What is the cost of a weight painting 3D model for VTubers?

The cost of weight painting a 3D model for VTubers typically ranges from $50 to $500, based on model complexity, rigging detail, and artist expertise. Basic humanoid models with standard facial/body rigging fall at the lower end ($50–$150), while those with intricate features (dynamic hair, flowing clothing, custom bone structures) cost more—precise work is needed to ensure smooth movement between bones. Professional models with advanced interactions (e.g., prop use, complex expressions) can reach $300–$500. For budgets, choose mid-level freelance artists and clarify your movement needs (head turns, hand gestures) upfront to avoid extra costs.
