How do you enable Dynamic Head Movement? Is there a setting in Roblox Studios for this?

David Baszucki’s ultimate goal for Roblox is to make it as realistic as possible. This update is one of many.

Proof? If anything, this update depicts a cartoonish artstyle. I am almost 90% sure this update’s purpose will mainly serve for their newly implemented voice chat feature. Both features aren’t meant for realism, rather they are just cool and convenient gimmicks. They both even are implemented via developers, and they both aren’t forced.

I think Roblox is still, at their core, letting developers choose their artstyle for their games, hence the implementation of the realistic future lighting for realism, or cel shading being the opposite for a more cartoony feel.

Yes, the more realism brought to Roblox = a better experience.

We have posted an update on some of the work we’ve been doing and we’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts and feedback.

tbh the more realistic ones just should be put on the backboard until somehow people get comfortable with rthro.

Would be cool to see a procedural lipsync feature created for this in the future like the one oculus documented and opensourced

Oh cool! I hope they allow creators to utilize this too for games that have voiced NPC dialouge. Maybe a tool of some kind that listens to roblox sounds in game

That would actually be very interesting…however, I think they need a video of someone’s mouth to achieve that (like deep fakes) if you’re not going to use an animator.

Which, now that I’ve written it down, doesn’t sound like a bad idea. It would be a lot easier than animating it by frame.
