please do not fix what isn’t broken! the classic faces just have that roblox charm that the new dynamic heads dont have.

Personally, I think this would only be allowed for 17+ experiences. If I recall correctly this is a privacy violation and Roblox should not have live access to minor’s camera’s. I hope classic faces still stay on the “marketplace”, and not completely forgotten as how broken R6 is today.

Replacing them with animated faces feels abrupt and neglects the preferences of a significant portion of the community. While I understand the desire for moving forward but like come on this change lacks thoughtfulness and disrputs the avatar customization for those who preferred the simplicity of Classic Faces.

hi there open
OH MY LORD SO MANY PEOPLE ARE REPLYING YALL GOING ON THE “worst ideas ever” BOARD
Another “rant”. These dynamic heads are goofy. The reason why I mostly dislike them is because they forced it on someone who is literally dead (with/without) permission.

i agree but it would be cool if it just moves with your mic volume

Why are you forcing everyone to do this? If your goal is realism, start with improving the engine, not the avatars. This is an “unnecessary update” since you’ve already screwed up the UGC program.

Serious question here for Roblox.
Why not just add the new Dynamic Heads and keep the Classic Heads? Why remove the Classic Heads altogether? There’s literally no downside to just allowing players to choose…
This isn’t even getting into the fact that the new Dynamic Heads are nowhere close to a 1:1 translation of the Classic Heads. Some aren’t even in the same ballpark.

I don’t necessarily hate this update, but forcing uncanny-looking face movements to people that for the past 17 years have lived with faces that have a single predefined expression is naturally gonna cause some controversy.
“uncanny-looking” might be too rough on you guys, but we see the face expressions thing more as a gimmick than anything. I think most will be fine with this change as long as there is no forced switch that everyone has to go through.

I find this update to be good and bad. I would prefer to still be able to use my classic faces without having to use a dynamic head. The fact that some classic faces have been made offsale is extremely weird and upsetting for many people. Also, some privacy is necessary, because the expressions that some people might make can be a bit disturbing and accessing the camera can be horrifying/worrisome for some. I was excited for expressions, especially with emotes, but it can be an awful update for some. I feel like it should be executed well, as well as an option, rather than having others be forced to support this update

As I stated before, the classic face tab exists for a reason: to preserve classic faces and easily sort them out from the newer dynamic faces. It’s only more of a cash grab at this point considering that most of these faces aren’t even free if they were previously.

Like some of the reviews above, I agree that the choice of making the faces optional would be a good idea. If people want to use the Animated Heads, that’s okay. But PLEASE, don’t force this idea on older and possibly new-coming Roblox players.
As for the faces that have been put offsale, it’d be best to be brought back, someway somehow. It’s just not fair having them being offsale in favor of animated heads that are just almost an one-to-one replica of the original.

I’ve seen multiple people state this yet not really much proof of this being true. If you have any source that proves that there’s indeed a performance hit, i’d like to see it

Doing this would just spoil the whole way dynamic heads work though, its meant to motion track your mouth and eyes, not guess what you are doing by mic input, it could go completely off.

This update may seem harsh to the community, but I think in a few months, we’ll all see why this is a great change to Roblox.
The biggest change this brings is the ability to have face expressions.
Some animators have attempted to use a sprite sheet of mouth images to do lip syncing, but in most cases, they seem clunky and difficult to do smoothly. Now, I can lip sync any face during voice lines, which will bring about more realism. The ability to convey more emotion in certain cutscenes is something that seems standard in other game engines, so I see no problem in bringing that technology to Roblox.
The only thing I want them to do is to make sure games can have an option to remove all the new functionality if they want to. In that case, the dynamic heads should revert back to their “classic” expressions.
TL;DR: Another classic Roblox update that will settle down quickly.

Please don’t take classic faces off sale for the sake of forcing users to get the new dynamic heads. Please preserve them. They shouldn’t be discarded when they could be used as a fallback for when a game doesn’t support dynamic heads.
I don’t care that the dynamic heads are superior than the old 2D faces, I don’t care about any pros they have. I care about preserving things, a lot. Regardless of how good the replacement may be. There’s a good reason why I have backups of everything I ever downloaded, made, etc. even if I don’t use them everyday.

UGC items won’t even fit properly around these wonky heads; they look utterly goofy!

I understand that a lot of resources probably went into developing dynamic heads, and that you guys want the majority of the player base to actually use them, but why can’t they coexist with classic faces? I’d much prefer this update if we had the option of selecting both, not just one. This is a trend I’ve noticed with updates to pre-existing features in the past few years that I don’t think I like at all and find quite odd.
