DynamicToClassicHead: A way to transform Dynamic Heads to their classic counterparts

Resources Community Resources
#1

DynamicToClassic converts dynamic heads to their classic face and head counterparts.

This was originally made for a game of mine as it uses Roblox’s classic face system to change the face of a player via a decal in the player’s head. I’ve opened sourced it to contribute to the community

:sparkles: Elements:

  • Supports workspace.MeshPartHeadsAndAccesories set to Disabled or Enabled
  • Includes a auto updater model for those who are lazy to update the game
  • Easy to edit along with it somewhat being modular
  • Devtool plugin to make workflow easy for people modifying it

If using the auto-updater, put it in ServerScriptService or workspace if you’re messy

This is my first time making a post like this so sorry if some of it seems a bit messy or unprofessional. Also I do know Roblox is going to make it so you can toggle classic faces on a dynamic head at some point, but I don’t know if it’ll be a decal like it is currently.

Can this be used for roblox studio? I don’t like seeing dynamic heads in my moon animator animations soo yep.

I could try making a studio version. For now just load the players avatar with the moonanimator plugin, rename it to “StarterCharacter”, drop it into StarterPlayer, Playtest, then select and copy your character in workspace, stop the playtest and then paste it into studio

Actual lifesaver. I’ve been having an issue with the new ‘replacements’ for classic faces, where even if you disable dynamic heads, they appear as a special mesh and have a mouth inside. When you make the head semitransparent it looks very bad.

not sure why, but the :3 face is being replaced with a completely different face

Thank you for this, submitting the pull request now, will update the module tomorrow or later today. Sorry for the late reply I have been busy with IRL stuff.

Sorry to interrupt but I’ve been trying to get this to work for ages and its just not working, it also doesn’t seem to be working in the game it was made for as well so if it is broken please fix it if you have time, or I’m just being a idiot and implementing it wrong.
