I have recently been trying to teach myself to use the avatar importer, but am having trouble finding any sort of tutorial or guide on how to do it. I have looked at Roblox’s wiki article but it hasn’t been very informative and I was wondering if anyone either had a tutorial or video that they knew of that could help me learn. Thanks for any help you’re able to give!

Are you trying to import your avatar into studio?
There are plugins that do just that, I recommend this one: EasyInsert: Dress NPCs And More - Roblox
Or, a simpler one if you’d prefer: Load Character Lite - Roblox

Basically, the Avatar Importer is a tool used for importing custom character models from Autodesk Maya or Blender, which would then be used for creating animations.
If you’re looking to add a certain player’s avatar model into your game, you should try using an avatar loader plugin instead, like this one:

I’m trying to use the avatar importer to import a Blender model that I am making, but I have no clue what requirements that model must meet as far as rigging and everything goes.
Can you explain more in depth?
I am trying to model a sketched up design that I made for a monster that will be used in an upcoming horror game. I am modelling the monster in blender, and I would like to use the avatar importer to import that model so that players can use it. I have found no tutorials on how to do this, and this is what I’d like help with. I need to know the requirements for the blender model, and then the actual process to take that model into roblox.
Try exporting it as an obj. Obj files are transferable into Roblox. If you want you can export by selection only which would allow you to export each mesh one by one so they can be edited individually in studio.

So the mesh does have to be separated into separate parts. How is it rigged in blender?
In blender if you export it without selecting “Selection only” it will export the whole model as one. If you press Tab, go into edit mode, press “A” to select all, shift P, then press by material. That should separate your model if it’s not already done.

If you go to your collection box you would be able to see all the objects you have in your collection.
