Daz Studio is a 3D scene creation and rendering application that can be used to produce images and videos.

[2] Daz 3D has had many versions of its human figures and characters, but in 2011, they launched a significant change in the underlying technology.

Genesis 8 also includes significant changes in the figure's backward compatibility with previous generations and their content, as well as Joint and muscle bends and flexing and facial expressions.

Daz Studio is designed to allow users to manipulate relatively ready-to-use models and figures as well as other supporting 3D content.

It is aimed at users who are interested in posing human and non-human figures for illustrations and animation.

Daz 3D follows the "Razor and blades business model"; Daz Studio is the "razor", a free-of-charge core program with the required features for the creation of imagery and animations, while relegating other features to the "blades", add-on plug-ins, usually commercial, which the user may add.
