1.I've never done it but I think it's possible to use a movie-file (avi) instead of an image map, if you want to use a plain texturemap.

2.If you want to use a procedural texture (shader), there are lots of possibilties for animation, if you look in the advanced tab of the materialroom you will notice that most dials have keys in front of them: it means that all those dials can be animated, So yes: you can animate textures but only in poser 5 and above, it won't work in DAZ-studio (perhaps with the animation-plugin, but I don't have that!)

The question is:what you want to be animated?

Best regards,

Bopper.
