Our products are made predominantly for Poser and DAZ Studio. DAZ Studio has the ability to export to FBX format which can be imported to most top 3d applications.
Some of our products are DAZ Studio only products simply because Poser doesn't have support for all the functionality built into these figures.
We also have some of our products available in iClone format. These products are converted to iClone by Reallusion and we cannot offer any direct support for this format. Please contact Reallusion for an information on this format.

We have created custom Mimic lip sync files (.dmc) for most of our older products. These files are all available at the following link:
Please note: DAZ no longer supports MacOS with their Mimic application, so we aren't able to to create Mimic configuration files for our more recent content.

Although the Poser application has been around for a long time, there are certain industry standard feature that are still not supported by it. Some of these feature include:
Geometry Sub-division
Non-linear Scaling
Dynamic joint positioning
For this reason, products that use these features are unfortunately very limited in Poser.
While we could opt to create these products without these features, cartoon figures rely on the ability to change body part sized and dynamically change the rigging.
At 3D Universe, we are always pushing to add more features to our products that make the user experience even greater. For this reason, we no longer support the Poser application due to it's limitations.

Our products are created to work in Poser (made by Smith Micro) and DAZ Studio (made by DAZ 3D). These programs are 3D CGI rendering and animation software optimized for models that depict human/animal figures and sets or props in three-dimensional form. They are mostly used to pose and animate the figures in a similar way as a mannequin.
Both of these programs allow users to manipulate "ready to use" models and figures. They are aimed at users who are interested in posing human and non-human figures for illustrations and animation, but who do not wish to incur the expense of, or who may be daunted by higher-end 3D and CAD software.
Both programs have a simple user interface allowing the user to add and manipulate models within the scene, add and manipulate morphs (body-shape changes), adjust the textures applied to models, add and adjust lighting and to fine-tune the render process.
Our products come either in a zipped folder format that needs to be extracted to a application-specific location on your computer, or as an installer which will put the files in the correct locations on your computer automatically.
Note: Some of our products are now available in iClone format too, but are not directly supported by 3D Universe as they are converted by Reallusion.

The Toon Generations are a family of characters based on a morph-able toon human figure. The base has the ability to age from baby to elderly, and morph from male to female.
With this figure, it is very easy to create whole families that work well together due to their similar look. With the available add-on packs, the creative possibilities are endless.
We also have a developer pack available that allows you to create your own clothing and add-ons for the figure. The developer pack comes with a licence that allows you to redistribute and sell content created using it. The Toon Generations 2 set of products is now also available which uses DAZ 3D's "Genesis 3" Male and Female figures as a base.

Our products are made specifically for the software packages listed on the store page.
Although most products that work in DAZ Studio do also work in Carrara, this is a feature that DAZ created to work with their software. We do not offer support for it.
Using the FBX export from DAZ Studio enabled use of our products in a wide range of applications that support FBX import. We cannot offer support for all these programs either.
For support on applications other than the applications listed on the product page, please refer to DAZ forums or the application's support site.
