What is Citrus R6?

Citrus R6 is an R6 rig that does not require a humanoid, it can still load all your classic clothing without any effort and accessories.

Non Humanoid R6 (RELEASED)

This rig was designed to be used with chickynoid as it is a custom character controller that does not need humanoids, it only used them to load characters, this rig can come in handy for cases like those.

Chickynoid:

Chickynoid, server authoritative character replacement

Introducing - Chickynoid! A server-authoritative character replacement for roblox. This is a complete replacement for character physics and replication for roblox. It implements: Server owned character physics Client network rollback Player model replication with bitbuffer compression 100% custom collision detection 100% custom player movement, including acceleration and friction Several anticheat strategies - Is completely immune to fly, teleport and clipping hacks Is mostly immune to lag an…

What Can I use this for?

If you don’t have a custom character controller, I believe this rig still has some cool tricks that you can use it for, you can probably load clothes into clothing stands for your shops with it, without the need of humanoids that waste performance.

Here are some cooler tricks:

Changing materials of body parts without breaking them!

Woah so shiny!

Creating first person shadows

Just set your parts to have a transparency of -math.huge and set the material to forcefield, voila! now you have a character that is invisible but still renders shadows!

How to use

Just download the rbxm provided at the bottom and construct a new rig using

Rig.new()

You can load in your avatar by calling

Rig:LoadUserId(userId : number)

I advise you read the module as it has some functions for loading shirts, pants, t shirts, accesories and humanoid descriptions.

It is recommended you run this on client as I haven’t tested it on server, also make sure to add the “NoTexture” material variant to material service to have smooth texures on your rigs.

Be aware that since clothes are rendered on a separate layer on top of the body parts/limbs and it uses special meshes to render clothes having transparent parts, this rig can be a bit more expensive to render, although considering its just 5 and realistically you are not gonna have 100 players inside your camera’s frustrum, then it should be fine.

Enjoy!

I like this but I won’t be using it. And I don’t get the point of this much.

Saying this because no such option exists.

[Fraiixen (Zoroark)]

It was designed to be used for custom character controllers such as chickynoid, where humanoids are not needed at all, Humanoids are horrible and perform terribly, not to mention their poopy bandwith usage.

And lets not talk about humanoids flinging randomly…

Yeah at the end of the day it is a very niche thing.

[awry_y (Harper_Clark)]

Hmmm… good enough for me. Might use it. Or maybe not. Depends.

Still a good resource!

[Bikereh (green_lady)]

is this worth using for any random roblox game, i dont need to change any material n stuff. or actually the shadow in first perosn seems nice. but how much better is performance and will this affect my code already

[mlnitoon2]

tds game devs be crying in happiness if they find this

[Fraiixen (Zoroark)]

It is worth it if you do not need humanoids at all, that’s it.

[Fraiixen (Zoroark)]

No way TDS uses humanoids for rendering all their towers, Bruh no wonder their game runs so bad LOL.

[mlnitoon2]

They don’t use humanoids, I was just talking about people who made tds type games

[mlnitoon2]

either way, i will be using this eventually.

[Fraiixen (Zoroark)]

I was playing this game called Dzielnica by @Rufus14 , and I noticed the game has a thing where you can split people in half with an axe, but it looks kinda bad because it uses a rendering trick with glass to hide the other half of the torso.

So I had this brilliant idea.

if you split the meshes in blender, you can create this half rig that recreates the effect perfectly. I will post this rig in the future if anyone wants it.

Option 5: I like this, but will not be using it

[Fraiixen (Zoroark)]

option 6, did not asked + ratio.

Just kidding, I’m joking. Glad you still found it interesting.
