Daiwa Scarlet VRM Model: Two Near-Identical Versions, 163 Blend Shapes

Daiwa Scarlet has two downloadable versions on VRoid Hub, both from Niko and near-identical in spec (29,598 and 30,009 triangles, 482 and 484 joints, 163 blend shapes each). The real difference is size: 1.5 MB against 3.4 MB, a 2.3x gap.

Is Daiwa Scarlet a good desktop pet?

163 blend shapes is the signature of the Umamusume group and the biggest reason to pick one — a desktop pet can go a long time without repeating an expression.

The triangle counts are nearly the same, but the 1.5 MB build compresses its textures harder; at desktop-pet size the difference is barely visible.

SpecValue
Triangles29,598
Joints482
Blend shapes163

Textures6
File size1.5 MB
VRM spec0.0 (UniVRM-0.53.0)

Verdict: default to the 1.5 MB build — less than half the size at almost no visible cost.

What it looks like on your desktop

Daiwa Scarlet's bright palette sits well on light wallpapers and pops harder on dark ones.

With 163 blend shapes she stays lively on screen — one of the better set-and-forget picks in the Umamusume group.

Wallpaper matchLight or warm wallpapers match best; her bright colours get loud on dark ones
Suggested scaleBoth scale normally; her compact build suits a smaller size
Default placementA corner or the bottom edge — side placement feels most companionable
Running several at onceThe 1.5 MB build handles three or four on screen, the most multi-friendly in the group

Import and set up

No conversion needed — a .vrm file loads directly:

  1. Open AniMate Waifu, right-click your desktop character to open the Workshop.
  2. Click "Add a companion" and pick the .vrm file you downloaded.
  3. Adjust size and position, then save.

Extra notes for this character:

  • Both versions are VRM 0.0 (UniVRM-0.53.0) and need no conversion.
  • Version one: 29,598 triangles, 482 joints, 163 blend shapes, 1.5 MB. Version two: 30,009 triangles, 484 joints, 163 blend shapes, 3.4 MB.
  • The specs are nearly identical but the size differs 2.3x, meaning the two use different texture compression. Prefer the 1.5 MB build at desktop-pet size.
  • The terms are strict: modification, redistribution, personal commercial use and corporate commercial use are all forbidden, and credit is required.
  • That leaves personal, unmodified use only — do not edit the file or share it publicly.
  • There is no stable AplayBox VRM download for the Umamusume group, so users in mainland China need VRoid Hub.

Why the Umamusume group carries so many blend shapes

Daiwa Scarlet's 163 blend shapes are shared across the group — Tokai Teio has 168, and Almond Eye and Oguri Cap sit between 190 and 240. The reason is the source material: Umamusume characters drive race commentary, win-and-loss reactions and dialogue emotions, so their base models ship with deep expression libraries that survive conversion. For a desktop pet user that is a straight win: far more expression variety for the same footprint. The trade-off is tighter terms — both Daiwa Scarlet versions forbid all four categories, leaving personal, unmodified use only.

FAQ

How many Daiwa Scarlet VRM versions can I download?

Two, both from Niko: 285 downloads (1.5 MB) and 139 downloads (3.4 MB).

Can Daiwa Scarlet models be used commercially?

No. Both versions forbid personal and corporate commercial use and require credit.

Can I modify a Daiwa Scarlet model?

No. Both forbid modification and redistribution — personal, unmodified use only.

Which of the two versions should I pick?

The 1.5 MB one. The specs are nearly identical (both around 29,600–30,000 triangles with 163 blend shapes), but it is less than half the size.

Why 163 blend shapes?

Umamusume characters must cover race commentary, win-and-loss reactions and dialogue emotions in-game, so their base models carry deep expression libraries that conversions keep intact.

Can I download Daiwa Scarlet in mainland China?
