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 .
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'.
