Introducing Avatar Settings: More Control for Developers, Better Expression for Players

The blatantly obvious advantages that the R6 rig gives, such as a fully consistent scale

I haven’t used the new normalization feature yet, but from my understanding it should resolve this issue. If it’s not resolved on other axis that feedback should be given in this thread

@Chark_Proto

being able to fling people

@Chark_Proto

making your hitbox tiny or barely even existing, etc.

@Chark_Proto

Dynamic heads change your hitbox

Innerbox collisions, or custom collisionboxes (we do this in our games) prevent this in most, if not all cases.

@Chark_Proto

I also have to argue that animations on R6 just generally look far better and more stylized than R15.

That is just blatantly not true. R6 has a smaller range of motion than R15. R15 can have R6 animations, R6 cannot have R15 animations. “Ah yes a realistic FPS game with rigid stiff limbs”!

@Chark_Proto

animations just flow so much better

This problem applies to R6 too, not just R15. Animation blending is currently hard to accomplish unless you implement your own animation compositor, which is limited by the animationtrack APIs and their associated quirks.

@Chark_Proto

Then, another thing R6 has that R15 doesn’t (but R15 should have) is the lack of ugly joints in limbs.

This is an art asset issue that can affect R6 too, it is not a rig issue. My own avatar has mispositioned motor6D joints so my hands and feet completely detach with a lot of common animations. My package was made in 2012 for R6, long before R15 existed.

@Chark_Proto

but roblox decided that a few blocks and a cylinder together NEED a censor bar because “its too human!!”, so bye bye using that because the censor bar overlays classic clothing which in 99% of cases looks 10000x better than any layered clothing.

Classic clothing and layered clothing both have their places, and a developer really should not be forcing one or the other in most cases. It is the player’s avatar, after all.
Regarding the modesty layer, you are correct that this is a failing of Roblox moderation. Realistically the modesty layer should not be visible if classic clothing is being worn, and classic clothing should work on bundles.
