Bronya VRM Model: 4 Triangles Apart, 22x Fewer Expressions
Bronya's two downloadable versions make an odd pair: Madoka-Senpai's build reports 36,268 triangles and felix catux's 36,272 — just four triangles apart. But one carries 66 blend shapes and the other only 3, and the file size halves from 8.1 MB to 4.5 MB.

Is Bronya a good desktop pet?
The two builds share a near-identical triangle count, so the mesh almost certainly comes from one source. The difference is in expressions and materials: 66 blend shapes against 3, 33 material slots against 7.
The felix catux build was exported with the Blender VRM exporter (saturday06) rather than UniVRM, and its 4.5 MB is less than half the Madoka-Senpai file.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Triangles | 36,268 |
| Joints | 398 |
| Blend shapes | 66 |
| Materials | 33 |
| Textures | 6 |
| File size | 8.1 MB |
| VRM spec | 0.0 (UniVRM-0.94.0) |
Verdict: pick Madoka-Senpai for expressions, felix catux for a static companion that costs less.

What it looks like on your desktop
Bronya's palette is cool — grey-blue and silver-white — so her outline reads cleanly on light wallpapers and turns quiet on dark ones.
The two builds look almost the same on screen; the visible difference at pet size is how naturally expressions switch.
| Setting | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Wallpaper match | Light or grey-blue wallpapers match best; warm ones mute her cool palette |
| Suggested scale | Both scale normally; the 33 material slots of the Madoka-Senpai build carry more detail |
| Default placement | The right side or a corner — she suits sitting quietly |
| Running several at once | Neither build is heavy; two or three on screen is fine |

Same triangle count, very different contents
Bronya's two builds sit four triangles apart, which makes them look like one model released twice — but 66 blend shapes against 3, 33 material slots against 7 and 8.1 MB against 4.5 MB tell a different story. One build added expressions and materials onto the base mesh; the other kept almost nothing but the static shape. For a desktop pet, if you actually use expressions, take Madoka-Senpai; if she just sits there, felix catux costs less. The official PMX is on AplayBox and needs converting.
