In 2012, Daz 3D shifted their strategy from selling 3D software and content to one of giving the software away for free and focusing more on the selling of the content. In 2016, Daz 3D spun off Tafi, a 3D-content company intended to focus more on the game developer market.

The company no longer uses that name, and does not treat 'Daz' as an acronym for it. Originally a part of Zygote Media Group, a general purpose, application-agnostic broker of 3D content, Daz 3D split off as Digital Art Zone in 2000 to focus on supplying content for the Poser market. Īdditionally, Daz 3D developed their own scene creator software, Daz Studio, as an alternative to Poser.

Carrara, a general purpose 3D modeler/animation package also acquired from Eovia in 2006.

Hexagon, a 3D mesh modeler originally developed by Eovia, acquired by Daz 3D in 2006.

Bryce, a fractal-based landscape modeler and renderer acquired from Corel by Daz 3D in 2004.

Daz 3D has continued to focus on 3D-content development, but has also expanded their own software offerings as well, with purchases of several notable 3D applications: (commonly known as Daz 3D, stylized Daz 3D or DAZ 3D in some logos) is a 3D-content and software company specializing in providing rigged 3D human models, associated accessory content, and software to the hobbyist as well as the prosumer market.ĭaz 3D has a library of over 5 million assets for Daz Studio and other applications that allow users to create high-quality exportable 3D renders and animations.
