Daz Studio

What Daz Studio is

Daz Studio is software for creating photorealistic or fantasy 3D images and animation on Windows and macOS. Genesis supplies rigged characters with mix-and-match clothing and accessories; its morphable figures let users adjust attributes and blend changes from other characters. For creation and rendering, Daz Studio brings together dForce physics, Genesis 9, and NVIDIA Iray. The Filament viewport and render engine supports real-time high-quality rendering and is described as speeding render time by 10x. Keyframe workflows, character animation, physics simulation, and motion capture tools support animation work, with exports in FBX, BVH, COLLADA, Alembic, and MDD. Bridges transfer content to Blender, Unreal, Unity, Cinema 4D, Maya, and 3ds Max. The Daz store has models, characters, environments, props, wearables, textures, shaders, lighting, and animation kits. The free plan requires a Daz 3D account and includes starter content. Daz Studio Premier is $18.98 a month and adds tools for sculpting, shape and pose conversion, render and simulation management, and rig conversion.
