>>3687990Anon, but we already know how they work. Extra outfits are given for sub milestones and events. Any outfit outside of that can be commissioned by the members themselves and Ichikara pays for part of it. It also might depend on how much their artist loves them.
3D is guaranteed at 100k, and release is mostly based on when you got there first unless you're part of an event. The studio is first come first serve. Maimoto/Chaika/ those guys talked about it previously. Staff regularly help with events, and the obscure ones are the ones that don't usually come into the office very often or host events.
Indies can get a 3D model, but not for free, and a good model is definitely most expensive than a live2d. Not sure how the Western indie scene is currently doing, but another plus is being able to use Niji3D.
>Only reason I don’t like Niji too much is because they’re just a fancy label for indie chuubas.I don't wanna say you're completely wrong here, since Niji does just feel like a collection of indies sometimes for the non-top, but you're heavily overestimating how successful the majority of indies are.
