That's one of the problems I've heard about with Animate2 but in a DAZ tutorial video from 4 years ago on Youtube they said they would have a fix for that soon. I will be trying again with the timeline and hopefully it starts to come together a lot of the animation I'd be working on would be with rigged characters interacting. It's a lot to try to wrap my head around, especially since there's so little clear information out there. With a fludios plugin click to for the info. Please forgive my enthusiasm I have been using daz studio for animation a long time so I have a very good grasp of the UI Here is a couple of screen shots of the differences of the animate2 timeline and the daz native timeline. but its actually set up like most 3d software timelines and once you start using it becomes more formilur. I think most people don't like the Daz timeline is because they have no idea how to use it or understand the UI. its faster to correct mistakes, The Animate2 timeline is only good for aniblocks unless you have the graph mate or key mate companion plugins. so there is a lot of trial and error that goes with learning it.īut the daz timeline does expand into individual nodes for making & editing animation keyframes. The UI of the daz timeline can be very confusing and hard to understand if you have no understanding of the daz studio software. Fludios is a water simulation plugin, that also requires the daz timeline to keyframe it properly. & deforce loads into the daz timeline editor and you can not edit the deforce node in Animate2. its a must have if you plan on creating or working with aniblocks, it does have a lot of limits with what can be done on it.
As I stated before Animate 2 is a wonderful timeline i use it a lot my self. the tabs are not marked well, and knowing where the tools are located for editing or clearing the timeline is not always clear cut finding what you need unless you been working with daz studio a while and learned where everything is located.
plus it gives you the property window for when your using or creating a Ik-chains solution for your animation or need to edit the dforce nodesīut the biggest hurdle is know how to use the timeline ui. you can remove and add keyframes and make repeating cycels of the same keys, the keyframe editor allows you to edit each bone of the joint in a character or prop loaded on the timeline.
The daz timeline works very much the same as the old keymate and graphmate did, you can highlight and hold keyframes to drag them to new locations along the timeline. but it does not cover the advancements of the timeline new features. I have introduction tutorial in the daz store. Unfortunately Daz has a very bad habit of not providing documents for the software they create.
