Hi Creators,
Thank you for your continued feedback on this post and through direct channels. We earlier shared our philosophy and vision for avatars. We want to reiterate here that our goal is to expand the aesthetic possibilities of the Roblox platform without removing the Classic look.
We have noticed uncertainty circulating in this thread and on social media referencing leaked internal documents. We are always evolving our products and roadmap as we listen to this community and your feedback. For transparency, we wanted to share three things we hope are valuable:
- We are not deprecating R6. R6 is the original incarnation of avatars that will persist even as the platform is built and evolved on top of it. We will continue building one unified avatar system that supports increasing levels of fidelity and expression but the R6 API and user inventory of R6 avatars will be kept intact.
- We are not deprecating 2D clothing. We will rationalize 2D clothing as part of our avatar ecosystem and keep the mechanics the same.
- The head comparisons seen in our documentation are not final versions. We are maintaining this page to provide the community full and direct insight into our current state. We welcome feedback on any of the heads and thank you for the feedback provided so far. We are continuing to iterate on this content w/ the goal of 1:1 parity w/ Classic faces. We will share additional ways we’d love to engage the community in the process soon.
Thank you!
