Recommended Character Size
Female: 160–164 cm
Male: 170–174 cm
When creating a character in Vroid Studio, the default body proportions already follow a realistic human body ratio and work well in CineV. If you need to match CineV’s recommended character height, you can adjust it in Body → Body Size from the right-side panel in Vroid Studio.
⚠ Characters with proportions that differ significantly from realistic human anatomy (e.g. chibi-style characters with a head-to-body ratio of approximately 6 heads or less) may appear unnatural in animation, alignment, movement, and camera angles.

This approach gives you more control over character modeling and rigging.
