Generate avatars from images with Avatar Lab Preview [Demo]

With this feature, would I be able to give it this image & it would output a 3D version of it? Would it be able to do this for full avatars, and not just heads?

I tested this out myself. I did not like it. It’s just not for me.

I agree, maybe something similar to those in the crappy AI thumbnails but better

Is it normal that the body uses classic clothing?

Since there isn’t a part where I can report bugs in-game, I might as well share it here in this post… I encountered two bugs regarding the Wait Time that is horrendous and an error that is visible on the Developer Console:

Why do we gotta have all this AI generated stuff… in my opinion its all going overboard…

Not only that but, this doesn’t fit roblox at all, due they want to change the demographic or be appealing to everyone etc, BUT, there are buts.
When you look at roblox and the general direction ganes go, and the overwhelming majority of players preferences and opinions when it comes to avatars, I would guess that 85% of the playerbase/userbases preference is the “classic” blocky R6/R15, with exception of the different classic packages etc.

I much rather more things be put into game development features, better moderation so people aren’t falsely terminated etc.
Just seems now they want to stray away from games and do it some social media thing… no thanks.
I for one personally am not a big fan of a lot of things roblox has been doing in the last year or so, the new avatars in particular.

These AI generated faces give me some uncanny valley vibes.

I would like to create my avatar with this function and it would look unique

I previously tested this feature in the Research Panel program. This feature only works with realistic heads. No one will use this feature. Please don’t make new features only for realistic avatars.

Genuinely disheartening to see that this is what the classic avatars (R6, 1.0) are being replaced per Roblox’s “vision”. At first I wasn’t so bitter because we had UGC and some bodies, heads, and support for classic clothing looked nice. Seeing AI generated bodies and avatars everywhere? Depressing. If you make avatar creation as easy as this using objectively morally corrupt datasets (opt-out instead of opt-in datasets) then there’s no need to buy bodies anymore. I hope this feature never goes live for avatars.

So incredibly soulless. Text prompt for avatar generation isn’t creative nor inspiring. Don’t replace the UGC creators’ work.

Thanks for the insights — They answered a few of my questions and I like the general direction

actually good implementation of AI, im impressed

although, I do feel like this will DEFINITELY harm UGC creators in the future, especially if these are allowed to be uploaded in the marketplace, are there any plans to somehow negate this potential future disaster?

I’m getting numb to the posts promoting these uncanny “realistic” Roblox avatars.

Decided to waste some time and there are some weird artifacts when using other hair, and the ears seem to be brown just because of the beard description that I put in. There are also some strange cases where the eye color affects the hair color even if the hair description is specified. I’m also not a huge fan of the lack of body diversity here as of the moment

I don’t see a timeline where I’ll use the Avatar GenAI to represent my online identity here in Roblox, given that the (uncanny) realism of the avatars don’t really complement the R15 animations, but I’m sure they’ll be used by some who are into the idea! :slightly_smiling_face:

I also had this visual rounding error in the P2A testing. Unfortunately even after I reportred it back then, it seems to not be fixed yet

However, this tool has definitely come a far way since the closed beta. Looking forward to see what it will become in the near future!

Okay, cool, great job actually

but who asked for this, and who actually needs this? lots of time and resources go into things like this.
