Read about this on Slashdot. It's a FREE (but not open source) animation tool. Check it out, i'm just downloading it now so i don't know much about it myself.

The DAZ models are huge. They are made for procedural rendering, not real-time animation. Plus, the meshes are restricted from use. Excellent package for 2D games, though. Render your animations, crop, frame, and you're good to go!
