Product snapshot
Custom Cast (from DWANGO Co., Ltd.) is a mobile utility that lets you build personalized 3D characters. You can fine-tune their appearance, capture images, decorate with stickers, and share creations on social networks such as Twitter. The app follows a freemium model: many tools are free to use, while some advanced options require payment.
What you can customize
- Accessories and extra props (glasses, headwear, jewelry)
- Skin tone and coloring options
- Hairstyles and hair colors
- Outfits and wardrobe pieces
- Facial features and expression presets
How to use your character across apps and streams
Set your finished model as an avatar for social accounts or use it during live streams. The app can track your face with your device camera so the character mimics head turns and tilts. You can also save screenshots, add stickers to images, and upload them to platforms like Twitter.
Interactive streaming features
- Motion mirroring: the avatar follows real-time head movement captured by your camera.
- Gyro support: enable device gyro to create more immersive camera-based movement.
- Pose controls (Flicks): trigger specific stances and gestures on command.
- AR integration: on compatible iPhones (X and later), blend the character into the real world for mixed-reality streams.
Pricing and alternatives
Custom Cast is distributed under a freemium license—basic tools are free, while premium items or functions may be paywalled or available via in-app purchases. If you prefer a simpler, cartoon-style avatar maker, consider trying FaceQ as an alternative.
Summary
Custom Cast is a flexible and playful 3D character creator built for sharing and live performance. It offers extensive visual customization, real-time motion capture for streaming, and simple sharing tools to showcase your creations online.
