- DazStudio 3D Modeling and Animation Software
DazStudio is a free, powerful 3D modeling and animation software. The free download comes with basic male and female 3D models, some basic props, and backgrounds. The software also enables you to create your own 3-dimensional shapes and objects. Additionally, thousands of other 3-dimensional characters, objects, scenes, vehicles, tools, etc. for use in DazStudio, can be purchased separately, most at very low prices. But the free stuff is more than you need to get started and will allow you to create high-quality 3D characters, objects and artwork for your games or other digital media. (Note: Daz3D also offers other 3D software and tools, such as Bryce and Carrara, which are not free. These are good and useful products, but the free DazStudio will give you all you need to get started in 3D modeling and animation).
