Puppeteer allows you to create interesting animations by smoothly changing between keyframes using an intuitive mouse-based interface. This tutorial is going to show how to use Puppeteer to create a simple walk cycle that can be slowed down or sped up, even made more realistic or exaggerated, easily and on the fly. More complex versions of this technique can be used to get your characters dancing, to a rhythm you choose!

DAZ Studio's camera controls add a different perspective and can help you set focal point in unique and dramatic ways. Studio doesn't duplicate real world lenses, but it comes close. Depth of Field can help create mystery, tie elements together visually or otherwise bring the viewers attention to some point in your composition and renders. This tutorial addresses methods for using Depth of Field, Focal Distance and F/Stop.

This tutorial will show you how to use those psd lip color files to add new lip color to character textures and apply them in Daz Studio. This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of your graphics program. We are using Paint Shop Pro X, but the steps should be the same or similar in Photoshop and The Gimp. A layered lip color file has been provided with this tutorial and includes 10 lip colors perfectly placed to copy and paste onto Victoria 4 head textures.

Resulting from our attempts to decrease the per-frame-render-time (for animation), this tutorial is a work-around (a cheat) to get a respectable shadow of trans-mapped hair (which OpenGL can't do) without a terribly significant cost in image quality or having to use the time-costly 3Delight render.

If you don't want to use only skeletons or models with the simple grey default shader to work on your animations in MotionBuilder, DAZ offers a powerful tool, the FBX-Exporter-Plugin for DAZ|Studio. It helps to export your models with all textures to FBX-Format. Unfortunately receiving proper results in MotionBuilder is a little bit tricky. This tutorial shows how to achieve best results with only a few manual corrections.

D-form is powerful tool and should not be underestimated. While generally it can be used to custom shape the models in DAZ Studio it also has more powerful functions. With help of this plug-in and the script made by DeltaX15 this tutorial will show how to make custom morphs and save them in the character. As a model for this tutorial we choose Spuggles (which is freely available at DAZ Free Models Archive). As nice a model as it is Spuggles has no many shape morphs to speak about so we will fix that with help of the D-form plug-in.

Modelling a new character for DAZ Studio from the ground up can be a long process made all the more complicated by the need to rig the figure for movement in Poser. But why do all that work when you already have native morphing figures for which it's all been done? Combining parts from different figures, countless new characters can be yours all rigged and ready to go.
