Customizable VTuber Models
You can buy a ready-made VTuber model on Booth or Gumroad for $0–$80, build one yourself for free in VRoid Studio, or commission an artist for $500–$10,000+. The fourth option is generating one: VTubeMe turns a selfie into a rigged 3D VRM for a one-time $7.99, with hair, outfits, and colours adjustable in the browser and unlimited free re-edits.
| Where | Price | What you can change | Format | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VTubeMe (selfie → VRM) | $7.99 one-time | Face from your photo; preset hair, outfits, skin tone | VRM + GLB | Minutes |
| Booth (booth.pm) | $0–$80 | Whatever the artist shipped; edit in Blender/Unity yourself | VRM, sometimes FBX/PSD | Instant download |
| Gumroad | $0–$60 | Varies by seller; texture swaps common | VRM, FBX | Instant download |
| VRoid Studio (DIY) | Free | Full — you build every parameter yourself | VRM | Hours–days |
| Commissioned artist | $500–$10,000+ | Unlimited — designed to your brief | Live2D, VRM, or FBX | 2–8 weeks |
Marketplace prices are typical 2026 listings and vary widely by artist. Licences vary too — check each listing before streaming commercially.
Premade, customizable, or custom?
The three words get used interchangeably and mean quite different things, which is why quotes and expectations so often miss each other:
- Premade — finished and sold as-is. You get the artist's design exactly; changing it means Blender or Unity. Cheapest and fastest, but somebody else may be streaming with the same face.
- Customizable — parameters you can change without 3D software: hair, outfit, colours, accessories. This is what most people actually want when they search for a “custom” model.
- Custom (commissioned) — designed from scratch by an artist to your brief. Unlimited creative control, $500–$10,000+ and weeks of waiting.
VTubeMe sits in the middle band: the face is generated from your photo, so it is unique to you rather than shared with every other buyer, and everything around it is adjustable in the browser. Re-editing and re-downloading are free forever.
Where to buy VTuber models
- Booth — the largest VRM marketplace, run by Pixiv. Japanese-language but ships worldwide and takes international cards. The deepest catalogue by far, especially for anime-style models.
- Gumroad — where a lot of Western VTuber artists sell. Smaller catalogue, easier checkout, licences stated in plain English.
- VRoid Hub — free community models, useful for testing your setup before you spend anything.
- Fiverr, Skeb, VTuber Discords — where commissions actually get arranged, if you decide you want bespoke.
- Our own free VRM models — a handful of ready-made avatars you can download and stream with at no cost.
FAQ
Where can I buy a VTuber model?
The two biggest marketplaces for ready-made VRM models are Booth (booth.pm, Japanese but ships worldwide) and Gumroad, where independent artists sell models from roughly $0 to $80. VRoid Hub hosts free community models. For a model based on your own face rather than someone else's design, VTubeMe generates one from a selfie for a one-time $7.99.
What's the difference between a premade and a customizable VTuber model?
A premade model is finished — you download exactly what the artist made, and changing it means opening Blender or Unity. A customizable model exposes parameters you can change without 3D software: hair, outfit, colours, accessories. VTubeMe is customizable in that sense — the face comes from your photo and everything else is adjustable in the browser, with unlimited free re-edits.
How much do VTuber models for sale cost?
Ready-made VRM models on Booth and Gumroad typically run $0–$80. Commissioned models start around $500 and reach $10,000+ for fully bespoke rigged 3D. VTubeMe sits between them at $7.99 for a photorealistic, already-rigged VRM generated from your selfie.
Can I use a bought VTuber model commercially?
It depends entirely on the seller's licence — many Booth and Gumroad models restrict commercial streaming, monetisation, or modification, and you have to read each listing. VTubeMe includes commercial use with every model, so there is no per-listing licence to check.
Do I need a premade model, or can I make my own?
If you want a specific art style or an original character, buy or commission one. If you want a model that looks like you and works today, generating one is faster and cheaper. Our step-by-step walkthrough covers the whole process from photo to live stream.
