Ever wanted to show off your animation skills, or need a reason to learn how to get your characters moving? Whether it’s animating a stylish dance or a bouncy walk, our community of creators always impress us with their artistic creativity.
That’s why for the Build it Play It Challenge, an educational initiative, we’re looking for the best animation that you can create with this theme!
You can learn how to enter on the Developer Hub. That page includes guides how to create your animation, whether you’re new to Studio or just haven’t made an animation before.
We’re looking forward to seeing what you’ve got in store for us this time. When the Roblox community comes together and creates, everyone’s a winner.
This is cool, animators get more recognition now! With this Roblox is giving developers of all sorts more spotlight, and getting people to start animating. I may even try it myself!
Haven’t much animated yet, so I might not participate. Anyways, looking forward to see who wins! I love that the new name for the “Roblox Creator Challenge” is “Roblox Build it, Play it!”
If there is ever a scripting challenge, boom, I’ll be there.
I don’t think a scripting contest makes any sense. How “good” a script is is usually based on efficiency and reusability, which is a whole lot harder to judge than how good something like a build or animation looks. That’s why some coding competitions focus on a specific thing (like code golfing, efficiency, creativity, etc.) instead of what the “best” solution is.
(For the main post:) The article says there’s only two skill levels, those who haven’t used studio and those who have but aren’t animators. What about people with minimal animating experience or even more experienced animators? Are they not “allowed” to submit an animation?
So while the theme is Victory and Celebration, really any Roblox humanoid model works. We don’t have a preference whether it’s Rthro or not. If it makes you leap up in your chair and cheer - it’ll fit that theme!
So anyone can submit animations regardless of their experience level. We just included those resources to help people get started. I’ll change the copy on that post though so it’s more clear though. Thanks for the feedback!
Sounds like a fun contest! Bit indifferent about how twitter likes primarily drive the winner pool. Seems a bit tricky from someone with an inactive twitter account. But showing off dev work is a pretty cool culture, people can make amazing things.
Also on the topic of challenges.
A scripting contest is definitely plausible. But code golf would be disappointing, I think the challenge should have an open-ended topic, with a roblox-world implementation (not a script which outputs a correct answer). Ex. rescript a feature in studio, script a movement system for one of the following vehicles (or your own), script an interesting tool. Judge criteria on creativity, functionality, and topic relevance.
