Is there any way to put Animation on the Daz Gallery or is it just for posers.

Cheers

    they are not so much interested in Animation
    you see the Animation Forum is somewhere where noone finds it and few People go
    an Animation Gallery really would be great so we dont have to rely on YouTube or vimeo

    Yeah, I'm not sure why it's not included. Daz Studio promotes itself as an animation tool on their front page but does not support it in gallery.

    Can we put in a request for this perhaps?

    Greetings,
    I believe it's either an oversight, or their thumbnailing software doesn't work with gifs...

    There's a gallery thread that some of the DAZ_* folks have been commenting in, and listening to feature requests. I highly recommend posting this there.

    Longer term, I'd love it if they supported MP4 and/or WebM personally.

    There isn't any support for animated gifs as doing them at a decent resolution and frame rate with them is just silly and, in general, make for way too large of files. Embedded video however is on the list of possible future feature updates depending on demand.

    I'm definitely interested in embedded video, although my animation skill is roughly equivalent to that of an untrained tortoise bboying a windmill.

    I see it being especially useful for 360° views of products, customer-shared tutorials (I've done two of these on YouTube myself) and so animation-focused PA's don't have to link to YouTube to show off their stuff.

    Although I'm sure the Carrara folks would find much better uses for it... :)

    That's not a bad idea, Has anyone tried that yet so I can see?

    I think allowing youtube or other video sites would be a great way to go.
