RoughSphereBlox said he filed this request but so far I’ve seen no answer. Are there any updates on the status of the request? I’d really appreciate a responsem because I’m releasing free model weapons that require roblox animations, and to re-upload animations to the user’s profile and copying them is such a hassle when animations could simply be public.

Going to clear the solution on this thread, as this is not solved.

I’d like an exception to be made for the moderation system (W/playback of animations) for the following:
- Player A is granted access to a non-group game via team create for Player B (Where Player B has animations created). Player A cannot play animations in studio w/Player B’s place because Player B owns the animations (Even though technically, in my opinion, it should play because they’re located within Player B’s place).
I think a whitelist system where the animations play in studio where the owner of the place matches the owner of the animation (And editors can play it back) would be great. I had a client want to recruit me to fix their weapons for their game, and I couldn’t work on it because of this limitation.

I’d like this to be a thing. According to my team, working is a bit harder when all you see are T-Poses jumping around.
This also kills the workflow for my teammates, including me; they have to wait for me to publish all my packages and publish the game so they can see what’s going on animation-wise inside of the live game, which means I have to drop everything that I’m currently doing to help them do what they want to do. This essentially negates the use of Studio’s F5 in my games.
Doesn’t even need to be completely public, I’d definitely like @ArtemisTheDeer’s idea to be used. Begging you here, DevRel - can we get at least some kind of acknowledgement?

Bumping this.

This is still one of my most needed features. Sharing things that use animations is currently much more difficult than it should be. Making free models or scripts that use animations is currently impractical: I don’t intend to ask every person that uses an asset I made to reupload the necessary animations and edit values in a script.
There isn’t even a reason to moderate animations - if a person was motivated enough, they could write their own animation system that plays back KeyframeSequences, completely bypassing moderation.
Sometimes I make animations on a different account and have to port them over every time to my current account. If you make a game under your account but want to publish it under a group, you have to remake the animations every time.
This is a much-needed feature that would greatly benefit the developer community.

An administrator said animations would be able to be made public soon. That was…I think, uh…In 2022.

someone should just script something that takes data from the keyframesequence to tween the rig’s motor6d

It’s been 4 years. How long does it take to make animations shareable.

Animations cannot be sharable. But is a way to use public animations by this:
- Insert a dummy with the model “AnimSaves”
- Open the animation editor and export it.
roblox uh cam you please do it so i can be sane again

This should really be a feature already
I believe this feature is essential for game development with Team Create. As you mentioned, it should be relatively easy to implement by limiting it to group editing only, this way it could efficiently moderated. Such a feature would greatly enhance the game creation process and improve animation process overall. It will allow teams to work together quicker while also ensuring proper monitoring and control over the animations within the games. Let’s hope Roblox can make it happen.

Bumping it, although there should be list of allowed animations in games.
The problem is that, animations can replicate to server, and bad actors like exploiters can abuse it well. Having a list of what animations are allowed in the game would eliminate the bad actors from abusing public animation system.
Just a thought I wanted to share.
As long as exploiters have physics authority over their own characters, they will always be able to animate their characters in inappropriate ways.
I still believe the benefits of allowing animations to be made public (being able to create systems that anyone can use without re-uploading animations) greatly outweigh any potential drawbacks.

Bumping - At least give an allow-animation process like Sounds have, where you can explicitly grant permission to other places if you Publish to Roblox in a different place.
Group-to-Group / Player-to-Group Animation transferring sucks.

Bumping this thread, would like to see public animations in the roblox field again.
