Can't find the animation that i downloaded in the software

amichaishi

Hey guys :)

I have a really stupid issue, I can't find the animation pack I downloaded from the DAZ website. The DAZ manager shows that the animation pack 

is installed, but I can't see it in the DAZ software. 

Really need to use it fast, I have a big presentation in 2 days from now!

Anyone knows how to solve this ??

Using PC and DAZ studio 4.9

 

Cheers

Ami

Yes, DAZ 3D needs to most obviously catalogue the aniBlocks in DAZ Studio. Maybe they'll improve that integration when they improve the animation system to work with Genesis 3 and Genesis 8.

Easiest what to find all of the GoFigure aniblocks products you have bought is to go to the 'Content Library' tab in DAZ Studio and 

DAZ Studio Formats - Library - aniBlocks -

                                                               aniMate

                                                               aniMate+

                                                               and so on.

Note that all the icons are broken.

Are they not aailable through the AniMate pane? Window>Panes(Tabs)>Animate or AniMate Lite.

Look there too, they are in a drop down pane (the names are obscurred because they are too long), but don't forget to at the bottom of DAZ Studio in the middle click the up & down grey arrows to open & close the animation timeline pane.

My tab says animate2.

Use your keyboard:

<Alt>-W - brings up the DAZ Studio menu selection called Windows - Panes (Tabs) is the 1st on that menu and you can use left mouse button or down arrow key to select the Panes (Tabs) submenu and then the left mouse button or the down arrow key and then right arrow key and then return to the aniMate menu entry.

Also make sure you have entered a valid serial number for DAZ Studio and animate Lite aniMate/animate2 in the Help Menu - About Installed Plugins Serial Number dialogue box.

and YouTube searches "aniMate2 DAZ" will take you much further, much faster now that you  have started navigatig in the DAZ Studio menus.

It has three diffrent isntallers - which did you use, and how did you install?

You 1st have to drag & drop that blue-green animation from the list of avaiable animations in aniMate to the aniMate timeline and once you do that it is automatically on the other generic DAZ timeline tab. You need to familiarize yourself with the YouTube videos I sent you the link to so you can use now where to navigate to and change the DAZ Studio UI to animate like you hope to.

You will know the aniBlock(s) are in the timeline tab by the range that is listed - eg Range : 0 to 362 so 362 frames of animation are in the timeline.

I know the DAZ Studio UI is very crowded and small print but it will be worth your while.
