Build a Personal 3D Character
CUSTOM CAST puts character making at the center of the experience. Start from a preset model, then shape a recognizable avatar by choosing a face type, hairstyle, body proportions, skin tone, costume, and accessories. The broad part-by-part workflow suits creators who want a consistent original character without learning a full 3D modeling package.
Color and size controls help refine the look beyond a single preset, so a character can move from a casual outfit to a themed design while keeping the same identity. Saving multiple models also makes it practical to keep separate personas for streaming, social posts, role-play ideas, or personal experiments.
Dress Up, Pose, and Share
Once a model is built, CUSTOM CAST turns it into a reusable visual character. Switch hairstyles and outfits, change expressions, and set poses to create a different mood for each image. Multiple saved characters let users compare designs or keep several avatars ready for separate online identities.
The image workflow extends past the model editor: users can capture a posed character, add stickers and frames, and share the finished result through social platforms. That combination works well for profile art, announcement posts, fan-created scenes, or quick creative updates when a full video production would be unnecessary. It keeps a small idea easy to finish on a phone.
Face Tracking, Gyro, and Flick Motion
For creators who want more than a still image, the app can use the phone camera to detect facial movement and pass actions to the 3D character. Tilting or turning your head can make the avatar respond, creating a more expressive presence for a live or recorded performance.
Gyro controls add another layer of movement, while flick actions trigger defined poses or gestures without complicated controls. These inputs make the character feel less like a static illustration and more like a responsive host, presenter, or virtual persona that can react naturally during a streaming session. They are suited to short clips as well as longer broadcasts.
Niconico Live Streaming Workflow
CUSTOM CAST can sit at the front of a virtual-streaming workflow: prepare the avatar, choose a background and motion style, then hand the broadcast setup to the Niconico Live app on Android. The character becomes the visual identity while the companion streaming service handles the live-program controls.
An internet connection and the Niconico Live app are needed for this broadcast route, so it fits creators who already work with online streaming tools. Users who prefer polished still content can stay with poses, stickers, frames, and social sharing, while streamers can reuse the same character across several kinds of creator output. This keeps one design useful beyond a single post.
