Xiao VRM Model: 4 Fan Interpretations, None of Them Official
Xiao's downloadable supply splits in two: the official PMX on AplayBox, and four fan interpretations on VRoid Hub by AlmondTofuBird — Phoenix, Red, Cyber and Chibi. All four share one author and one license, so the choice is purely about style and spec.

Is Xiao a good desktop pet?
All four sit between 44,607 and 60,362 triangles, which is heavy; but material slots stay between 19 and 21, so the author did compress them.
Chibi Xiao has the fewest joints (99) and is the lightest of the four, while Red Xiao has 165 and the richest motion.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Triangles | 60,362 |
| Joints | 144 |
| Blend shapes | 57 |
| Materials | 21 |
| Textures | 41 |
| File size | 7.5 MB |
| VRM spec | 0.0 (VRoid Studio-2.1.5) |
Verdict: Chibi Xiao if load matters, Red Xiao if motion matters.

What it looks like on your desktop
Xiao's palette is dark (teal and ink black), so he reads clearly on light wallpapers and blends into dark ones.
The four builds look quite different — Phoenix is ornate, Red is closest to the original design, Cyber is sci-fi and Chibi is super-deformed. Match whichever suits your desktop.
| Setting | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Wallpaper match | Light grey or pale wallpapers show his outline best; pure black hides the detail |
| Suggested scale | Triangle count is high, so scale down rather than up; the chibi build suits small sizes |
| Default placement | A corner or the side of the screen; the chibi build can sit above the taskbar |
| Running several at once | Heavy geometry — keep it to two at most, and prefer the Chibi build |

Why Xiao's download counts sit far below other Genshin characters
All four builds come from AlmondTofuBird and land between 20 and 42 downloads, far below the thousands other Genshin characters attract. The reason is that no high-traffic converter has picked Xiao up, so the available supply is one person's stylistic interpretations rather than a straight conversion of the official design. That is not a quality problem — Phoenix Xiao carries 60,362 triangles and 41 textures, which is a serious model — but if you want more options you will have to wait for the community. The official PMX is on AplayBox and needs converting.
FAQ
How many Xiao VRM versions can I download?
Four, all from AlmondTofuBird: Phoenix Xiao (42 downloads), Red Xiao (36), Cyber Xiao (23) and Chibi Xiao (20).
Can Xiao models be used commercially?
All four allow personal commercial use (including profit) and corporate commercial use, but all four forbid redistribution and require credit.
Can I modify a Xiao model?
All four allow modification. Redistribution is forbidden, and credit is required — check each model page.
Which version is lightest to run?
Chibi Xiao: 44,607 triangles, 99 joints, 6.3 MB. Phoenix Xiao is the heaviest at 60,362 triangles and 7.5 MB.
Is there an official Xiao VRM?
No. AplayBox hosts an official PMX that must be converted to VRM first. The four VRoid Hub versions are all fan interpretations.
Why are the download counts so low?
Mostly because no high-traffic converter has covered this character; all four builds come from one author. It is common for long-tail characters and does not reflect model quality.
Can I download Xiao in mainland China?
AplayBox hosts the official Xiao PMX and it is reachable from mainland China. It needs converting to VRM first.
