From Blender guy and relatively new Daz user:
The idea of Daz is to use a ready made model and *possibly* (but it is not peremptory) to modify it to some degree. It is supposed to be modified by:
A) mixing with the corresponding parts of other existing daz models - mixing the face with other faces - thus creating new face, and the body with other bodies thus creating new body (if the existing body doesn't not suits you).
B) using morphs - Daz sells countless packages with ready made morphs and if you decide to go the hard way you create own morphs too - there are tutorials in Utube how to create morphs. Honestly I do not see a reason for this if you are using daz products.
C) of course you can use it as it is (that is the main purpose of buying it) - there are countless ready made models for different tastes. You install Daz and with it the free base models, and then simply "apply" the new model upon the base figure and voila. But keep in mind some ready made models doesn't have genital textures and to get genitals mesh at all you need the Daz model packages marked as PRO. Of course every child and teen related PRO packages doesn't offer genitals. Or you can buy genitals from 3rd party content manufacturers.
If you decide to create entirely new model by sculpting and such this is the way some Daz artists create content for selling (as long as you don't change the mesh of the basic models). And if you are a Blender guy you can use Blender and the http://www.manuelbastioni.com/ great free plugin to create new models from scratch literally for minutes (it can even adapt the bodies to match a background picture) - but the guy doing the plugin does not created genitals for it so it is useless if you plan to make adult stuff. And of course those models doesn't have compatibility with the Daz product so you are all alone if you decide to go this way.
Edit: This is very basic knowledge, but if you start from very beginning and as it is very different from what you do with a software like Blender for example, it may be very frustrating and time consuming to understand the basics. As it was with me:-( The people on the official Daz forum are very friendly and they have a staff member who is watching the topics and always is doing his best to help - but to get a help you have to know what to ask.
