Roblox staff hosted an AMA today. Looks we finally have somewhat of a response to the radio silence around Classic Faces.

Q:

@Lucatacos2213

I was wordering if Roblox officially abandoned the transfer of Classic Faces to Dynamic Faces?
Since in this Announcements [We’re updating Heads!] it say:

We will update most heads by the end of the year and complete the rest in 2024. In the short term, you will see some differences:

and there are lot of Classic Face still not using dynamic Faces

A:

@xBigBroGregx

We want avatar heads on our platform to be dynamic and expressive while respecting the broad range of aesthetics that our community loves.

To do this, we’re exploring ways to create dynamic heads from classic faces in a way that retains a face’s original look and feel. We are also exploring letting users choose if they want their faces to be dynamic or static.

Ultimately, we want to do all of this in a way that maximizes user expression while making things easy for our creators.

First off:

“We are also exploring letting users choose if they want their faces to be dynamic or static.”

HUGE! I hope they’ll actually keep their promise.

In regards to the rest of the reply, it’s pretty vague, but it sounds like maybe they’re trying to figure out a way have a Dynamic Head be automatically generated from an existing Classic Face (instead of their previous method of manually creating heads that end up looking nothing like the original face), so that the animated heads can be super-accurate to the original face, and also to make it way easier for creators to create their own Dynamic Heads by simply just inputting a 2D face?

I probably shouldn’t get my hopes up, but if this is all true then this is insane.
