aniMate2

aniMate2 takes the same building block approach of aniMate 1.5 and aniMate+ and adds a combination of high-tech features and user refinement. If you are new to this way of animating or found it too difficult in the past, you need to check out aniMate2. aniMate2 was designed to be as easy to use as possible, with special emphasis on human/character movement. The "blocked" nature of aniBlocks allow you to create compelling animated scenes with great ease. You won't find a better way to animate in DAZ Studio.

Note: aniMate2 is supported in both DAZ Studio 3 AND DAZ Studio 4
