Practice documented: Tafi, the parent company of Daz 3D, announced development of a text-to-3D character engine in June 2023, describing a planned tool that would let users type a text description and receive a fully rigged, export-ready 3D character model built on Daz's Genesis figure platform. As of June 2023, the company was accepting beta program candidates; general availability has not been confirmed by available sources.

Tafi, the parent company of Daz 3D, announced development of a text-to-3D character engine in June 2023, describing a planned tool that would let users type a text description and receive a fully rigged, export-ready 3D character model built on Daz's Genesis figure platform. As of June 2023, the company was accepting beta program candidates; general availability has not been confirmed by available sources.

The engine uses a large labeled dataset derived from the proprietary Genesis character platform — described as capable of generating tens of billions of 3D character variations — to interpret text prompts and assemble 3D characters with correct topology, rigging, and texture. At launch, characters were planned to be exportable to game engines and 3D software including Unreal, Unity, Blender, Maya, and NVIDIA Omniverse. As of June 2023, the company was accepting beta program candidates. The current public availability and general release status of this product could not be confirmed from available sources.

Daz 3D offers licensed synthetic 3D datasets to enterprise customers and AI developers who need structured training data for machine learning models, covering applications such as pose estimation, computer vision, robotics, and human behavior modeling.

Daz 3D maintains a dedicated product page at daz3d.com/ai-training-data where it offers access to its 3D asset library — built over more than 25 years — as structured, labeled training data for external AI developers. The datasets are described as covering human characters with clean topology, rigging, and automatic annotation including segmentation and depth data. Tafi, the parent of Daz 3D, similarly markets these datasets to major technology companies for use in embodied AI, robotics, and multimodal model training. Customers request access rather than self-serve purchase, suggesting an enterprise sales model.
