfortable face animating there are <strong>two options<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First is difficult. You can <strong>use other software<\/strong> that was created for animating, thus having some better tools. This is programs such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reallusion.com\/iclone\/\" target=\"_blank\">iClone <\/a>and others. But this method needs knowledge of other software. We already said how you can export your characters to use them in other software and how to import them back again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another method is animating in Daz Studio. But with the use of some <strong>add-ons<\/strong>. A good example would be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/anilip-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anilip 2<\/a> product. It animates your character speaking for you. Making it look realistic and good. And you can write the text yourself with a text-to-speech function, record it with Speech Recognition or upload using cloud services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"985\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-product-anilips-985x1280.png\" alt=\"daz product anilips\" class=\"wp-image-1763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-product-anilips-985x1280.png 985w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-product-anilips-231x300.png 231w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-product-anilips-768x998.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-product-anilips-300x390.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-product-anilips-850x1105.png 850w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-product-anilips.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 985px) 100vw, 985px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">Different speaking expressions &#8211; source <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/anilip-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anilip 2<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">dForce Animation Clothes\/Cloths\/&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All the clothes and hair of your characters <strong>stay static during animation<\/strong>. Even if your scene is supposed to have them moving. You can move them manually, by transforming the part that is supposed to move each frame.<br><br>Or a much better way &#8211; use the dForce tool that is built-in the Daz Studio. It makes your objects <strong>obey the laws of physics<\/strong> that you can control. So the hair can jump, clothes flutter in the wind and so on. Example of a simulated cloth with the dForce:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulated-cloth-with-daz-dforce-1280x960.png\" alt=\"Simulated cloth with dforce in daz studio\" class=\"wp-image-1764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulated-cloth-with-daz-dforce-1280x960.png 1280w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulated-cloth-with-daz-dforce-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulated-cloth-with-daz-dforce-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulated-cloth-with-daz-dforce-850x638.png 850w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simulated-cloth-with-daz-dforce.png 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When working with the dForce just change the option \u201c<em>Frames to Simulate<\/em>\u201d to \u201c<em>Animated<\/em>\u201d and this will play the simulation based on the timeline. So you can transform your subject and during the daz animation, dForce would <strong>simulate physics for each frame<\/strong>. You can read about this useful function and how to use it in our <a href=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/daz-dforce\/\">article about dForce in Daz Studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Daz Studio Animation Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We already talked about some tools that you can use to create daz 3d animations. But it is not all, there are a bunch <strong>more to that<\/strong>. Learn about other useful tools in this section<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First would be the \u201c<em>Puppeteer<\/em>\u201d. This tool is interesting, because it is <strong>free and built-in<\/strong> to Daz Studio by default. Also it is an ambiguous thing, as some can find it useless, while others would love it. Open it as any other tool in the \u201cWindows\u201d menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use \u201c<em>Puppeteer<\/em>\u201d add a character and transform them in some way. Best example would be adding face expressions. And now just click inside the \u201c<em>Puppeteer<\/em>\u201d interface. This will <strong>create a dot<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"532\" height=\"706\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-puppeteer-animation-start.png\" alt=\"daz puppeteer animation start\" class=\"wp-image-1766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-puppeteer-animation-start.png 532w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-puppeteer-animation-start-226x300.png 226w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-puppeteer-animation-start-300x398.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, just as with any other animation, do some transforms again. That is to say, that character needs to be different from the previous state. And create another dot in \u201cPuppeteer\u201d by clicking there. <strong>Preferably<\/strong>, second dot should be on the same axis as the first, like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"532\" height=\"705\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-puppeteer-2nd-frame.png\" alt=\"daz studio puppeteer second frame added\" class=\"wp-image-1767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-puppeteer-2nd-frame.png 532w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-puppeteer-2nd-frame-226x300.png 226w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-puppeteer-2nd-frame-300x398.