See DAZ Studio in Action
What is DAZ Studio?
Choose from thousands of 3D people, creatures, buildings and props to place into your scene or “photo shoot”. Then dress them, pose them, and give them expressions. Once the stage is set, adjust lighting and camera angles and start snapping your amazing images. Best of all! Ownership of these images belongs to you. Use them as book covers, posters, or banners. Whatever you want. They're all yours to do with and sell as you like. You can now be the artist producing jaw-dropping scenes.

What is 3D?
When we say "3D", we don't mean special glasses or pictures that you have to look at cross-eyed to see the "hidden message". What we DO mean is the ability to take people, buildings, and models and move them around in a virtual environment as easily as if you were holding them in your hands.
