Riko (Made in Abyss) 3D model / VRChat Avatar

Riko, the silly cave raider known for her delicious yet questionable food, is now available for VRChat!

Update 4.2 adds the Blaze Reap artifact along with many improvements to Riko's model and new features to her VRChat version! Since update 4.0 nearly everything was remade from scratch emphasising quality and rigging for animation. Please look at the Changelog below for more info!

This model has many fun features thanks to Avatar Dynamics! Light your way with Riko's headlamp or have your friends give you a nice head pat~ But don't let them pull on your hair because Riko might not like it~ Her clothes rustle and bob as she moves, and her outfit can be toggled to fit the situation.

Blaze Reap:

To use the Blaze Reap in VR, you can grab it from your back by moving your right hand over your left shoulder to the handle and use the "Fist" gesture. Alternatively, you can toggle it in the menu.

To place it back on your back, simply move your hand over your left shoulder and release the "Fist" gesture. The Blaze Reap will be back on your back~

There is also a toggle to Fold it up or Unfold like in the anime series with more features to come in future updates.

Changelog:

November 13th (13/06/2026) v5.2.2:

・Fixed a couple of silly blend shapes not working in the UOH version (thanks Hellrazer)

November 13th (13/06/2026) v5.2.1:

A very itty bitty tiny update

・Fixed the cheek scar being always visible on the UOH version

・Improved the body outline stencil on both versions. It now looks a lot better, especially on areas with a lot of detail

November 6th (11/06/2026) v5.2:

Hi, its been a while! This update features many improvements and fixes, while the changes may be harder to spot, those of you with a keen eye will notice them immediately~

・Entirely remade the silly areas on the UOH Addon version - this includes the shape, textures, rigging, and shape keys. Overall, significantly higher quality and easily my best work yet.

・Improved the chest and bosom size and position

・Added a new Eyes Swirls emote and moved the Hearts and Stars emotes into a new 'Eyes' menu. Eye related emotes are now controlled using an integer parameter.

・Optimized the Cave Raider outfit materials - the entire outfit now uses 2 materials and 2 4K textures, significantly reducing memory usage

・Combined the head and the body meshes into a new single 'body' mesh

・Improved several shape keys across the face, body, and outfits (thanks K'hirho!)

・Reworked the socks into stirrups/thigh-highs, leaving her feet exposed! (Inspired by some recent manga references)

・Reorganized the PhysBones - moved all physbones to a sperate game object for easier management and also reduced their overall number without impacting the quality

・Reduced the number of used VRChat parameter bits from 88 to 55. (This gives you space to add much more custom content to her avatar if you wish)

・Updated dependencies - VRC SDK to 3.10.6, VRCFury to 1.1442

I also took the time to rework the Blender version too - now featuring many quality of life improvements for those of you who wish make art and animations, now you should have a much better time <3 

・Made the default material setup use Blender BPR (Principled BSDF) shader. Moving forward this will be the default setup for all of my models. If there is desire for it, i will keep the anime shader too.

・Added subdivision surface modifier on every mesh with proper creasing (Now you can jump right into animation)

・Parented the IK elbow and knee pole bones back to the root bone (While it seemed like a good idea at the time, the more traditional method is preferred from the feedback)

・Made the shape key category names consistent with my previous works

・Linked every corresponding shape key with drivers - changing one shape key affects all the other shape keys with the same name (i.e. setting Squish Waist to 1 on the body, will also set Squish Waist to 1 on every other piece of clothing)

・Renamed many components such as meshes, emotes, animations, for better clarity and consistency. (i.e. Ehe~ is now called Tease, Riko - Bodysuit is now called just Bodysuit, and so on)

Planned updates:

Version 5.0 and above will focus on hairstyles, outfits and gear from the Movie and Season 2 of the Anime. I'm also considering making an to Auto Rig Pro version to make animation easier.
