I’ve been using DAZ Studio since Version 2.0, when Victoria 4.2 had just come out. Back then Michael 3 was still “the man” and M4 hadn’t yet existed. Those were my first steps I made in the scary world of 3D.
Daz Studio 3 was in beta, and 4 was released quickly after that. It’s been around for well over a decade, and we still have today. Version 5 is probably just around the corner.
So far I've written 182 articles related to DAZ Studio for this site.
Here's a huge long list of every single one. If you prefer a view with teaser content and pictures, take a look at the DAZ Studio Archives.
