We have been exploring new body, head and face components for ROBLOX characters. All of the mockups in this post are conceptual. We invite your feedback on everything here. When giving feedback, please refer to the sketch and image ID, as in “I like Male Bodies-A, #2”.
We have been experiment with a range of looks – spanning from a blocky mini-fig to a more human shape. We have been playing a bit to see if we can capture the look and feel of iconic characters that you may recognize from movies and TV.
For the male characters, we are also looking into possibly including facial hair, as well as more descriptive facial expressions.
For the male faces, we have explored several options that are more descriptive and include facial hair and emotion. Notice how the different smile and eyebrows change the entire personality.
These faces show previous ROBLOX heads in Column A with colors, alongside new faces and head shapes in Column B.
For the shape of male avatar heads, we have a range of the original ROBLOX shape at figure 1 to a more lifelike head with figures a, b and c. The top of the head becomes rounded and the jawline is more defined as you move down the scale.
Here we have a variety of sketches showing how the newest female ROBLOX character might look. This is a scale from the original ROBLOX 1.0 avatars to a female plastic doll.
If you slide towards figures 9, a and b, the character starts looking photo-realistic. If you slide towards figures 1 and 2, the body shape is not as feminine.
Here is an exploration of female faces. Similar to the male mockups, we wanted a range of expressions so users can choose faces that display emotions.
The female heads start from the original ROBLOX shape in figure 1 to a more life-like shape in figures a, b and c. Notice how the jawline becomes more defined, and the top of the head is rounded.
This is a combination of heads with faces, color, hair and male faces on female heads.
All of the images in this post are mockups. We have no set plans for if and when we may release any of these. We look forward to hearing suggestions and feedback from our players.
Well, the faces look wierd, I could do better with me and mai graphics board tablet ^-^ :D
Junk!I WANT OLD ROBLOX BACK! Oh the good old days…… I Will TRY To Stop this but…you know..its roblox…
DO IT!!!!!!! <3
They Will Probly Sell Them For Like 1,000 ROBUX And 2,000 Tix Like They Do With All The Good Things :( . But I REALLY Hope There For Free.
i’ll quit roblox if you guys DELETE the blox body. Because i will still have my blox body!!! ):
not everyone can have these if they come at, you know, some can have block morphs, some can have these. I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Publish these and I will leave ROBLOX and cancel my bc.
Wow, I’d really like to see these come out. :D and it would still be roBLOX, cause you build with blocks XD
I do not want to change ROBLOX because
1. It’s roBLOX – Blox = Blocks
2. I like the old days like 08 and 09
3. I imagined my character in the faces and bodies, I just didn’t think it was…me.
Yeah! The heads are a big win. But the bodies could do with some work. And, what is a man police figure doing in the woman section? I don’t get it.
PS. So i’m not all negative, nice pics!
STOP dont do it its a crime against nature and youll regret it
i love the ideas of the new changes come on do it do it do it
Dudes. you dont have to hate it. you can choose if you’ll use it or take it. some users will like this. Not everyone has the same opinion. So i have to Like this “Character Explorations”
ROBLOX is doing great improving the game..
Look now! we’re allowed to make emotions i hope..
More bodies. Not just the Noob/Newbie Blocks.
This will be great!
!LIKE!
i dont want roblox to change i want still the noob bodys back! like really roblox i dont want meh body to change!!!!!!!
Junk. Junk is what I say. If they want to change a THING about roblox, it should be returning to us what we had. Good old ROBLOX. That is all I want back.
I agree.
Agreed. I miss 09.
No!!!!! I don’t like it. Keep the Faces, bodys, and heads. Everything we have now! I want the old roblox back, i dont like these updates. Everyone else feels the same way, too!
But I thought this was Ro-BLOX, not Ro-DIMENSION…
I like
Male bodies-A #2
Male face-B Col A
You guys should stick to the characters that look like blocks and all robloxians should have the same bodys having different bodies in games gives the person with the smaller body an advantage. for example in shooter games the person with the smaller body has an advantage. Also seeing that this game is called roBLOX sticking with the block theme would be much better it would be no fun to have realistic body’s realistic faces would be nice although body shape no. If you going to introduce these body types and faces you should make it a change for everyone and create a huge update to add new face packages and torsos that do not give other players disadvantages in games.
