No, Animate is not required to animate figures in DS. You can manually pose and keyframe through the timeline as you like.
Animate simply allows you to use (or make your own) and combine/sequence pre-made animations for various figures. Keymate and Graphmate work with Animate, but none of them require the others. Graphmate allows you to view and tweak the various graphs of the various animated channels in the timeline, and keymate allows you to manipulate individual keyframes better.
Ok, good I bought keymate and graphmate I'll buy animate at a later time, I learned to animate in poser 4 so hopefully it won't be much different
animate2, as i understand it, will allow an extra layer,
so you can use an aniblock of expression in combination with the pose movement.
Will animate work with Genesis 3 to make them do stuff, or do the blocks just work with M4 and V4