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now if you <strong>change the mode<\/strong> from <em>Edit <\/em>to <em>Preview<\/em>, you can drag somewhere in the interface and see how your character animates. The closer you are to one of the dots, the closer your character to that transform. And faster you move &#8211; faster the Daz Studio animation goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create animation, change mode again, this time to <em>Record<\/em>. It works the same as Preview, the difference is that Daz Studio will <strong>record your actions in real time<\/strong> and remember them. So when you end and press play on the timeline, it will repeat everything in the same way you did it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other tools that we would mention are not built-in to the Daz Studio and can be found in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/shop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daz3d Shop<\/a> among other useful products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably the <strong>best tool for creating animations<\/strong> is the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/animate2\" target=\"_blank\">AniMate2<\/a>. We already mentioned it and worked in the Lite version of the add-on. It just adds a very useful alternative to the default \u201cTimeline\u201d. It has a lot more functions and much easier to work with.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-product-animate2.png\" alt=\"daz product aniMate 2\" class=\"wp-image-1768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-product-animate2.png 500w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-product-animate2-231x300.png 231w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-product-animate2-300x390.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/animate2\" target=\"_blank\">AniMate2 product<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We already mentioned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/anilip-2\">Anilip2<\/a> when we wrote about face animation. But it is worth mentioning it again here, as it is a really useful tool and a best way of creating talking animations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating an Object Animation Manually<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We talked about how you can animate characters. But what about other things? For example some objects, like chairs, tables or doors. Well, if you know how to animate characters, it would <strong>not<\/strong> be <strong>a problem<\/strong> to animate anything else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Animating objects have nothing unusual going on for them. Just<strong> use all the techniques that we already discussed<\/strong>. Transform them at one frame, then change to another and transform them there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-animation-torus-1280x693.png\" alt=\"Animating Torus object in daz studio\" class=\"wp-image-1770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-animation-torus-1280x693.png 1280w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-animation-torus-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-animation-torus-768x416.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-animation-torus-1536x832.png 1536w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-animation-torus-850x460.png 850w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-animation-torus.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <strong>no unique tips or tricks<\/strong> for objects animation that we are aware of. Just a good idea to use dForce on any object that could benefit from it. We talked about dForce in a separate <a href=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/daz-dforce\/\">article<\/a> in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Daz Camera Animation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a long animation scene, it probably would be a good idea to animate your camera. Having a stationary camera, while everything in your scene moves will <strong>not look good<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make fly-throughs through your scene or make your camera transition between views.&nbsp; Cameras can follow your characters and characters can follow cameras too.<strong> All of this<\/strong> is what we are going to talk about in this section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Camera Following a Character<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes you want your character to move. And obviously because of that, they can go <strong>out of the camera view<\/strong> or move <strong>out of focus<\/strong>. Of course this means that you want cameras to follow character movements. It can be done manually, by rotating the camera and adding keyframes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, this can be easily <strong>automated<\/strong>. If you create a camera and go into its parameters, you can find there the \u201cConstraints\u201d option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"373\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-camera-constraints.png\" alt=\"daz studio camera constraints\" class=\"wp-image-1772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-camera-constraints.png 373w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-camera-constraints-160x300.png 160w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-studio-camera-constraints-300x564.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And here, in \u201cPoint at\u201d, you can choose what to follow. You will need to choose some part of the body, for example, the head. Because if you select the character, the camera will be pointed <strong>at its bottom<\/strong>, because that is where character origin point is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"302\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/head-selected-of-a-genesis-figure.png\" alt=\"head selected of a genesis figure\" class=\"wp-image-1773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/head-selected-of-a-genesis-figure.png 302w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/head-selected-of-a-genesis-figure-210x300.png 210w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/head-selected-of-a-genesis-figure-300x429.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we can move both the camera and character however we like. And the camera will <strong>always<\/strong> be pointing at the head of our character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fly-throughs&nbsp;Camera Animation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important camera movement that will <strong>improve your scene<\/strong>. You can make the fly-throughs pretty easy, it is more a case of understanding best ways to do them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make a fly-through, just use all of the methods we talked about in this daz studio animation tutorial. Use transforms, create keyframes. One thing that is different, is that you can change to camera view and<strong> control it like it&#8217;s a viewport<\/strong>. It will also create keyframes, as regular. So combine these two techniques and create needed animations. Position the camera at your first frame, then select your end frame and position the camera at that point of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-through-animation-in-daz-1280x693.png\" alt=\"fly-through animation in daz studio\" class=\"wp-image-1774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-through-animation-in-daz-1280x693.png 1280w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-through-animation-in-daz-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-through-animation-in-daz-768x416.