UGC Accessory Question

Are UGC able to have roblox materials on them? Could I give a crown the built-in metal material to make it look better?

No you can’t put roblox materials on your ugc, but you can put a texture that looks like the materials.

What happens if I try? Will it not show up or will roblox just reject the ugc?

try, or you search on google for roblox materials and you put the materials on your object.

I meant what happens if I try to upload a ugc with a roblox material.

I don’t think there will be any texture (I tested it a long time ago but I don’t remember too much).

You can put the texture, but it won’t have the mappings (it won’t look 3D).

So you can add a roblox material but it will look weird?

Yes. Metals and ice and glass won’t look shiny, but that’s about it. Plastic and grass and such will look fine.

Is there a way to make them have a shine?

No, unfortunately not. They will all have the same shininess as the Plastic material.

Would it be possible to use a SurfaceAppearance?

I’m not sure if ugc accessories support pbr materials.

UGCs do not support SurfaceAppearance.

Somehow the Layer Clothing I upload had support for SurfaceApperance, so maybe Roblox added support for it.
