That is nice and funny at the same time.
This is incredible! I wasn’t the biggest fan of Rthro, but now I’m starting to realize the possibilities you’re creating with these avatars.
Thanks for the update, will definitely try it out soon.

can please someone make a video showing how to make it work?. cause i tryed “alot” and the maximum i made work was 3 bones from a custon rig “humanoid”.
every time i import a rig with this some times work and some dont and most of the times all is missing the motor 6d.
also the plugin API dont say nothing abbout the _End but the program ask for add a model with name _End.
Edit i coud make it work if instead using bones i use PlainAxis , but with axis i cant animate stuff or set keys for bind save keyframe and i cant add propeties to axis.

From what I’ve seen from this post, it looks really nice! I’ve tried it for a bit and couldn’t get it to quite work. Can I get some aid on this?

woud be nice a video tutorial,i’ve tryed using it and i coud not make it work using actual bones.
only using empty axis.
the problem of using empty axis is that it is limited for using modifiers.

Thank you so much ROBLOX really excited for custom avatars in my game!
A lot of people on YouTube say Roblox updates are getting worse and worse, but really they are getting better and better! Very cool!

This is going to be great. I can now create a custom character in any modeling program and import it, and rig it so I can use it in my games. Thanks ROBLOX!
Would be nice if this thing would either also automatically split up rigged and skinned characters or eventually support deformation so more advanced rigs may be imported.
Yes, I’m hoping for deformation as well, so that my sharks don’t have to be precut shark nuggets before they actually become a nugget.

Yea roblox is really kinda behind on this sorta stuff. It’s probably due to some engine limitations, the difficulty of implementing it, standardizing it across platforms and managing its cost (i.e. for LOD levels), or possible complications because I couldn’t imagine why they would rather make rthro and r15 the way they are now instead of fully rigging them and also not place something like this on their roadmap or pipeline.
There’s also of course the triangle limit thing which is actually fairly low in comparison to what you would expect on other platforms (at least the triangle limit for a single mesh; it would probably be raised if fully deformable characters could be imported).

So, im importing the avatar… its a manipulated and changed version of a roblox bundle… its the same size as when i imported it from roblox into blender, but when i import it back into roblox it is super huge. everything is how its suppose to be with all the proper parenting and what not, and ive tried scaling it down in blender, but i cant seem to get it just right where all the blocks are aproximately the same as a normal roblox rig. Can anyone help?

FBX tends to scale things way up. You gotta scale it to 1/10th of its original size in blender before exporting.

I’ve noticed recently that the Avatar Importer has failed to import one of my rigs. It correctly imported with no problems around the beginning of May. However I’ve tried again with the same rig and it gives me an infinite loading screen.
I also tried re importing with qqtt991’s example rig (found further up), which I know imported correctly during the time his forum was posted. I still have the rig file and it hasn’t been touched since April 2nd. However, now it displays this error.
One of my friends is having the same issue. It was 2 weeks ago that the importer wasn’t causing him any trouble but now he gets the same infinite-loading screen. Im not sure if there was a requirement change or maybe I’m missing something, but I’d like to know what’s happening since we find this feature is very useful. Thanks
Hi Arkatori,
We accidentally introduced a new bug last week in an update that could be causing this. The bug affects rigs with some (but not all) parts textured. A fix will be shipped next week.
Until then, you can workaround this by giving every single part a texture before importing.
If it sounds like this isn’t whats happening, please send me your .fbx file so I can debug your issue locally.
Low triangle limits are due to mobile.
Trying to load in a custom animation I keep getting this error?
i keep getting an error that ask for the _End like missing “Head_End”
and also some times i import it without error but it comes without the bones… youd be nice if you guys make an video tutorial in the roblox channel.
