Multiple errors and overall confusion when uploading UGC head

tl;dr: i don’t know what i’m doing wrong because validation errors are subpar

Basically, I’m trying to upload a head to the ROBLOX marketplace, fully animated, too.

I have been struggling with the upload for weeks due to the new validation update, currently having trouble with the following error:

“Dynamic Heads on the marketplace must be setup to properly animate the core facial movements, but our detection did not notice a substantial change.”

So, I modify the controls to make it more expressive! And it worked for a bit! But when I went back to upload it the next day, the error came back???

I change the cage to fit the landmarks over the eyes and mouth properly! Still nothing.

So, I take a closer look at the base template models that ROBLOX provides that upload basically with no problem whatsoever, and I try to copy how they do the mouth, but this is when it gets weird.

Now I get an error that says that my head cage has “Zero area triangles”!! I can obviously tell this is because of the overlapping mouth vertices that I added, but then why does the templates roblox provides pass validation when they do mouths the exact same way?

It’s all a mess, I’ve been unable to do any kind of uploads or work for weeks because of the new update basically throwing a wrench at any kind of upload I had planned.

Very disappointing that such a big update was released in such a half baked state.

ANY kind of help would be appreciated, even though I know there’s already plenty of posts dealing with the same issue (wonder why).

I wish I had answers, I’m assuming your going through validation errors, though I’ve heard news coming from a roblox staff that they will be updating the error messages sometime this or next week to tell you what you exactly need to actually do.
