Daz Studio
Daz Studio is a 3D creation program for making photorealistic or fantasy images and animation on Windows and macOS. Its free plan requires a Daz 3D account and includes starter content. Genesis provides rigged characters with mix-and-match clothing and accessories; users can change figure attributes and blend traits from other characters. Daz Studio brings together dForce physics, Genesis 9 and NVIDIA Iray for 3D creation, images and animation. Filament provides a real-time viewport and render engine, which Daz describes as speeding render time by 10x. Animation features include keyframes, character animation, physics simulation and motion capture tools, with export formats including FBX, BVH, COLLADA, Alembic and MDD. Bridges transfer content to Blender, Unreal, Unity, Cinema 4D, Maya and 3ds Max. The Daz store offers models, characters, environments, props, wearables, textures, shaders, lighting and animation kits. Premier adds geometry sculpting, shape and pose tools, render and simulation management, rig conversion and direct export of environment scenes to Blender.
