DAZ 3D Inc - formerly DAZ Productions, commonly referred to simply as "DAZ" ( (Digital Art Zone) - is a developer and broker of 3D graphics software and content. DAZ is notable for its business model of giving away a product (DAZ Studio) and generating profit from digital content sold in its large web-based marketplace to be used with the software - DAZ originated as a division of Zygote Media Group, Inc. creating content for the application Poser. In December 2000, DAZ branched off from Zygote, and became a freestanding corporation.

In 2007- the company changed its name to " DAZ 3D" to match its website and to better clarify its identity.
In December 2009 it was announced that DAZ had merged with Gizmoz, a developer of 3D face-mapping technology and 3D avatars for use in virtual worlds.

The "Victoria" figures line is the most well-known and has been in development since 1999. The figures can be loaded into 3D posing and rendering applications - such as DAZ's own DAZ Studio or Smith Micro's Poser - to be animated or posed and then rendered. In addition - a wide variety of hair, clothing and other accessories are available for purchase which can be applied to the figures to achieve different looks.
A variety of other support content is available from DAZ as well including such categories as buildings, vehicles, trees and plants, weapons, furniture, etc.

DAZ also brokers and develops a number of other 3D related applications and products.

Main applications:

DAZ Studio: free application for posing, animating articulated and rendering 3D figures.
Carrara: general purpose 3D suite including modeling, animation and rendering.
Bryce: 3D modeling, animation and rendering program specializing in fractal landscapes.
Hexagon: subdivision modeler with 3D painting features.
Mimic Lip Sync Studio: special utility for generating lip synced animation with Poser or LightWave figures.

DAZ's main figures:

all characters listed are but scales of the two main Unimesh male and female models - Victoria and Michael in respective gender. Before in the 3rd Generation, all characters were separate base figures of their own unique anatomical proportions, mostly as either an exploration of diverse body styles or merely the response to complaints addressed about the original structures of Michael and Victoria.

Genesis

a unisex model that can be fitted with various morphs and textures to create female and male figures, as well as fantasy creatures, children, and animals.

Female Figures

Victoria : realistic woman based on the proportions of a runway model - DAZ's most popular and well supported figure.
Stephanie Petite : A sister figure with a self-explanitory surname created to correct the stockier proportions of Victoria.
The Girl : A cartoonish-styled female that resembles classic 1940's idealism with features such as a tiny waistline and broad hips as well as facial features that include exaggeratedly small eyes and extruded cheeks.
Aiko : An anime-styled female with a much smaller body frame and a significantly larger head and eyes.

Male Figures

Michael : realistic male equivalent for Victoria.
David : The male equivalent for Stephanie Petite. However, David has been discontinued from further development and user vendoring due to the corrections made in Michael 4.
Hiro : The male anime equivalent for Aiko.
The Freak : A male figure with super-human size bulging muscles in an unrealistically exaggerated equivalence to the Girl.

Child Figures

Like the adult model David, just about all of the non-adult characters have been discontinued in any further development or vendoring due to the Unimesh figure of the Kids, a unisex toddler-like figure morphable to user gender preference and the only other original Generation 4 base figure separate from Michael & Victoria. As previously stated, all listed characters are Generation 3 models, but in this case created in the basic age ranges of childhood.

Matt and Madison : Male and female pre-school figures sold as a set and the original identities of the Kids.
Millennium Baby : An unnamed asexual infant.
Luke and Laura : Male and female teen figures sold as a set.

Creature Figures

A small list of a wider variety of creatures include:

Millennium Dragon : A detailed mythological dragon.
Trogolyte : Similar to troll but bigger in size.
Goblin : A Goblin.
Troll : A monstrous bipedal creature.
Angor :A goat-like bipedal creature.

Animal Figures

Realistic animal models of the following:

Millennium Dog : A dog figure which can be configured into different breeds.
Millennium Cat : A cat figure which can be configured into different breeds.
Millennium Horse : A horse figure which can be configured into different breeds.

