DAZ Studio

Daz Studio enables mixing and matching elements from different applications for creating perfect characters and designs, spectacular setups, and vivid scenes.

The 3D software is an extensive suite that incorporates a lot of features and options for designers, animators, and video editors who need to create photo-realistic pictures, film project poses, customize background and setups, and mix and blend distinctive elements and components from other tools such as Cinema 4D, Maya, 3ds Max, or Unreal & Unity package components.

The service and the program itself come packed with DazCentral, a GUI correlated with an organizational system for managing your 3D content, updating your plugins, and keeping your dependencies and components in sync with the latest system and technical requirements.

With DazCentral, users can organize and categorize their resources and content, import previously created items, and sort their animations and objects.

Daz Studio is perfect for people who want to focus on the creation process and minimize the time spent on organizational and logistic tasks. For example, you have the one-click feature that allows opening your 3D content fast, directly in Daz Studio's panel. Also, you have all the editing, 3D instruments, and animation editing utilities well-organized in a compact interface, with adjustable controllers and tables.

The program enables easy imports and exports, in various 3D formats. You can also create complex setups, add different sources of light, play with textures, add virtual cameras, change perspectives, and do so much more. Besides, it offers access to a VFX rendering engine (called 3Delight) and a production-quality ray-tracing rendering engine (called Iray). As a consequence, the character-manipulation tool is well suited for both online and offline work, editing, and rendering.

To summarize, Daz Studio is a complex and powerful application. The tool mainly aimed at creating and editing human models, figures, and objects. However, it is also suitable for non-human object creation, as it has all the basic needed instruments for generating and adapting all sorts of animations and non-animated imagery, in general.
