Kids 4 Animation Question

bullet_93

Hi!
I would like to ask how is it possible to make the kids 4 characters walk and cry in DAZ STUDIO 4. I did see that they contain facial expression morphs, and I found another product, Crying Time, which contains crying for the kids 4 too. Do these morphs work as a part of the AniMate2 (free one which comes with Daz Studio) or they only work as settable Puppeteer poses?

Last question would be, if it's possible to make a character cry via the Animate 2 (free one) or do I need to buy the plug-in ? Does it contain more ready made movements for example crying?

First of all, I would like to ask how do the morphs that come with the Kids 4 work for the animation?

Is there anything faster than using the puppeteer?

Crying would simply be a matter of posing and morphing, and presumably some material adjustments which is where crying Time may help - though be aware that DS doesn't directly do animated materials. Walking can be done with AniBlocks or with standard posing. If you are wanting pre-made solutions then you would be looking for walk poses (should be plenty, both as AniBlocks and as standard animated poses, though being mainly for adults they'd need some adjustment) and for crying (I'm not sure how much, if anything, content there is that would help with that).
