A high-level overview of avatar items on Roblox.
Create and sell your first 3D avatar item.
Every Roblox user is represented by a customizable character called an avatar. Avatars are character models with many specialized features that allow users to interact with experiences and customize themselves with a wide range of clothing and accessories from the Marketplace.
Whether you're creating and selling a basic accessory, clothes, or an avatar character body, your general workflow involves the following:
Modeling and creation — Create the asset in a third-party software such as Blender or Maya.
- Roblox supports many types of third-party models, but assets intended for the Marketplace require their own specifications for rigid accessories, clothing accessories, and bodies.
Importing and uploading — Add your creation to the Roblox servers through Studio.
- Initial validation and moderation of the asset occurs during this stage. See each item category section for specific instructions.
Publishing and selling — Manage your asset on your Creator Dashboard where you can set your item price and other Marketplace configurations before you enable the item for sale.
- See Marketplace for an overview of this process.
