ZEPETO Character import Guide

CineV2026-02-06

CineV allows you to import your ZEPETO character that is set as your Main Character.

Character creation and editing must be done only in the ZEPETO app. CineV is used solely to connect your ZEPETO account and import your current Main Character.

CineV does not provide tools to create or edit ZEPETO characters.

CineV uses the following engine environment, which may affect rendering and material behavior.

  • Rendering Engine: Unreal Engine 5.7

ZEPETO characters can be imported from the My Characters menu.

All imported characters are managed together in one place.

  • My Characters is where you manage

    • VRM characters

    • lmage-to-Character

    • ZEPETO characters

  • Open My Characters

  • Click Import ZEPETO Character

  • Click Add Character, then ZEPETO login popup will appear.

  • Log in using your ZEPETO account.

  • Review the requested permissions

  • Approve access to continue

Once authentication is complete, CineV will automatically load your ZEPETO Main Character.

  • Your current ZEPETO Main Character will be imported automatically.

  • No character selection is required.

  • Click Import to start processing.

If you change your Main character in ZEPETO later, you must re-import to use the updated character in CineV.

1) Character Name

  • Must be English only

  • Maximum length: 20 characters

  • Duplicate names are allowed

2) Gender

  • Select the character’s body type

    • Affects body proportions

    • Cannot be changed after creation

3) Scale

Choose how your character’s size is applied in CineV.

  • Fit to CineV Scale (Recommended)

: Adjusts the character to match CineV’s original character scale.

  • Fully compatible with all interactions and objects

  • Helps animations and motions look more natural

  • Recommended for most characters

  • Keep Original Scale

: Keeps the character’s original height and proportions.

  • Preserves the character’s unique scale

  • Some actions or motions may look unnatural

  • Useful if the character’s original proportions are more important than motion quality

TipFor smoother motion and better interaction, we recommend Fit to CineV Scale.

  • Processing may take 5–60 minutes, depending on the character.

  • You can continue working while processing runs in the background.

  • Even if you close CineV, your character will continue processing.

  • Check the status in Notifications or My Characters.

  • Once the status becomes Ready, the character is available in the Character Swap and My character Meun.

    • Character Swap - ZEPETO character

    • My character Meun

⚠ If you are already in 3D Studio when the character becomes Ready, the character will not appear immediately. Please exit and re-enter 3D Studio to see the updated character list.

ZEPETO characters using certain materials may be affected during import.

⚠ Semi-transparent materials (e.g. sheer clothing, glass, water) are converted to an opaque look when imported into CineV. The original transparency may not be preserved.

(Final behavior may change depending on coordination with ZEPETO.)

  • Deleting a ZEPETO character removes it from all character lists.

  • Scenes created with the deleted character:

    • Remain unchanged

    • Can still be used in existing scenes

  • Deleted characters:

    • Cannot be selected for new scenes

    • Cannot be re-selected via Character Swap

    • Must be re-imported to use again
