Why Is The Quickest Way To Create A 3D Virtual World Is With DAZ Studio?

The simple answer is: with one click add an entire 3D Virtual World into the scene or stage. Lots of environment packs come with presets, which effortlessly add an entire modular scene with one action.

Nothing could be easier and more efficient.

It takes just a few seconds to add an entire scene. Another way is to build the virtual world, all the model parts, from scratch, using Carrara, or Hexagon.
Then go through the process of importing it into DAZ Studio. This might sound complicated but it's not. Creating your own 3D virtual world is a lot more work, and will require a certain level of skill, but will be very satisfying.
I started out simple, creating basic rock shapes to eventually building complex models. The tools in Hexagon are simple to learn, but can construct complicated and dynamic geometry without you doing all the work.

To give you an idea of the power delivered in this inexpensive 3D modeling software Hexagon has a wide palette of tools, but not an excessive amounts.

The thing that I love about it is that it is relatively simple to learn, and the 3D modeling tools are specific and easy to find, and use. Many more expensive software solutions have too many tools that I never use.
I love box modeling and Hexagon offers a simple but powerful subdivision tool, so I can add instant smoothness to me 3D virtual world models with a single click.
It also offers Spline tools and surface tools. It also has great UV unwrapping tools and a selection of 3D painting tools. Another cool thing is the ability to paint in displacement, or what is called 3D sculpting mode.
This makes Hexagon great for organic modeling. It even has  ambient occlusion in preview. This is one of my favorite and efficient tools for creating my 3D Virtual worlds fast. Exporting is easy and can be done in several standard formats.
Getting custom models into DAZ Studio can be a process, and that is for a different blog post.
But whether you want to start a new life as a 3D artist creating virtual worlds, or you are only interested in creating your won 3D art, DAZ 3D is without a doubt the place to start! Ever since I started I have become a best-selling 3D artist.
I think anyone can do this. It is satisfying and fun, and an amazing journey into the beautiful world of 3D. Give it a try...