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-through-animation-in-daz-1536x832.png 1536w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-through-animation-in-daz-850x460.png 850w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-through-animation-in-daz.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">Animating camera using different transforms<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making Figures Look at the Camera<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are situations when you want your characters to look directly <strong>into the camera<\/strong>. And that is not too hard to realize. Just use different transforms to point your head and eyes at the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you work with animation, where every frame the position of camera and characters can change, it quickly can become <strong>too much work<\/strong>. That is why Daz3D added the \u201cConstraints\u201d option in the Parameters. The same option we used for the Camera to follow character. Yes, it can work both ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you need to click on the eye, open the \u201c<em>Point at<\/em>\u201d menu and choose \u201c<em>Camera<\/em>\u201d there. Or <strong>any other object<\/strong> in that case. You can see the eyes looking at the camera with this technique on the screenshot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"661\" height=\"861\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-look-at-camera-daz-animation.png\" alt=\"figure looking at the camera as part of an daz animation\" class=\"wp-image-1775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-look-at-camera-daz-animation.png 661w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-look-at-camera-daz-animation-230x300.png 230w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/figure-look-at-camera-daz-animation-300x391.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 661px) 100vw, 661px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, this <strong>will not work on the head<\/strong>. As using constraint to point the head at the camera, will point top of the head, instead of the face. So you need to move the character&#8217;s head manually for this. Or are you?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, some good people made a script that will, indeed, point<strong> both the head and the eyes<\/strong> at the camera. You can download this script by following the link: <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/mcasualsdazscripts2\/mcjlookatthecamera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/mcasualsdazscripts2\/mcjlookatthecamera<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, there is one more useful script available. By default, when you point the eyes at the camera &#8211; it will affect only the eyeballs. Meaning, that other parts of the eye, such as eyelashes will not move. Exactly this <strong>improves <\/strong>the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharecg.com\/v\/67748\/view\/8\/Script\/PointAt-Fixer-for-Genesis-eyes#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PointAt-Fixer script<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/eyeslashes-animation-script-for-daz-studio.png\" alt=\"Genesis eyes script\" class=\"wp-image-1776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/eyeslashes-animation-script-for-daz-studio.png 738w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/eyeslashes-animation-script-for-daz-studio-300x285.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">Comparison how it looks without and with the script &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharecg.com\/v\/67748\/view\/8\/Script\/PointAt-Fixer-for-Genesis-eyes#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PointAt-Fixer<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Camera Transitions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to make some <strong>cinematic daz studio animation<\/strong> and have more then one camera, you probably would want to have some transitions between them. There are a couple of ways to achieve this effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, and probably <strong>not the best<\/strong>, though worth talking about. That is to place a couple of cameras and then render the whole Daz 3d animation from the view of each individual camera. After this, you can use some other video editing software, to combine the renders and make it how you want it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Main <strong>disadvantage <\/strong>of this method is that you will need to render your scene once for each camera. And this can be a really long process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-scene-with-two-cameras-1280x693.png\" alt=\"daz scene with two cameras\" class=\"wp-image-1778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-scene-with-two-cameras-1280x693.png 1280w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-scene-with-two-cameras-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-scene-with-two-cameras-768x416.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-scene-with-two-cameras-1536x832.png 1536w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-scene-with-two-cameras-850x460.png 850w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-scene-with-two-cameras.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Scene with two cameras<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other method is more difficult to set up, but does not require rendering for more than one time. This method is based on using <strong>only one camera<\/strong> and just animating it in the way that <strong>looks like<\/strong> there are <strong>more than one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this, you will need to create a keyframe of the camera placed from the one view that you want. And on <strong>exactly the next frame<\/strong> you need to have another keyframe with the camera placed at the different place. Because this animation is taking only one frame, then the camera will teleport from one place to another. And during animation that will make it feel as if the view was changed from one camera to another. Here is how it look on the timeline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1235\" height=\"228\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-timeline-simulating-multiple-cameras.jpg\" alt=\"daz timeline simulating multiple cameras\" class=\"wp-image-1779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-timeline-simulating-multiple-cameras.jpg 1235w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-timeline-simulating-multiple-cameras-300x55.jpg 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-timeline-simulating-multiple-cameras-768x142.jpg 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-timeline-simulating-multiple-cameras-850x157.