Daz Studio

Daz Studio is a software application developed and offered for free by Daz 3D. It is designed to allow users to manipulate "ready to use" models and figures as well as other supporting 3D content. One of the main differences between Daz Studio and other software applications such as Poser is that Daz 3D has also included support for its various generations of the "Genesis" technology which is used as a basis for its human figures. Daz Studio characters have proven to be very popular over the years and Character Creator offers an effective path to import their likeness.

Format History

• Generation 1 to 4: stand-alone figures comprised of unique meshes, bones, and texture maps. The popularity of generation 4 (e.g. Victoria 4.2 & Michael 4) largely continues due to their compatibility with Poser.
• Generation 5: known as Genesis; These figures move from stand-alone meshes to the use of morphs for unique character creation.
• Generation 6: known as Genesis 2;
• Generation 7: known as Genesis 3;
• Generation 8: the newest generation of characters are all suffixed with the number "8", e.g. Genesis 8, Victoria 8, Micheal 8, etc.

Supported Formats

Character Creator Transformer recognizes and supports the conversion of Genesis, Genesis 2, Genesis 3, and Genesis 8 as well as Victoria 4 and Michael 4. Besides popular Daz formats, Transformer can also work with Hivewire Dawn and Dusk.

Victoria 4 and Michael 4 are also compatible with Poser.
