# The social 3D creation platform

Roblox lets you create anything you can imagine with a comprehensive set of powerful 3D collaborative creation tools.

Our platform provides you with unparalleled opportunities to create content from simple avatar items to immersive, multiplayer experiences.

# All the tools you need, for free

Roblox simplifies creation by providing free tools, hosting, and infrastructure that power automatic, synchronous real-time gameplay as well as covering storage, localization, and payment processing.

### Roblox Studio

The all-in-one IDE with generative AI technology for building, scripting, testing, and publishing Roblox experiences.

[Get Studio](/docs/en-us/studio/setup.md) [Learn more](/docs/en-us/studio.md)

### Roblox Engine

An advanced 3D engine with access to robust data storage, physics simulation, and standard primitives to build anything you can imagine.

[API reference](/docs/en-us/reference/engine.md) [Guides](/docs/en-us/creation.md)

### Open Cloud

A set of web-based APIs that let you build tools and apps to access your creations.

[API reference](/docs/en-us/cloud.md) [Guides](/docs/en-us/cloud/guides.md)

### Creator Hub

Manage your creations, view analytics, track earnings, and connect with the community, all from your web browser.

[Go to Creator Hub](https://create.roblox.com/)

# Large, multiplayer experiences on any device

Experiences are the 3D worlds you create, including games, communication or learning environments, visual showcases, concerts, real life simulations, and more.

[Get started](/docs/en-us/experiences.md) [Engine API](/docs/en-us/reference/engine.md)

### Simulated by default

Construct 3D worlds that closely simulate real life with out-of-the-box objects and services. The Roblox engine provides default behavior and logic that do the heavy lifting.

### Infinitely customizable

Almost everything in Roblox is customizable and dynamic, letting you override default properties in the engine at build time or with scripts at runtime.

### Intelligent client streaming

The Roblox engine adjusts how it delivers your experiences to clients based on available resources, so anything you create runs on all devices automatically.

# Expressive avatars for everyone

Avatars persist across all Roblox experiences by default, allowing users to create unique characters and outfits to take with them wherever they go. Create anything from clothing, accessories, animations, and even complete characters.

[Get started](/docs/en-us/avatar.md) [3D art resources](/docs/en-us/art.md)

### Fully customizable characters

Create full characters or individual body parts that users can equip.

[Avatar characters](/docs/en-us/avatar/character-bodies.md)

### Expressive body and face animations

Animations let avatars move with their body and face.

[Facial animation](/docs/en-us/avatar/dynamic-heads.md) [Character animation](/docs/en-us/tutorials/use-case-tutorials/animation/create-an-animation.md)

### Layered clothing

Clothing can layer on top of each other on a multitude of different body shapes and types.
