ABAS is an Animated Shaders System for Daz Studio. Now, you can animate the properties of the surface shaders of any geometric object. You can animate the colors, the sliders of properties, and others.

Any surface shader that can be edited in the Daz Studio Surfaces Pane is suitable for animation with ABAS. Note: ABAS cannot animate the image maps themselves and other non-standard custom properties; however, the remaining properties of the shader are still animatable. ABAS does not work with Octane renders.

• 2024-08-23 Fixed a bug that precludes the use of names of images series starting with “jpg”, “jp”, “pg”, “j”, “p”, and “g” (pg001.jpg, pg002.jpg… caused problems, for example)

• 2022-11-16 Fixed a bug that precludes the use of numbers in the folders in the path of maps of files in some cases: For example, for a png series image00.png, image01.png, etc., the folders “/image05/” or “/series 01/” caused the plugin cannot locate some of the files.
  • Now the user can prevent the plugin from trying to animate undesirables mapped or file properties, by locking them in the Animated Shader.