Descriptions:

Poser is a 3D rendering software package for the posing, animating and rendering , poser software optimized for models that depict the human in 3D form, mostly used to form and move the figures in a manner similar to a mannequin. The program has gained popularity for allowing beginners to produce animation and digital images, and wide availability of third-party digital models.

Poser allows the user to load figures, lighting , props and cameras for still and animated renderings.

Poser comes with a large library of pre-rigged human, animal, cartoon figures and robotic. The package also includes library of pre-built, ready to use content including poses, materials, props, facial expressions, hand poses, hair pieces, lights, cameras and scenes - As Poser itself does not allow for original modeling of objects, a large community market of merchants and artists creating, selling and marketing third-party Poser content emerged, but these new models are usually crafted in ZBrush, modo, Blender or 3DS Max.

Poser's interface has evolved since the product's introduction in 1995. The current Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012 versions preserve many elements of the application interface - so that legacy users can move into the newest version and navigate the application without the trouble of re-learning program's controls.

Descriptions:

Autodesk 3ds Max, a 3D graphics program for making models, animation, and images , was developed and produced by "Autodesk" Media and Entertainment, previously was called 3d studio Max, the program has a flexible plugin architecture and can be used in windows operating system environment, and is often used by video game developers and architectural photography studios and television studios, It is also used in the making of movie effects.

the latest version of 3ds Max also features shaders, particle systems, dynamic simulation, radiosity, global illumination, a customizable user interface, normal map creation and rendering, and its own scripting language.

Features

MAXScript: Used to automate repetitive tasks, combine betwen existing functionality in new ways, plugin modules can be created entirely within MAXScript and much more.

Character Studio: Plugin which since version 4 of Max is now integrated in 3D Studio Max, it helping users to animate virtual characters - works by using a character rig (Biped) skeleton which has stock settings that can be modified and customized to the fit character meshes and animation needs - Character studio also includes robust editing tools for IK/FK switching, Layers and Keyframing workflows, Pose manipulation, and sharing of animation data across different rig skeletons. These "Biped" ( rig) objects have other useful features that help accelerate the production of walk cycles and movement paths, as well as secondary motion.

DWG import and linking: 3ds Max supports both import and linking of DWG files and Improved memory management in 3ds Max 2008 enables larger scenes to be imported with multiple objects.

Scene Explorer: A tool that facilitates working with more complex scenes, provides a hierarchical view of scene data and analysis. search a scene by any object type or property (including metadata),and Scene Explorer has the ability to sort, filter. Added in 3ds Max 2008, it was the first component to facilitate .NET managed code in 3ds Max outside of MAXScript.

Texture assignment/editing: The 3ds Max offers operations for creative texture and planar mapping, including mirroring, tiling, decals, angle, rotate, blur, UV stretching, and relaxation - Preserve UV and UV template image export - Remove Distortion . The texture workflow includes ability to combine an unlimited number of textures, a material-map browser with support for drag-and-drop assignment, and hierarchies with thumbnails. UV workflow features include Pelt mapping, which defines custom seams and enables users to unfold UVs according to those seams - copy/paste materials - maps and colors, and access to quick mapping types (box, cylindrical, spherical).

General keyframing: A Two keying modes: set key and auto key - offer support for different keyframing workflows. intuitive and Fast controls for keyframing and including copy/paste, cut ... let the user create an ease animations.

Constrained animation: Objects can be animated along curves with controls for banking, velocity, alignment, smoothness and looping - and along surfaces with controls for alignment. Weight path-controlled animation between multiple curves, and animate the weight.

3ds Max for Games: Autodesk 3ds Max is a powerful, accessible 3D modeling, animation, compositing package and rendering. also a favorite among character animators and game artists. The 3ds Max offers:

   1- Ready to use template-based character rigging systems
   2- Extensible development environment with support for C++ and .NET
   3- A comprehensive polygon modeling, UV editing, and texture painting toolset
   4- Advanced hardware shader and dynamics capabilities, including NVIDIA PhysX integration, viewport preview and rendering of HLSL, and normal map and light map generation
   5- A vast community of experienced artists and developers to support game development

3ds Max for Television: Autodesk 3ds Max has 3d capabilities to motion graphics, short-form post content, and episodic television projects.
