There is only 2 reasons I use DAZ Studio. So I can get there V5, M5 - V7 M7 charactures into Poser. and I love aniblocks. I can import the motions into Poser, and clean them up real easy. What they are trying to do in Daz Studio is good, but cubersome. Pose for me at least, so easy to use. 

I hadn't used DAZ Studio into a final rendered animation, Just a basic render to see how well the new figures animated. But they have great figures. I think they have pining the legs. and there use to be at least in the DAZ Studio 3, a way to move the feet into match the feet from one aniblock to the next if they don't match up; I haven't had the need to yet,  I can't stand the way they load content into DAZ Studio. Have the things I load I can't find. 

I say if you can't make something simple, you are doing no one a favor. Lights, Camera, and action is up to the artist, the rest of how you get there should be as simple as possible. I know realisticly, that is not always possible, but it is what they should always shoot for.
