When I select an animation - it says "an error occurred while reading the file"

gareth.murfin

Hi guys, very new to Daz3D, loving it so far, looks great for making characters for Unity games! Made one and had it working in Unity, VERY impressive stuff.

But then today when I loaded it up, now when I select an animation - it says "an error occurred while reading the file, see the log file for more details" - the animations used to work perfectly (as in I'd see the character dance or whatever), and there was a little thumbnail there, but now there is no thumbnail and that error comes up and it doesnt work. The files appear to still be there on the disk..

Im on win7 with 16 gig and a Radeon HD 7800 + 3 Core AMD II X425 2.7 Ghz. I uninstalled, rebooted reinstalled and had the same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I was just about to start my lovely Daz3D voyage!

Thanks
Gaz.

AniMate is free for the first 30 days I believe.
After that you need to buy a licence.
Perhaps that's whgy you are getting the error?

Good point, however, I only found out about this program yesterday.

AniBlocks are Not Animation files, you Apply them to a Loaded figure using AniMate as shown below. Even AniMate Lite will use them after the 30 day full AniMate Trial expires...

You can DRAG and Drop them on a loaded figure and it will auto load Animate with the Dropped AniBlock but you still must open the AniMate tab yourself from Window>Panes (Tabs)>

Click Image for full size...

Please tell me you did not Install the Animate file. The Full Animate is Built into DAZ Studio now. You only need the Serial number from buying Animate to Activate the full version. If you install the Animate file that comes with DS you will Break the built in version.

EDIT: The built in Version is ALL you need now, that and A Serial will give you the FULL AniMate2.
