Please stop overthinking roblox faces. - David baszucki

I wish they let ugc creators upload their own face instead of them uploading "masks" it just creates more clutter to an already messy catalog of copyright infringing items 🤔

The fact that Robloxian 3.0 is a nostalgic classic to me, means that rthro will be a nostalgic classic to the future generation

This is very true, there are some popular faces but the ones that are absolutely forgettable range from " Wait that existed? " to " WHAT IS THIS ".

Fun Fact : The Lynn face is taken from a model pack in the unity store. So is the entire Lynn model and a couple more.

I own a face from a toy code called "Sparkling's Friendly Wink". When I wear the face, it cuts off a little bit on the sides.

I think you might be looking into it too hard. Roblox stands for robot blocks, meaning that (in my interpretation) the faces drawn on the robots you play as are probably just drawn on. I think Roblox had forgotten about that abbreviation with the introduction of rthro, though.

i like how the narrator losed sanity at a alarming rate after finding out persephone's girl glam exists

The faces of the Homestead winners are embedded in their characters' file/model as a base64 image. Back then, custom decals were stored in the decal instance itself and not as an asset in the CDN. you said it yourself in the video, the guy didnt use a 2007 client though, he simply downloaded the model's file, opened it in a text editor, copied the base64 into a decoder and turned it into an image lol

One thing that I think is important now at least is the animated faces because they still have the nice cartoony style but they aren't as you said "locked into one expression" or something like that.

I actually agree with all of this, they make the worst type of faces and right now they are making too much realistic faces for events and toys. I wish they started making more normal faces.

I think they're trying to replicate royale highs faces. But the thing is, its apart of the style of the game so they blend in nicely with the body types. But with the lego cartoony style doesn't look proportioned rightly in comparison to the tall, lanky super modle look of royale high

11:45 imagine this: you are 7 years old, and after weeks of begging your dad to buy a roblox toy for you, he does it. excitedly, you open the box. you are delighted by what’s inside; lord umberhallow, one of the most valuable minifigures in the roblox toys line. you begin to hug your dad and repeat thank you 20 times until you notice a strange silver line on the back of the box, and following the instructions you scratch it using a leftover penny from your room. you see the code, and you type it in. “your code is redeemed!” it says. you hastily check your inventory, hoping to see something cool. but to your horror.. PERSEPHONE’S GIRL GLAM.

In roblox studio i learned that avatars are made of plastic (thanks to rigs) so they are toys or robots.

Interesting trivia, the face.png file was last modified October 5, 2005 as well as the default ROBLOX shirt texture.

"Videogames' purpose is for you, player have a break from reality." Roblox did a fantastic job at creating those classic faces as it makes you feel like your in a different world but in a good way, That's why the community loves them.

Oh my lord, i was expecting your channel to have some 100k subscribers but you only 257? You deserve way more subs!

9:22 The sarge extreme face was made by the people behind the 2012 april Fools hacking incident (during the incident). Roblox simply didn't remote the face. They just hid it by making it offsale, or just forgot about it, i dont really know. Other than that,the video is very good and well worked.

"PERSEPHONES'S E-GIRL GLAM" 💀💀💀

roblox added dynamic heads in 2022 now you didn't have to worry about your face got just one emotion

Usually regular faces are better than faces that are a bit abnormal since they just fit more with avatars

They really tried to tap into the IMVU market with Persephone's Girl Glam

This guy is criminally underrated and deserves more subs

8:40 nah pal face looks like a predator

IMO the only detailed faces that are acceptable are the royale high ones,bcz they actually fit the detailed clothes , hair and acessories from royale high

8:45 this genuinely looks atrocious

You are looking to deep into the lego lore, just imagine a world with ultrarealistic humanoid faces in lego pieces.

well, welcome to the style, a cursed face that can move and change expression.

seriously dude great job on this video, this is the first time i've been this amused in months

Dude its faces for a child's game. I understand that its weird that they don't have a nose, but neither do some cartoon characters. I think you might be over thinking it a bit, although I will say, I agree with you in the last part of the new faces section, and everything past the cat eye section. Keep up the good work!

