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.

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

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.

[@shanewaslost4283]

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!

[@doctorcaduceus2672]

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.

[@Kekki1300]

You don't need a script to place it behind the head or whatever.

[@arro2546]

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

[@KennethPlaysOfficial]

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.

me, who’s been using mr chuckles since 2013 and now just see the horrors of the arthro faces when looking at the catalogue nowadays: well, even with any part of the catalogue which has OD dog whistles galore and other icky stuff you have to sift through to get anything somewhat nice, and i’m just sitting there like, “where are these kids parents…” i still use robloxian 2.0 and my avatar looks straight out of 2012-2013 but now modern games on roblox stretch and distort the model so much, it makes my avatar look… not great, and makes me not play certain games but most of those games aren’t great anyways so whatever.

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.
