To make a character on Roblox, start by creating the character model. You can use Blender with a Roblox template to save setup time and rigging. Alternatively, you can create it from scratch using Roblox Studio’s Rig Builder.
Next, rig the character using a plugin like RigEdit Lite. This plugin helps set up the humanoid root part, head, and other necessary components. Ensure the humanoid root part is correctly positioned and named for proper functionality.
Naming body parts consistently is crucial, especially the humanoid root part. This step ensures proper animation and smooth movement. Consistent naming helps avoid confusion and errors during animation.
Then, add animations using the Roblox animation editor. Make sure the rig is correctly formatted to support these animations. Proper formatting ensures your character moves as intended and adds life to your creation.
Finally, set up your character as a starter character. Add a humanoid and name it “StarterCharacter” to make it playable. Parent the character to “StarterPlayer” and ensure all parts are unanchored to prevent freezing in the air.
By following these steps, you can create a custom character on Roblox. Enjoy bringing your unique characters to life on the platform!
