Description
A quick animation test run of La Femme, based on Naiades Aqua's acting on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tpVNvMB1fI
This was the first time animating La Femme, and her facial controls were left as a secondary animation pass instead of setting them up in the initial keyframes along with her dials, as we would with V4. Therefore the mouth animation is a tad off. Otherwise, she's a blast to animate... great model!
Enjoy!

This is awesome. Never seen anything like it here. Love to see a tutorial on how †o set up keyframes. I suspect that fewer might be better because real movements tend to be pretty quick.
Eronik
Well mazzam, in a nutshell, you put a keyframe on all the extremes, the farthest a bodypart goes before it changes direction. For example, if she looks down, you put a keyframe where her head stops moving down. In this case, there were on average 5 keyframes per second @ 24/sec. And the whole performance (1 min.) was captured with about 300 keyframes. That would be the first pass. Also called the diamond keys. If these keys are correct, then you do secondary passes for eyes, mouth, hands... ect. That's about all there is to it.

Thank you!

Really, really impressive! The mimics is phantastic and the whole body language very believable and natural and the hair sways naturally to the movements (and LaFemme looks even cute here)! I'd love to see more of this quality! 10*
Eronik
More is definitely in the works, but to be honest most of it might not be accepted here (hint-hint)

Very neat work loads of movement neat lip sync
How many hours did it take from start to final render if you don't mind say
Eronik
6 days in total, 5 of which was animation... waaaaay too long for 1 lousy minute! And that's not counting the set.
Thorwald
Really great example of the power of Poser. Inspirational work Thanks.
Eronik
Pleasure is all mine Thorwald. Poser is actually very powerful when it comes to animation, and not because of it's complexity like Maya or other unnecessarily complicated tools, but for the exact opposite; it's simplicity. Oh and the ability to select a body part through another one, is absolutely priceless (unlike big-dad Maya, which is only good for modeling).

Absolutely stunning!!! I'm just trying to get up enough courage to do a 360 degree fly around of one of my characters (I literally know nothing about the handling of animation in DAZ, lol.) You may have inspired me to take the leap (Aaaarrrrrgggghhhh!) I'm just going through some basic tutorials trying to find the right one (I mean REALLY basic!) Hope to see more of your work.
Eronik
The 3D tools we use might as well all be one and the same, because the principals of animation apply to all formats. If you got the time, study the basics as well. Maybe start with the lessons by Richard Williams
Happy animating!
