well i finally did it, i crossed over to the dark side :thumbupboth: to try out the animation capabilities of Daz Studio, i must admit so far i'm impressed with the smoothness of the animation it produces. I do have a question though, after 10 years with poser in its various formats, i'm finding the render engine a little strange, and wonder if someone could point me in the right direction to the render settings that give a decent balance of quality over time taken to render, and also is it still better to render pngs and recompile externally , the reason i ask is, i tried a couple of sample animations this weekend, i rendered to avi format, but i ran into 2 problems.

a. the avi's were unplayable in either windows media player, irfan view, or real player

b. when i finally did get one to be recognised, the output was just a series of flickering vertical lines.

I'm obviously missing something key in the daz renders engines so any light you guys can shed on the subject would be gratefully recieved
