About Daz Studio
Daz Studio is built around the Genesis family of fully rigged figures, from realistic humans to toon styles and creatures. You can morph and combine figure shapes, dress them with clothing that fits any body shape, add hair and props, and pose, animate and render the scene.
It pairs with the Daz Install Manager for organising content bought from the Daz store, and bridges export figures to Blender, Maya, Unreal, Unity, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D and Roblox. Downloading requires a free account.
