I am fully on-board with this update, however, I disagree with the “no re-texturing” limitation. Re-texturing is a fun and easy way to create something new. If you don’t like an item for it’s texture, you can grab it, change it up, and create something new. Although, I do not support re-texturing expensive items like the Dominus, Valkyrie Helm, Domino Crown, Sparkle Time Fedora, etc, because I fully understand that allowing this will crush the limited economy. I think certain items should be marked as “re-texturable” or “UGC eligible” very clearly on the roblox website:
If an item has this notice and its eligible for UGC, users can safely take the mesh and the texture, and upload it, as long as they make something noticably different.
If an item does have this notice but the item is NOT eligible for UGC, users who do upload the mesh and texture with receive moderation action against their account, and for repeat offenders, their ability to upload UGC.
I also think other users should be able to upload UGC and mark it as UGC eligible or not.
Re-texuring opens up a lot of creative freedom when making UGC. There are tons of hats and items on twitter that sample Roblox creations and look absolutely awesome! If implemented right, tons of talented creators in the field of graphic design can emerge into the scene right away!
Some of my favorites:
& A LOT more!
