Animate ? Timeline ? Wth

Hey guys,
I recently been interested into Animation with Daz.

But whenever I drag an animation on the Timeline or the Genesis 3 model, this error message pop up.

Image removed - please use smooth-shaded preview mode if showing a nude figure

Also, it doesn't seem to have "AniMate" installed. Some art buddies of mine got it without buying Animate 2... What's the mess with that ?

First of all - was the animation made for the Genesis 3 model?

Animation data basically just rotates certain joints around and repositions them. If the rig of the figure is different, it may cause errors or be unsuable. So my questions would be - is the animation you're using a Genesis 3 Female animation block?

Also, Animate2 is an etxernal, paid plugin for DAZ Studio. DAZ has its own way of creating animations, while the AniBlock is used with the plugin.

 

Does this answer your question?

AniMate should, however, be working in Lite mode if you have not purchased the full version and entered ther serial number. Is it listed in help>About Installed Plug-ins, and what is shown at the bottom of that dialogue if you highlight the Animate entry?
