Use VRoid Models in Morfous for Avatar Video Calls
VRoid models work in Morfous for live video calls. Upload your VRoid avatar—whether a free model or one you created—and your camera will drive the character in real time. Your expressions and mouth movement appear on screen as you talk.
What Are VRoid Models
VRoid models are 3D characters made with VRoid Studio, a free tool from Pixiv. They're cartoon-style avatars popular with content creators, streamers, and artists. VRoid characters have a consistent look: expressive faces, stylized proportions, and a wide range of customization options.
You can build your own VRoid character from scratch or download free VRoid models from online communities. Many creators share their models for personal use. Because VRoid avatars are standardized, they work well with apps designed to use them—including Morfous.
How to Use a VRoid Model in Morfous
Upload your VRoid file to Morfous in two formats:
- VRM format: The standard VRoid export. Save your VRoid Studio project as a VRM file and upload it to Morfous.
- GLB format: An alternative 3D format. If you have a VRoid model as a GLB file, Morfous accepts that too.
Once uploaded, your VRoid character stays on your device. No files go to a server. Open the Character Creator, select your VRoid file, and the avatar appears in your next call. Your camera automatically drives the character's face and expressions.
What Happens When You Call
When you start a video call with your VRoid model, your camera does the work. Your facial expressions map to the character's face in real time. When you smile, the avatar smiles. When you talk, its mouth moves. The character copies your head position and angle.
You can also enable arm tracking to mirror your real arms and hands with the character's limbs, or switch to a buttons mode to move the character without a camera. Expression keys let you toggle between neutral, happy, angry, sad, relaxed, and surprised faces on demand.
Who Uses VRoid Models in Morfous
VRoid models in Morfous suit several uses:
- Streamers and VTubers: Use a polished VRoid character for streams, keeping your real camera off while the avatar appears on screen.
- Teachers and counselors: A calm, consistent character presence can help students or clients feel at ease.
- Remote teams: Stand out in video calls with a character that reflects your personality.
- Hobbyists and artists: If you've invested time in a VRoid model, use it for calls with friends and communities.
Because Morfous runs in the browser and pipes into Zoom, Google Meet, or Discord, your VRoid avatar appears wherever your audience meets.
Free VRoid Models vs. Your Own
Free VRoid models from online communities let you start immediately without learning VRoid Studio. Search 'free VRoid models' to find character downloads on sites like Pixiv, Booth, and other creator platforms. Check the usage terms before you use them.
Building your own VRoid character in VRoid Studio takes longer but gives you a unique avatar. VRoid Studio is free. Once made, your custom model uploads to Morfous just like any other VRoid file. Many creators do both: start with a free model to test Morfous, then build a custom character when they're ready.
