Developer’s Description

Pose, animate, render 3D models in your own 3D studio.

DAZ Studio is the perfect tool to design unique digital art and animations using virtual people, animals, props, vehicles, accessories, environments and more. Simply select your subject and/or setting, arrange accessories, setup lighting, and begin creating beautiful artwork. Inheriting the best of version 4, DAZ Studio 4.5 introduces a new look and feel focused on ease-of-use. There are new video tutorials included within the application to help users get up to speed quickly, along with many technological innovations to improve the creation experience. While compatible with past versions of 3D models and add-ons, DAZ Studio 4.5 enables the next generation of figures from DAZ 3D, the GenesisTM series. The Genesis series facilitates a whole new paradigm of figure creation, customization, and sharing.

Nothing special.
DaddioOnThePaddioDecember 12, 2010
Pros
The price was right on target...free!
Cons
Insufficient power to do anything more than basic 3D stuff. The app is a marketing too for suckers to purchase additional art.
Summary
If you are looking for a flexible 3D program, this ain't it. DOn't look for 2D to 3D converters or anything the slight bit sophisticated. The functionality is basic, but the degree of command complexity is significant. Not for the faint of heart. I am still looking!
Very good program
ice2642May 31, 2010
Pros
Free, powerfull, lot of features, many documentation and sites about use.
Cons
I do note see any cons in this program.
Summary
DAZ is an awesome product
WyldAngelDecember 30, 2009
Pros
DAZ is somewhat easier to use than Poser, though I am trying to learn Poser on my own.
Cons
The new DAZ program is giving me a problem by not accepting the link to the products to use in the program.
Summary
I have used all of the earlier versions of DAZ and haven't had any problems really moving from one version to the next. With version 3, I am having the hardest time to get the program to link to the folders with the models and accessories in. I would really love to be able to create again, but this is making it impossible, and none of the older versions with will. They all ask for the update. If anyone knows of a FREE online class situation teaching DAZ 3 from the very beginning, feel free to let me know.
Trialware not freeware

Pros
Cons
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This should be listed as shareware. Shareware you use and then pay. Same here. Just want to get you to use it. If you do not use shareware then you don't pay. Same here. Please recategorize your software. Freeware never requires money except a donation to use as long as you want.
Smoother, faster, easier
Random_WalkJuly 11, 2009
Pros
Smoother, faster, and more comprehensive than previous versions. Still very friendly to system resources.
Cons
tab behavior is slightly different than before, and there's a free vs. paid-for version now. May need OpenGL upgrade on your machine.
Summary
Version 3 is a vast improvement on its predecessors in usability, speed, and features. More advanced lighting is included now, and there are a lot of exciting features that operate smoothly. The only cons are the still-present learning curve (though this is common in all CG apps of this class), and there is a niggling behavior with the tool tabs in that they don't stack up as tightly as they used to (this is only a personal nitpick, however). If your version of OpenGL doesn't meet minimums (you can find out via your video card driver documentation), you may have to upgrade your vidcard driver to catch up.
Clean user friendly interface that responds quickly
HaroldEBJune 23, 2009
Pros
User friendly interface. Responds faster than Poser 7.
Cons
Not very fault tolerant. I've crashed the program two of the four times I've used it so far. Doesn't support the textures supplied with some content.
Summary
A very good introduction to 3D and the price can't be beat,
does not work on MacOSX because of the OpenGL version
mcherveJune 23, 2009
Pros
none pros, it doesn't even launch
Cons

Read the FAQ before bashing this product.
jchery1May 30, 2009
Pros
I love it. I can do animation as easy as drinking water.
Cons
I don't really have anything cons except if we could model ourselves, that would be great.
Summary
I love this product because it is easy to use and the best of all it is free.
Beginners nightmare. Deserves ZERO stars.
peterwhickmanMay 18, 2009
Pros
I can't think of anything to like in a product that doesn't work.
Cons
Wouldn't download properly on my Intel Mac, Error reading files message. Viewport remains empty even after downloading figures. Default figures not appearing. Can't find any files. Dynamic Clothing not available on Mac. Unfriendly to beginners.
Summary
DAZ Studio will NOT run
jesseppsJanuary 9, 2009
Pros
Impossible to evaluate because it will NOT run.
Cons
DAZ Studio installer requires the user to click "IGNORE" permissions changes fifteen (15) times before it will install. Why?
Summary
Impossible to evaluate because it will NOT run.
