I’m not sure why you think this is related to specific non-animation avatar assets. My current thumbnail as presented by figure 2 is the way it is because the website has that image cached so as long as I don’t make a single change on my avatar it will not cause the thumbnail to regenerate.
The Rthro idle pose is applied when my avatar thumbnail is regenerated, meaning any change to my avatar will cause this to happen. The only case where my idle should be changed from the R15 stock is when I have an idle animation I equipped and I do not.
Please stop adding bloat replies that aren’t adding any value to conversation. This isn’t a bug report; and if you’ve found a solution, then please only reply with one that actually works instead of telling me to run around in circles for a change that Roblox has clearly deliberately made and is unwanted.
I feel like if Roblox is opting to use the Rthro/realistic* character animations, they should also opt to list the original R15 animation set onto the Avatar Shop.
->*I say ‘realistic’ as there has been a recently added animation pack listed as the namesake: Realistic - Idle - Roblox (I don’t think this is able to be searched in the animations tab)
I love not having choices. Truly a place where I can “be anything” on the “Imagination” Platform.
I’m still unable to change my avatar because it’ll default me to the Rthro idle animation despite not having it equipped and I can’t get back the old pose. My only other choice is not using R15 and going back to R6, losing out on several customisation options like scaling and layered clothing.
ETA: In case it’s not apparent, albeit a bit too early in that it’s been 50 days since the last post, this is me asking for some signal on the change. Don’t get why we can’t have some choices these days and have to keep being forced into Rthro-centric features.
(know this was months ago but I need to mention this)
This is one of their worst decisions as it’s visible literally all over the site. Rthro looks good in-game with specific avatars but not on profiles. It looks dead. The original R15 pose both looks better and is much much less dead.
They never make sense with these anyway. Why go through the effort to make a bad update when you can leave it as it is, and not receive any bad comments. It’s both time-wasting and looks disgusting.
I remember there being a post showing the ID to the original idle pose before it got updated on April 1, 2023, but I think it’s unlisted now and I can’t find the link.
I don’t even see the point in making rthro the default pose when it already exists as an option. Same thing with the rthro run overwriting the old default r15 run. Why take away player choices for expression?
You know how Roblox ended up changing the idle pose a while back so that way the arms are closer to the torso (at least for 3.0 and 4.0 body types)? I think Roblox changing the avatar thumbnails to have the Rthro idle on, regardless if it’s equipped or not, is actually meant to be symbolic of the new idle animation.
Only thing they need to do is change the Rthro idle pose on the thumbnail. It doesn’t look like it does in-game.
I’ve bumped other similar posts recently but as expected roblox have ignored them completely.
Really need the old idle back, the new one is horrible and,
as evidently proven here,
NOBODY
WANTS
IT.
The only place that it doesn’t use this animation is on the avatar editor page, which realistically probably is better off as the original rhtro so it’s easy to see your avatar.
