Copying animation from one model to another

megavlad

Is it possible to copy the animation information between different characters? The characters are based on Genesis 8 Male and Female models.

If not entire animations, how about poses?

For example, between:

 - Male to Male

- Female to Female

- Between Genders

- Between characters with different morphs. Say one Michael 8 and one base character.

 

Basically, my goal is to animate one model performing some action(s) and then apply those animations to other models. The other models could be of the opposite or the same gender, and it could have different clothing and/or mophs.

 

Thanks

A pose preset should work, though a degree of tweaking is going to be needed between the sexes or within one sex if the shape has changed.

You might be able to save your animation preset as a custom aniblock and then you can apply it to any character of the same generation.  It's been a while since I've done that, but it is possible to do.  The Daz3D video below tells how to make your own aniblocks.  If I remember correctly, you bake everything to keyframes and then save as an aniblock.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.
