Downloading and Install Daz Studio Pro for Character Animation


For professional 3D character modeling and animation, be sure to check out the 3D software packages from
DAZ 3D, located at daz3d.com, when you have the chance. The current version of DAZ Studio PRO is 4.9,
and yes, it is free! You have to log in and sign up, like you did for Black Magic Design software, but that is a
small price to pay! There is also a free 3D modeling software package on this website called Hexagon. The
most expensive software on the DAZ 3D website is Carrara ($150) or Carrara Pro ($285). DAZ Studio makes
most of their revenues selling character models of one type or another, so check them out, as they are a force
to be reckoned with in the 3D content (virtual) world!
