Thanks to the Import/Export Custom Items feature, you can easily incorporate or share your custom items.

For example, you can import an outfit purchased on BOOTH and make your model wear it, or you can export an outfit you created to sell it on BOOTH or share it with others. 

Importing custom items

To import custom items, click "Import Custom Items" in the upper left menu or "Import" in the Custom Items tab of each item category.

Either method will take you to the corresponding item category tab, depending on the custom item you are importing.

Select and open the custom item file (*.vroidcustomitem) you wish to import from your computer or iPad.

When you successfully import an item, a pop-up window will appear.
If you'd like the imported item to appear on your model right away, select "Wear now".
If not, choose "Wear later".

*For accessories only, the item will be automatically worn without a pop-up. To remove it, either hide it temporarily or delete the accessory from the model.

The item you imported will be saved as a custom item, and from now on, you'll  be able to select it from the Custom Items tab to use on other models. 

*Accessories cannot be saved within VRoid Studio, so please import them separately for each model.

You can freely edit custom items you imported, as you would regular items.

Refer to the help page below to learn about editing custom items.

Exporting custom items

To export a custom item, first select the item you wish to export. Then right-click (or tap twice, on the iPad) on the selected item to open a menu.

You cannot rename or export an item unless you select it first.

You can change the displayed name from "Rename" in the menu that appears by right-clicking (or tapping twice, on the iPad).
This will be the name that will be shown when someone imports the item.

You can export the item after setting a file name and location from "Save and Export Custom Item" in the menu that appears by right-clicking (or tapping twice, on the iPad).

When you successfully export an item, a *.vroidcustomitem file will be saved in the specified location.

*When editing outfits, you can export multiple templates as a single layered Custom Item. However, in the accessory editor, you cannot save multiple accessories as a single Custom Item. Please keep this in mind.

Custom items information

The custom items you import or export contain several types of information.
See the table below for a detailed description of this information.

*The information stored in a custom item depends on the item's category. Information that doesn't include parameter settings is not stored. For example, Eyelids, Base Hair in Hairstyle, and Loafers in Shoes don't include parameter settings, so their parameters aren't included in their custom item information either.
