Greetings from pixiv.

We are glad to announce the release of VRoid Hub, a platform for easily posting and sharing 3D character models.

■ About VRoid Hub

VRoid Hub is a platform that lets anyone upload their own 3D model data and easily share them with other users. You just need a pixiv ID!
Upload a character to VRoid Hub, register their name and create their unique profile page. Enjoy choosing from a vast range of motions and distribute your models to other users by setting specific usage conditions. You can also like other users' models and add them to your collection. Characters you liked can be imported to services linked to VRoid Hub and used on other VR/AR platforms and 3D contents.

VRoid Hub is available in Japanese and English.


■VRoid Hub Features

1. Upload your 3D model data and make your characters move and come alive!

Upload the model data you created on VRoid Hub to see your characters come alive thanks to a range of cute, readymade motions.
Energetic, cool, graceful; these are only a few of the available motions, so you can create a profile page that suits the character's personality. Profile pages can also feature a name, personality traits, the character's setting, and social media links!
Animate, enlarge, reduce and preview models with a single web browser.

On VRoid Hub, you can post VRM (2) model data created with pixiv's 3D character maker VRoid Studio (1) and other 3D modeling tools. Contents can be uploaded directly from VRoid Studio or from web browsers!

(1) VRoid Studio is an application for Windows and Mac to create 3D models of humanoid avatars (characters). VRoid Studio can be used for free even by people with no modeling knowledge; its intuitive controls make creating full-scale 3D characters easier than ever. Character models created with VRoid Studio are available on various VR/AR contents as avatars, both for commercial and non-commercial use.

(2) VRM format: Generic file format for 3D avatars. For details about VRM, please visit https://dwango.github.io/en/vrm/


2. Set unique usage conditions for 3D characters to share them with others!

By setting a model's usage conditions on VRoid Hub, you can make it available to other users.
The copyright of the submitted 3D model data still belongs to the author, who can allow other users to download their models under specific usage conditions. Make your characters available for download and increase the range of action of your 3D characters!

3. Enjoy characters available on VRoid Hub on other linked services!

Just log in with your pixiv account to a service linked to VRoid Hub thanks to our SDK (3) and enjoy your favorite characters whenever, wherever! We already offer linkage with SHOWROOM V (4), so have fun importing the characters you liked on VRoid Hub. We're planning to link even more services in the future!

(3) SDK: If you're a developer interested in ""VRoid SDK"", a software development kit allowing linkage with VRoid Hub, please see the info below.
Inquiries regarding the provision of VRoid SDK

(4) SHOWROOM V: a live video streaming iPhone app provided by SHOWROOM Inc., where users can broadcast streams using virtual characters as avatars.

From flat illustrations to 3D; from 3D data to characters.

Through the VRoid project, pixiv aims to contribute to the creation of a world where everyone has their own characters, who can communicate with each other in various creative environments. We hope VRoid Studio will help our users to turn their illustrations into 3D models, and that VRoid Hub will facilitate the transformation from 3D models to complete characters.
