An Open Letter to ROBLOX about Our Third-Gen Character Parts

By David Baszucki - June 28, 2012

We have a big vision. The future of ROBLOX is an online world where many physical phenomena are simulated. Ultimately, wind will blow small parts around, metal wires will conduct electricity, lasers will cause wooden parts to burst into flame, magnets will attract parts made of iron, and water will freeze, flow and vaporize. This is not a world that will be composed only of blocks. Our characters will evolve and adapt to live in this world.

Preview ROBLOX’s New Prototype Character Bodies

By Andrew Haak - June 16, 2012

If you’ve been following the ROBLOX blog for the past few months, you’ve probably seen one of our three hotly debated “Character Explorations” posts, in which we’ve shown the ongoing design progress for our version-3.0 character models. Love them or not, your feedback has helped shape the look of the future ROBLOX.

This time around, we’ve taken the new 3D bodies to the next level by creating fully dressed, personality-rich prototype characters and putting them into motion. Check out this post for a video preview from ROBLOX Art Director Jonathan Jahr.

Character Explorations v2

By Taylor Whitmer - April 26, 2012

Last month, ROBLOX released a preview of potential body, head and face components for new ROBLOX characters. Today, we will show you the 3D renderings of heads, bodies, arms and hands that we have been exploring. Because we want to know what our users think, we have included a survey below the photos, where you can indicate what you like.
