The 3D Live Recording and Exhibition Project is an open application for up to 10 VTubers or VSingers, with fan voting selecting one act for a professional motion-capture 3D live shown in VRChat. Applications opened August 26 and close September 4.
The project, run by Metaverse Creators, opened applications on August 26, 2026. Up to 10 VTuber or VSinger acts can apply by September 4. A fan voting campaign will determine the top-supported act, who will record a 3D live at Dai Nippon Printing's professional motion capture studio in Ichigaya, Tokyo. The finished recording will be exhibited inside VRChat, and the act also receives the recorded live data for use on platforms like X or YouTube.
This project is one of several recent developments using 3D technology to create personalized or collectible products. Around the same period, DIFF., a Mizuno spin-off, launched DIFF.3D shoes that are auto-designed from 3D foot scans and 3D-printed without molds, priced at 25,000 yen. Bandai also released a gashapon line of MLB 3D uniform charms featuring players like Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. These projects share a focus on turning digital 3D data into tangible or interactive experiences.
The project stands apart from these product launches because it centers on live performance and fan selection. It offers a selected VTuber or VSinger access to professional motion capture equipment and a VRChat exhibition, a format that differs from the commercial goods tied to the other 3D projects.

DIFF., the Mizuno spin-off founded in 2022, began selling DIFF.3D on September 1, 2026. The shoe is auto-designed from 3D foot scans via the DIFF.ENGINE system and manufactured with 3D printing, no molds. Price is 25,000 yen excluding tax, delivery about 10 days after foot data is confirmed. Traditional full-order shoes in Japan run about 200,000 yen and take over three months.
