Who is DAZDAZ 3D is a leading marketer of 3D art content and 3D software, serving a worldwide market of graphic artists.

Using a ‘freemium’ business model, DAZ offers powerful 3D software for free and sells 3D art models and tools to a growing & active community.

DAZ partners with some of the most talented artists in the world and is developing the brand and infrastructure to be the best source for 3D content in the world.

The best-selling human figures in the world...

MALE AND FEMALE BASES

• Parametric• Catmull-Clark Subdivision• Dual Quaternion Skinning• ~ 17,000 polygons base

MORPHING

Take advantage of powerful morphing capabilities – Combine various body and extremity shapes, sizes, and muscularity in order to build your one-of-a-kind person or creature.

INCREDIBLE DETAIL

The more detailed a character is, the more realistic and life-like it becomes. With Genesis 3's HD morphs, we've improved the levels of detail on some of the most critical body parts including the face, mouth, teeth, hands, feet, chest and neck. These advancements combined make Genesis 3 more true-to-life than has ever been seen in a morphable human 3D figure.

FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

Genesis 3 captures facial expression in a very life-like way, the movable jaw and increased facial polygons and eye reflection mesh makes for incredibly life-like characters that truly convey emotions. It also has twice as many points of articulation as ever before, for even greater expression capabilities.

ARTICULATION

No matter how life-like a figure is, it requires the ability to move in a realistic way. With Genesis 3, the levels of articulation are one of the most significant improvements. For example, Genesis 3 allows for individual movement of ears, toes, neck, chest, abdomen, etc., as well as reworked weight mapping, resulting in more realistic and advanced posing over previous generations.