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1235px) 100vw, 1235px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>First keyframe is the camera in the first position, second keyframe placed on the next frame and here the camera moved to another place. Third keyframe is the same as the second one, just placed later. And keyframe four is the camera moved at the other, third position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This setup will provide animation that looks like <strong>view transitioning between cameras<\/strong>. First we have one view, then look from another \u201ccamera\u201d for 10 frames and change to a third view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also there is a third way of making these transitions. You can download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.versluis.com\/2015\/06\/how-to-render-a-multi-camera-animation-in-daz-studio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">script<\/a> that allows you to <strong>transition between cameras on the fly<\/strong> right while you render. So you can render one daz animation from different camera views while rendering only one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rotation Daz3d Animation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are definitely some situations when you want to make a rotation animation. Most commonly for cameras, because users want to film their character around. Or sometimes you want to show your model from all possible angles.<br><br>You can always create rotation daz animations <strong>yourself<\/strong>. As usually, transform your subjects, rotate them manually and add keyframes for each change. Do this in the right way and the result will be as wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"985\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-turnable-animations-985x1280.png\" alt=\"daz product for turnable animation \" class=\"wp-image-1782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-turnable-animations-985x1280.png 985w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-turnable-animations-231x300.png 231w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-turnable-animations-768x998.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-turnable-animations-300x390.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-turnable-animations-850x1105.png 850w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-turnable-animations.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 985px) 100vw, 985px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">Lady spinning the Umbrella &#8211; source <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/360-rotating-turntable-animations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">360 Rotating Turntable Animations<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>On other hand, you can use a <strong>special tool created for this<\/strong>.

That is really useful, because you also can animate the properties of the light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, you can make light sources move. This is <strong>no different from animating cameras<\/strong>. You can use a function that allows you to change to the light view as if it was a camera and move it like that. Or move it as any other object by using parameters tab or Translate tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly and more interesting, you can <strong>animate properties of the light<\/strong>. This includes almost any property, as color, temperature, strength and even size. Remember to place the keyframe manually before doing changes to properties. Because if you don\u2019t do it, it will just change the properties and not animate. After that, go to the later frame, make needed changes to the properties and place a new keyframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"235\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-light-animation.png\" alt=\"daz light animation\" class=\"wp-image-1783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-light-animation.png 235w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-light-animation-135x300.png 135w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Color, size and lumens properties in the middle of animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Texture Animation in Daz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last thing that you can animate that we are mentioning in the article are textures. At first texture animation sounds strange. Why would someone animate textures? But if you think about it, it can be <strong>really useful<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you have a pool of water in your scene. And while everything around is animated and moving, changing in some way, water just stays static. Sounds boring. That is because usually water is made with textures, and sadly you <strong>can\u2019t animate textures<\/strong> in the Daz Studio by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately someone named DraagonStorm has made the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/animated-textures-script-for-daz-studio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Animated Textures Script for DAZ Studio<\/a>. This great script <strong>allows any user to create animated textures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"958\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-texture-animations-1280x958.png\" alt=\"daz texture animations\" class=\"wp-image-1784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-texture-animations-1280x958.png 1280w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-texture-animations-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-texture-animations-768x575.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-texture-animations-850x636.png 850w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-texture-animations.png 1443w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">Animated television screen texture &#8211; source <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/animated-textures-script-for-daz-studio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Animated Textures Script<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its help you can <strong>animate any mappable property<\/strong> of your scene.

