DAZ 3D Unveils Michael 5

Digital Art Zone (DAZ) announced the newest version of its popular 3D male model, Michael 5 for Genesis. This advanced human model facilitates final renderings that are nearly indistinguishable from photography. Michael 5 follows the successful launch of Victoria 5, and employs the same award-winning Genesis 3D model platform, providing powerful rigging, contour, and pose adjustments to a single base.

Derived from high-resolution body scans, Michael 5 allows characters with different heads, body shapes, genders, ages and races to be morphed and mixed, providing an unmatched platform for limitless character creation. High-resolution photo-realistic skin texture maps showcasing irregularities such as pores, freckles, veins, age and muscle striations produce stunning levels of realism.

“With Michael 5 and Genesis, artists can now create almost any 3D figure imaginable,” said DAZ's CEO, James Thornton. “Combined with DAZ Studio you can create a character, add clothing, hair, environments and animation, and then render or export to your favorite 3D software. Michael 5 is the most realistic, versatile and accurate male 3D model ever.”
