New Update

Digital Art Zone (DAZ) Studio is a feature rich 3D and animation program for

3D artists to create eye-catching digital imagery. You can dress up your model,

develop various shapes and bend the model into virtual actors. DAZ Studio comes

with a collection of 3D models. You can use the tool to create and design images

of mountains, rivers, forests, etc using 3D modeling and texturing tools. The

picture based interface PowerPose enables you to pose your object in several

ways. You don't need to twist and turn camera angles to adjust various body

parts.
