  DS can't animate several things.  Material parameters is one of these.  But there are some free scripts by mcasual (TexAnim, MatAnim) that will allow you to animate those channels.

  You can find ALL his scripts and Freebies here:  https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts/

  He has a LOT for helping with animations in DS.

  Hello
  I'm looking for a way to animate a transition in Daz studio. I need one thing to turn into another. I tried this by trying to animate the opacity of the object it was over, but even adding key frames did not work. if I change the opacity of the iten on the color surface, even the animation of it before these frames become transparent.
  I had cut the scenes, and then this shifted from one object to another in sequence, but the client wants the transformation so that one item disappears while the other takes its place.
  Thank you very much

   

  I understand what your saying. But I found doing transitions like you want, will have to be done within a video editor and splicing multible animated scenes together and using the fade in fade out in the video editor to blend the scene to make it seamless then the transition looks like its all one scene of a man tuning to a car or a building turning into a robot .. using a video editor will be the best way to accomplish this

  that is how i did the transitions in these animated films for th ghost ball and headless horseman transforming ito the scene from smoke to the headless horseman

  Maybe these samples below  aren't what your talking about But that would be the best way to do transitions like you want is through a film editor splicing and blending your renders together

  and at the end of this film where i make Karate girl disappear I did the same trick
