Dynamic Heads & Facial Animation Preview Beta

The platform should be constantly changing and evolving imo, this is a little off topic, but I think nostalgia is okay. It may needs some work but it isn’t terrible. If roblox was like it was in 2008 now, no one would play it. The platform needs to evolve to keep an audience.

I think this has potential and is a cool feature if the can fix some of the creepiness of it!

The 3d faces are definitely uncanny, but the 2d look pretty good.

Cool, but the one on the right is to creepy. I really like the left one though!

One question, will we be able to use these without scripting?

Where is this picture from?

They must took the right faces from movie creator who use such facial expression.

I LOVE the one on the left, but I DISPISE the one on the right. I really hope I don’t see the right character in the future. I don’t think it matches Roblox’s cartoony style.

However, the one on the on the left is so good!

Great job Roblox! Just don’t execute this badly lol

Because it’s a studio beta? It says so in the title.

Creating_Facial_Animation page in GitHub has deprecated code, does that mean this was made quite a while ago?

I think this feature is potentially really cool however there are a lot of polishing needs to get done in the beta period. In my opinion, blending with normal Roblox characters is really important for a such feature. Players like Roblox because it’s Roblox really, more features will make everything more possible if it doesn’t harm some things as well.

Something like this shouldn’t be called “bad” on social platforms, we just need to give our feedback on it and try to make them see what they don’t see. Some people are extremely against Roblox innovations and they are the ones who compare Roblox features with other game engines features all time! Roblox is getting more features, isn’t that what we want?

Overall, I think that if it gets implemented correctly, it has a great potential.

It just appears creepy to some people as a smile. That’s the only bad bit. Really we should just get a different face to test.

It is in fact, creepy. However we have something that we can’t forget:

It’s a beta. We just need to give feedback before evaluating it as good or bad.

Well, you’re doing the thing I objected. It definitely needs improvement, calling something “bad” is not constructive, I left my feedback here:

Whoops, sorry. I’ll go fix that.

Is Roblox alright? Did the ones that thought of this stayed inside for so long that they lost their mind? :worried:

I think quite a few people are missing the point here! This is a GREAT change, and whilst it may look “off” and “ugly,” this will be incredible for games that really want you to immerse yourself in your character. Take this for example: You’re in a farming game, planting seeds, watering the soil, raking dort and all of a sudden your character is out of breath! Would you like them sot there stone faces, or would you like to show some sort of discomfort in their face, to really sell it. Perhaps theyre sleepy? Give em a sleepy face! The possibilities are endless, and this is a great feature for a multitude of reasons, Shout out to you, roblox!

Why are facial controls locked behind PluginSecurity? It’d be quite nice to be able to lip-sync with normal sounds and not just voice.

I love this update and I think it would be awesome. However, I really hope it’s an optional thing for avatars as I really like having a 2D face on my avatar.