Anybody can wonder how to render quicker animations daz3d? Well Daz3d rendering animations is not that much different from any other form of rendering. But there are still differences that you<strong> need to know<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you render an image, it doesn&#8217;t really matter what the aspect ratio is. You can change it depending on the scene and purpose. But with animations it would be a good idea to <strong>stick with the 16:9 <\/strong>aspect ratio. Because this is the most common aspect ratio in the media right now. Most of the smartphones and computers stick to it or around it. And if your animation would be different, than on 16:9 screen it will have black bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/black-bars-to-fit-standard-video-aspect-ratio-1280x720.png\" alt=\"black bars shown on video with non 16:9 aspect ratio\" class=\"wp-image-1786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/black-bars-to-fit-standard-video-aspect-ratio-1280x720.png 1280w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/black-bars-to-fit-standard-video-aspect-ratio-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/black-bars-to-fit-standard-video-aspect-ratio-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/black-bars-to-fit-standard-video-aspect-ratio-850x478.png 850w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/black-bars-to-fit-standard-video-aspect-ratio.png 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">Picture with the black bars as example &#8211; source <a href=\"https:\/\/pngimage.net\/black-bars-png-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pngimage.net<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next significant thing is <strong>resolution<\/strong>. This one is easy. Most frequently people use either HD 1280&#215;720 resolution or FullHD 1920&#215;1080. Obviously higher resolution means better picture, but quite longer renders. So you need to decide for yourself what to choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also you always can <strong>experiment <\/strong>both with resolution and aspect ratio. Use black bars in cinematic animations. Try UltraHD resolution, or lower it to 480p for faster Daz3d render animations. Everything is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something that you<strong> <\/strong>need to <strong>always remember<\/strong>, when Daz 3d rendering animations is that to change \u201c<em>Render type<\/em>\u201d to either <em>Image Series<\/em> or <em>Movie<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"532\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-animation-rendering.png\" alt=\"daz animation rendering\" class=\"wp-image-1788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-animation-rendering.png 532w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-animation-rendering-242x300.png 242w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/daz-animation-rendering-300x372.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Though we recommend <strong>at all situations<\/strong> to use the <em>Image Series<\/em>. It is just much easier and safer to work with. No advantages to using movies over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you need to set up the \u201c<em>Progression Rendering<\/em>\u201d tab. We recommend turning off \u201c<em>Rendering Quality<\/em>\u201d and using the \u201c<em>max samples<\/em>\u201d option for this. You need to find the <strong>lowest number <\/strong>that you can afford, so your scene will look good. We can\u2019t give you this number, because it depends on your scene and resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About <strong>Filtering<\/strong>: there is no reason to turn off the <em>Firefly filter<\/em>, it is useful and important. <em>Post Denoiser<\/em>, on other hand, is much more controversial. It can definitely help with the final result, but it has its flaws, especially the time it takes. In short, we would recommend turning it on, but set the \u201c<em>Post Denoiser Start iteration<\/em>\u201d to number around 80-90% of your Max Samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"531\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/render-settings-for-daz-animation-using-filters.png\" alt=\"animation render settings in daz studio\" class=\"wp-image-1789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/render-settings-for-daz-animation-using-filters.png 531w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/render-settings-for-daz-animation-using-filters-237x300.png 237w, https:\/\/renderguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/render-settings-for-daz-animation-using-filters-300x379.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">Filtering settings with Max Samples set to 500<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is all of the main differences of rendering animation compared to image.
