The Best Free 3D Software to Download

Daz Studio

What We Like

  • Includes lots of props and models to use.
  • Strong in animation, image, and film creation tasks.

What We Don’t Like

  • Limited sculpting, modeling, and surfacing tools.
  • Easier to create new models in other 3D software and import for use.

Daz Studio is an image creation tool that comes with a wealth of characters, props, creatures, and buildings that you can arrange and animate to create still images or short films.

The software’s animation and rendering toolset is fairly robust, and in the right hands, users can create impressive shots. However, without a full range of modeling, surfacing, or sculpting tools built in, your content can become limited unless you’re willing to buy 3D assets in the Daz marketplace or create them yourself with a third-party modeling package.

Still, it’s a great piece of software for people who just want to jump in and create a 3D image or film without a whole lot of overhead.
