How To Rig A Character

Help and Feedback Building Support

Can players become models in your game? For example if I make a model of this picture is it possible to make the player become it and move like their regular avatar?

If so would I just make a model in roblox studio or should I use blender or some other program? Are their any plugins that could help make the building of a detailed character like this much easier? I couldn’t find any youtube tutorials on this kind of stuff so if you find any please comment them.

Thanks for reading.

Yeah, but you need to insert rigs, joints, one humanoid, and that kind of stuff. But yes you can. You can search a StarterCharacter in the Toolbox, you will find R15, R6, etc. If you want to use it, you need to call the model “StarterCharacter” and it’s parent must be StarterPlayer (A service)

Yes, you need to insert it in StarterPlayer, you can edit it and that stuff, but try to be delicate on that, you might change something and something might not work as expected.

Hello! I can help you with that, here’s a short lesson on how to make a custom character:

  1. Choose your NPC, you can make your own NPC but make sure it functions as a normal player

  5. Then you’re done! you can now play as a custom character.
    [Make sure that its functions as a normal player or else it won’t work.]

If you have any questions, ask me and I’ll be sure to respond back!

What if I want the player to be a dino? Can you make a character in blender and rig it in the studio?

#13

How do I make sure it functions as a normal player?

I’m not 100% sure you can make a mesh and rig it in studio but I’m pretty sure you can’t.
But you can try this character creator plugin if you’re having trouble:
