If Poser 8 had the means to be able to do What DAZ AniMate does, I would not have any need for DAZ Studio. If The company that made AniMate doesn't an exclusive with DAZ Studio that would really be a big plus with Poser animators. As I said, I like animating within Poser. Importing the PZ2 files is just an extra step to mess with. Even if you can open the PZ2 file in it's correct placement. But I will have to live with what ever comes. As Animators know, Animating is time consuming. I am making full length movies. Most make little clips, or movie shorts. All are exciting. It's just that my desire is for making Movies. And It takes me a good year to make a full lenght movie. I know have another person to work on areas that he is more adept at doing. So what ever Poser can do to speed up the process, especially in Rendering and animating are my priority.
