Hi all,

I am starting to play around with animations using Poser 7.
I find the program frankly unreliable and very buggy. For example, when I move to a specific frame and start to adjust a character using the Parameter dials, it is quite common for Poser 7 to do strange things to part of the characters body, like change the scale, apply morphs, apparently change the joint parameters etc. All these weird changes are completely not undoable, the only way to get back is to reload a previous copy of the pz3 file. the problem seems to get worse the further into the animation I get (or maybe the longer the file has been open). The wierd effects are not reproducable.

So, I was thinking about trying to make animations in DAZ Studio.
Has anyone got experience of using DAZ Studio for making animations? How would you rate DAZ Studio and Poser 7 in regard to making animations.

Thanks for any replies,

Isaacnewton

I like D|S for animation due to ir's interface. It also has some great plug--ins for animation that come with it (Puppeteer) and the fantastic AniMate+ (3rd Party). Personally, I hardly ever use Poser.

All the animations I do are with D}S or Carrara. You can check out my animations at: fatcatalley.com,
