Anyone using AniBlocks with Genesis? I really want to stick with the Genesis characters but can’t get rid of the funny feet.

Sounds like your using Gen 4 poses on Genesis, there are easy to use scripts to correct this by Mcasual or AMR, I’m not sure which one I am using.

I think I use this one: http://www.sharecg.com/v/60772/ 

Works on the first frame of the animation, and I believe fixes all the others (it does in the timeline anyway).

Also see here: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthread/6562/

It appears it has been corrected in 4.5 ....  (though I don’t have it yet)

I am not having issues with the posing. I am having problems with AniMate2. I contacted them again and they said it is on their end. Animate2 is only targeted to Gen4 figures and is goofy on Genesis. If you know something different, I would love to know about it. I am actually trying to create animations with DAZ and could use AniMate2 if I could get it to work.

4.5 is too young for me. I don’t have time right now to spend with new software. I am also not experienced enough to know when I am doing something wrong or the software has a bug. I will watch the posts and when people start reporting all the bugs have been fixed I might chance it.

Now I see why some people are still using DS 1 or 2 .

I have the foot issues also with version 4 and Animate2.  I apply a corrective key frame to the very first frame of my animation in Animate2 and that usually takes care of the issue.  I assume you are speaking about the front of the feet sticking up in the air.  Let me know if this is correct and I will post a screenshot of how I correct it in Animate2.

Yez, this is the problem. I would be grateful for any help you could give.

Ok here is your mini tut on foot correction.  I hope this works out as I have never posted multiple files on this new site yet.

Here are the remaining steps.  Remember to click the images to enlarge them.

I have animate lite. Any way of doing this in Lite? I want to buy Animate 2 but can´t afford it right now.

try the shoe icon just above the timeline - try ( - 12 ) for offset

Sorry for the LATE reply. The thread got lost for me. The shoe icon works for only the first frame on Genesis :-(

You can use PoseMaster to transfer Genesis poses (including aniblocks) to Gen 4 figures (you need to bake the aniblock to the DAZ Studio timeline first). There is also a batch convert utility. This wil take care of the foot issues as well as the different rigging. Please see http://www.youtube.com/user/cridgit3d for the youtube tutorial videos (you want to watch the 1.4 versions with audio).

The free script above will help with adjusting foot poses on a frame-by-frame basis, so you need to apply the foot pose either on the first frame to affect the entire aniblock, or you need to apply it to all the keyframes.
