Daz Studio (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! DAZ Studio is a 3D figure illustration/animation application released by DAZ 3D Inc. It is compatible with most files intended for use by Poser. It is available free of charge (registration required). Version 1.0 was released in Fall 2005. Version 3.0.1.135 is the current release as of 06 July 2009. Until version 1.7 it was officially known as DAZ-Studio.Unlike most 3D software, where 3D objects are usually created from scratch, DAZ Studio is designed to allow users to manipulate "ready to use" models and figures. It is aimed at users who are interested in posing human and non-human figures for illustrations and animation, but who do not wish to incur the expense of, or who may be daunted by higher-end 3D and CAD software. It was created as a direct alternative to Poser by DAZ Productions, the company that (as Zygote) created the built-in content for earlier versions of Poser.
