"Hello,
Could you recommend a book that fully explains how to work with DAZ Studio from beginner to advanced level?"

Believe it or not, there actually is a such thing.



You can buy it on Amazon.

Well, I sometimes forget I was a pirate first, so here's one book. It's old - like beginning of Studio 4 old - but it's a PDF and might get a new DAZ user started...

"No, any good suggestion that helps to get started is great."
has some good tutorials if you're just looking for one-offs. Specifically his lighting stuff as he's often using real-world concepts of lighting and translating them to Daz. Though, his subscription service offers a whole lot more. It's a bit pricier, but you can just download it all and cut off the subscription after:

or


There's a lot of good stuff on YouTube, too, though. So paying for something to learn may not be entirely necessary.

I taught myself Daz through YouTube tutorials, here's a few tubers that are worth checking out. Some of them are a little older now but still mostly relevant. There's plenty more to check out but this should get you a good start.
WP Guru, Daz 3D, Dreamlight3D, Notfrom Thisworld, Rauko, rdaughter Daz and Game Developer Training.
Hope this helps.

has some good videos.

You probably get by, reading this forum, especially this subforum.
DAZ has a lot tools build in, that you probably ignore if you are new to it.

Some more links for beginners:

I use YouTube video tutorials and the forum to discuss topics I didn't find in the videos.

Just a note, the first bullet point under "text tutorials" is a dev-only thread. Don't think anyone without a dev tag is able to access it.
