Individual creators pay 15,000 yen per hour before tax, with a minimum two-hour booking at 30,000 yen. The company supplies the Xsens Link inertial suit, the recording space, and staff, and delivers data in FBX or BVH format.","whyItMatters":"By stripping 3D model work, video editing, and retargeting out of the package and charging only for capture and delivery, I-Pairs prices a service that has usually required a studio and a production budget within reach of solo VTubers.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe rate card splits individual creators from corporate clients. A VTuber operations company or production firm pays 40,000 yen before tax for the two-hour package and 20,000 yen for each additional hour, against 30,000 yen and 15,000 yen for individuals. Hand capture, which records finger movement, adds 10,000 yen to the base and 5,000 yen per extension.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBookings run in one-hour extensions up to 12 hours in a single day. Staff fit and adjust the suit, and the recorded data goes through automatic correction before delivery, with a turnaround given as one to five business days. I-Pairs is an equity-method affiliate of Yamaha Corporation.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"I-Pairs prices the Xsens Link suit, studio space and staff into one hourly rate, so the 30,000 yen minimum covers a two-hour booking rather than a single session. For VTubers, the barrier is now the block of time, not the gear.","twitterPost":"I-Pairs bundles the Xsens Link suit, space and staff into one rate, so VTubers book two hours minimum at 30,000 yen before tax.","threadsPost":"I-Pairs folds the Xsens Link suit, the recording space and staff into a single hourly rate, which puts the cost on the calendar: a two-hour minimum at 30,000 yen before tax. VTubers who only need a short clip still pay for the full block.","newsletterBlurb":"I-Pairs opened a motion capture recording service aimed at VTubers and virtual performers on November 12.
