Next over to the right is a button for deleting keys at the current time. If you turn this on, your animation will continuously play until you press the stop button. Next over to the right is the loop button. It's no wonder that animation companies have super computers that do all their processing overnight. This means that it takes 30 frames of pictures to create one second of animation. Animations typically run anywhere from 15 to 30 frames per second.
#Daz 3d animation frame rate code#
Next to the time code display is the FPS, or Frames per Second. This displays the exact time of your animation in hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. You can type in a number here to move the timeline to a frame, or slide the slider to that frame. This would not change the total number of frames, just the frames that are viewable on the timeline. In order to see the individual frames, you could set the range from 0 to 90. Let's say we are working on a big animation, and the timeline is set from 0 to 510 frames (17 seconds). This sets up the From and To frames on the upper top portion of the timeline. Rendering is a fancy word for a program's ability to create your scene, calculating all of the textures, shadows and lights, and producing a finished image.īecause DAZ Studio uses OpenGL, we can see the actual animation without rendering, and then render it when we want the finished product.Īt the lower-left is where you set the total number of frames. This process is also called tweening, because DAZ Studio is creating the frames in-between the key frames. When the scene is rendered, DAZ Studio will create 30 individual frames (or pictures) numbered from 1 to 30 with our character's arm in positions from his side to over his head. Then we set the current frame to a higher number like 30 and pose him with his arm over his head, which sets another key frame. We set the current frame position to 1, pose him with his arm down by his side, and set one of the dials on the right side of the screen. Let's say we want our character to lift his arm. You also use the scrubber to mark out the individual frames in your animation.įrames are points in time where you set the pose. You simply click and drag the Scrubber to navigate your animation. The scrubber is used to quickly find specific points within your animation. The Animation Timeline window looks a bit scary at first, but it's not as bad as it looks.Īlong the top is the slider control, or the scrubber.
