HEAT animations are only usable with Gen 8-9 characters.
The Daz 3D Plug-in communicates with the HEAT motion library through the HEAT Bridge. If you haven't downloaded and installed the HEAT Bridge please start here.
Open the HEAT Bridge on your PC.
Log into the HEAT Bridge with the 'Sign In' button () in the upper right hand corner.
Once the Bridge is connected to your HEAT account you will see the connection indicator in the lower left corner of the bridge turn from disconnected () to connected ().
Ensure that 'Daz' is selected in the program selection drop-down () in the lower left hand corner of the bridge.
In Daz Studio 4 navigate in the top menu bar to 'Window -> Panes (Tabs) -> HEAT Animations'.
Once Daz connects with the HEAT Bridge the HEAT Animations pane will read 'HEAT Bridge is connected'.
Add a Gen 8 or Gen 9 character to your 3D scene.
Select the character that you would like to apply your animation to by clicking on it.
In the HEAT Bridge locate an animation that you would like to pull into your scene and click it.
The animation card will expand to show a full size 3D viewport of the animation with it's title, description, and tags.
A pop-up will appear showing the download from Bridge to Daz.
Once the animation download is complete press the play button at the bottom of the timeline to view your animation!
Next we will go over some more advanced techniques utilizing HEAT within Daz Studio.
Move to the Heat Bridge and make sure you have the program selection drop-down menu set to 'Daz' ().
Click the 'Import' button () in the lower right hand corner of the bridge to send the animation from the HEAT Bridge to your Gen 8 or 9 figure.
