I want to use daz to create my own character,
I saw some video on yt, but I still cannot figure out how to use DAZ

Daz isn't a modeling program. Think of it as a box holding pre-made assets which you can mix and match together to create something unique. So in order to create your own character, you will need to own morphs and characters (for the skins). Then you can load either the G3 or G8 base and use the shaping tab to access your morphs. I believe there are interactive lessons within Daz studio to help you understand the UI and how the program works. I'd recommend doing those first.

Paintbox

You can get or buy characters.

A character has materials (textures) and shapes (form of the body or face)

You can change materials, but keep the shape. Or you can keep the material and change the shapes.

When you change a shape, this is called morphing, so we also call them morphs.

You can buy morphs in the Daz Store for more shapes you can change.

These are the official videos from Daz, maybe it helps :

Please remember Daz is the name of the company.   Daz Studio  (aka DS) is the name of their flagship program.

Well you have the 5D world and then you have the DAZ community which is fairly self contained and focused around the use of Daz Studio for most. maybe some more info, like what do you want to do with your character and what styles are you looking for? Daz Studio is mainly for creating renders and animations. You can use modeling programs such as Blender to create morphs and props for use in Daz Studio

Thanks all answers,

I want to create a asian character like some in store:
https://www.daz3d.com/sue-character-and-hair-for-genesis-8-female
https://www.daz3d.com/hashimoto-character-and-hair-for-genesis-8-female

So can I create a character like them with morph only (without blender/3dsmax)?

The Sue and Hasmimoto characters are nice because they come with hair.

The answer is yes, you get a complete character. This means you get her textures and her morph (her shape and skin)

You also get the hair, which is a nice bonus, they are usually sold seperately.

You just need Daz Studio to render her, no other programs.

Renders are done with the render engine "Iray" , you need a NVidia Graphics card for that. 

Once you buy one of these, you can just click on the "actor" and it will load into Daz Studio. You can add the hair as well. Nothing else needs to be done. Very easy :)

 

Paintbox

Also have you downloaded Daz Studio already?

It's free and it gives you an example of how it works!

OK, thanks!
I will try to buy them and modify the morph to create my own character !
So, I also need some morph pack for the purpose?

Paintbox

These are the most used for morphs :

https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-female-body-morphs

https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-female-head-morphs

These allow you to change the shape of face and body. But are far more morph packs, maybe other people add their advice for asian ethnicities. I don't know enough of that.

Sevrin

This is another large collection of face morphs, but get the ones Paintbox suggested first.