About the faces, When roblox added decals, every t-shirt was copied, their catalog ID was subtracted by one and then became a decal at the very end. this is why the 1000001st catalog item is a t-shirt version of the 1000000th item. just a crazy idea that is very incorrect on a more related note, if you played a free build game back in the day with an alphabet free model, you would notice the zero is different look than the 1-9. when you put the free model in roblox studio and look at the 1-9 decal you can find out that it was actually used for the score board in the miked paintball tournament event. and if you add 1 to the catalog id, you get a t-shirt!

this is... I agree with everything about the too realistic faces. And about the classic ones YOU NEVER TOUCH THOSE AGAIN

10:39 I love how he is just flying beside the plane

well boys i just got this small channel recommended, meaning its about to blow up on a few weeks. congrats.

I love the man & woman 3.0 faces, they are such icons

I excepted 1 mil subs, u deserve way more. Maybe you’ll get there someday! Keep up the good work!

why are you so entertaining to watch

16:15 Roblox: we won’t let classic players do that *deletes all classic faces*

"roblox powering something i forgot"

I actually own some of the “unrealistic” faces that are offsale, im surprised to see that after 4 years people finally agree that these faces are horrifying

"Roblox faces will improve" - Something that aged like milk

personally i think some rthro packs are good like the anime ones (if they werent on roblox) but royal high bundles hit different lmao, its just like weird but good because its on roblox thats why its weird

Nitro is complaining about how faces just stay the way they are without motion, but Roblox just released Moving faces, and you do NOT want to see it.

This is very true- and very good edit man

Honestly I think the no cohesive identity for the faces further ties into the “you can be anything you can imagine” kind of thing Roblox’s going for Anything includes _anything_

bro is the definition of underrated

I was gonna sleep then got a notification from a channel I don’t recognise but probably made good content. Isn’t the Sarge Extreme face because of the April Fools 2012 hack thing? I thought the other faces were too. I don’t see Roblox actually uploading a graphic face to the website though. I think I’ve heard that Roblox wants to animate your avatars face when you talk, so they’ll finally express (some) emotion now. If it gets implemented I think the bubblegum would still somehow stay. I don’t think there’s a perfect balance between a cartoony and realistic face on Roblox that everyone would like, I can’t think of one at least. I just remembered the “Uncanny valley” Roblox users hated in 2018, which used very realistic faces on Roblox avatars, which fell into the uncanny valley. I’ve faced mighty tribulations deciding which face is worthy to use on my avatar, so I should get Headless this October. I like the faces Cadi and Miked chose for their avatar. I would definitely buy them if they were onsale. I’m pretty sure Roblox used to have a lot more onsale faces and heads back then, but they were taken offsale for some reason before I started making good avatars on Roblox. Tangentially related: I love finding nice items on the catalog just like one of the faces I saw on the video (Crank and Zap Mech) just to find out they’re only obtainable through a Roblox toy. Also yes Roblox faces are weird now that I think of it

Speaking from a development standpoint, how faces work is also kind of weird. T-shirts, accessories, shirts, and pants, all have their own object types based on how you want to apply them to the character. The face is literally just a decal. Using scripts, you can move it around on the player's head, and do funny stuff like place it on the wrong part of their head. Like the back. The game will neither notice, or for that matter, care, because it's just a decal.

Your channel has a lot of potential :)

8:46 there was an old privatized Roblox video that had the pal face guy with the pal hair (he also wore a white with a black striped hoodie)

Honestly, the only problem I have with the original roblox faces is that the mouth is too far from the eyes.

Fun fact: The roblox faces weren't intended to have oval eyes at first. When they added the default smiley face, it ended up getting stretched to fit onto the head shape, resulting in oval eyes. Since players got used to it, they decided to stick to the oval shaped eyes.

Okay, hear me out, the only face that isn't weird (in my opinion) is the stare. It's just the neutral face that people make almost 24/7, probably you are doing the stare face rn. I totally agree that faces are weird for doing an emoción 24/7 forever, but, the stare face doesn't torture your face 24/7! I mean it does stare you like you have done a crime who other people don't know. .. Conclusion: the stare face is the best face. (You can't change my opinion) #StareGang 😐.

"I swear! If I'll see this face one more time I'll-" Entity named R.O.B:

I like the earlier faces, or some of the newer faces that share an aesthetic of the old faces, like the smug, or suspicious face

I just discovered your channel and now... Time to subscribe

6:48 all the faces besides woman and man face were uploaded by the group of hackers responsible of the april fools 2012 hack

That bit with the persephone face was like: "pues si mi ciela, soy real!".

Super good video, you are underrated

fun fact - when the faces were released in december 2008 (yes), the head shape was also updated

nitrolord when the line art faces in the lego game are stylized and cartoony and not a photoshopped in image of david hasselhoff:

11:43 I like how roblox does not allow user and will ban them if they link to another website but roblox did it

Classic roblox faces having the eyes placed higher on the head makes them difficult to work with most hairs on roblox as it makes the characters look like they have underdeveloped heads. Perfectly fine for non-human and unrealistic classic roblox avatars but the introduction of any realism creates a clash. Surprisingly, lego doesn’t have this issue as it places the eyes in the middle of the face instead of higher up like roblox. The 2 custom faces mentioned in the video that were seemingly lost to time also places the eyes closer to the middle of the face.

huh i actually remember the pal face and the other weird looking male ones- they terrified me ngl i never knew they got removed because i just never thought about them since i never saw them again

U are so underrated holy cow. Keep grinding. U got this

14:02 I WILL NOT STAND SHY LADY SLANDER

glad i never had the problem of choosing roblox faces. throughout my outfits from 2017 to now, (i joined in 2016) id always settled on an outfit that either covered my avatar's face or has an full head accessory on top of it, i always thought that was the coolest. the few rare times my face was showing, id just wear the classic smiley face

dude i pray the algorithm blesses you

the fact that now most of the people wear skin as faces or even decapitate their selves😭

The sarge extreme face wasn't made from Roblox. It was made by one of the hackers during the 2012 Incident where an admin account was gotten into. I'm not sure why it is still even on the website but it is there.

I've always been interested in the 'c:' face, which the dr. smyth face replaced. The only face made during the 2012 april fools hack, stickmasterluke is the only one with it, and it looks like the shirt Lammy from UJL wears.

the pal face looks like an extremely great troll face

Imagine just seeing a mouse arrow near you and forcing you to make one expression

At 11:43 imagine getting a new roblox toy then this is the roblox item you get

I agree on everything with you except the Pal face, i think it's a work of art

bruh you described roblox eyes being verticle as if it was a crime or smth, oh and i wonder what you'll think of henry stickmen eyes

Great video, funny parts, and educational/ very good at documenting and analyzing things! Keep up the good work, your channel is very good and has a massive amount of potential!

Bro took "its not that deep bro" as a challenge 💀

15:21 This is me, all the faces look so bad and kind of ruin your avatar when used and it forces you to use the "smile" face if you don't equip any

I've never seen those disturbing faces on the catalog myself when I'm searching it on several occasions, and I hope to NEVER SEE IT AGAIN (well, except FOR THE NEW ONESS)

what about animated faces?

Definitely subscribed, 1:30 in and I'm loving it HAHA

My character is forced for eternity to wear a cone, the same shirt and always nom nom nom

The first animating faces as the default it's weird when you zoom up to the faces

I actually kinda want the 3.0 faces they look silly.

boneless chicken - I wasn’t stalking I promise

I think roblox wanted to release a U.S. Army soldier bundle but scrapped the idea because it was too violent. To this day the Sarge‘s Helmet exists on the Marketplace and the different Sarge‘s Faces were all taken offsale

Dude i remember when r15 was first introduced and i used to test it out on natural disaster survival and being shocked about the extra body parts (shut up i know i phrased it weird)

2:24 is that an emoji smoking a big ass spliff? 2009 emojis were different

12:44 what's the name of the song?

this video made me forget royale high does have these type of faces and i was agreeing nodding my head and then *pop* royale high image appears

Because of your video (very underrated BTW) I now realize the Roblox faces look like Thalasin+ emotions. (due to the large distortions, not any specific one)

The 3.0 man face was the best honestly

16:27 how did he know I was gonna exit out the video? 🤔

i can now see the lazy eye having a bursting eye out

“players nostalgic for the simpler times still enjoy their faces” if only, if only

They are NOT SUPOSSED TO LOOK REAL

Those faces look horrifying, I’ll take the pal face though.

You give off great blue vibes. (I am talking about the TF2 youtuber who is known for saying nerdy shit like "Well actually the sandwich is not a class, therefore there is only 9 meet the team videos").

So this is why they made dynamic faces..
