Another rig is R11 which is just R15 but without hands and feet being separate parts to the lower arms and legs. It's a pretty simple and neat alternative to R15, and most people actually won't really notice the difference between the 2 unless they look closely at the rig. You can most notably see R11 be used in HOURS, still keeping a lot of the expressiveness and body language of the characters. I definitely can see R11 be used as an alternative for R15 in action-focused animations, and it's already been used in some fighting games.

[@thaias9654]

Yhe hands and feet are the ugliest parts of R15 so i absolutely want that to be used more often.

In simple terms. R6: good for beginners, and still looks good if u still use it as an advanced animator. R15: takes a long time to animate but looks good for advanced animatord

as much as i grew up with r6 (first playing in 2014), r15 is honestly my go to rig for characters, mostly because of how clunky animations can fit with gritty settings + being able to apply accurate mocap anims to them. what's impressive is that not only this is an unbiased video, but it also brings attention to the fact people have remixed and remastered rigs to further expand on how characters in roblox are animated. roblox animations have truly evolved for the best (and quite possibly, yeah...)

[@SourceEnginePlayer]

Simple. For blockier characters, use R6. For more humanoid avatars, such as those using the "Boy" or "Girl" limb shapes, used R15. However, if you still want to have folding arms on a blocky R6, use R11. Its the same as R15, but without hands and feet. Its great for stuff like picking up things.

I think both are equal ngl U can use r6 for body language U can use r15 for fighting animations U can basically use whatever u want and is still good, but r15 is better with body language, and r6 being better with fighting (I personally like r6 more because I think r15 just looks weird)

It pretty much depends imo, R6 has its own charm and so does R15. But most cases... Especially in blocky avatars, R15 is just odd. So that means that a blocky avatar fits better with R6, while the other types of body fits for R15

I actually thought of a custom rig that would be cool. R11, it's similar to R15 but it gets rid of the feet and hand appendages and it would look similar to remeshed R15 so that there's no overlapping issues and ugly bevels. It's like a medium between R6 and R15 but it lean more to R15 but is meant to keep a classic look therefore getting rid of the hands and feet.

R6 is if you want to make a simple yet effective animation, R15 is for more detailed animations. Either way, i love both of them but i just lean more into R15 even though its more time consuming.

[@tackyinbention6248]

This wouldnt be as bad as an issue if they worked with each other I wonder if there could just be some R6 animation pack for R15 bodies. Maybe it would let r6 characters appear in R15 games that feels like it might ease tensions

[@lolliii5477]

how much? you(probably using R-whatev): i had done nothing but animating for 3 days

[@DrFeast_3000]

So I’ve seen that r15 with the single mesh body parts used in a yakuza like roblox game (right 2 fight, it’s been discontinued sadly) The way I see r6 and r15 is too roughed up options. However I still see r6 closer too a more perfect option. Personally, I think that r15 single mesh is about as close as we get to a perfect animation rig, at least for stylization. I’ve never animated a day in my life, so I’ll never know how hard, or potentially easy in comparison, it is to use that rig. However, the single mesh r15 rig I think is the future. It keeps that beautiful simplicity of r6, of which I’d love to see be used for some still quick shots in an r6 style for a game, and the rest be in the r15 animation style, while still giving that lively aspect. I don’t remember exactly what the waist part is like, but instead if it were more like the entire torso will twist slightly, then I think it’d be the best it’d be. The only issue with a fully twisting torso is any torso accessories one might be wearing. Regardless, I personally think that giving roblox characters no distinct hands actually helps the style. It’s a charm I’ve personally always loved for roblox avatars, and the r15 hands and feet are my biggest killers for it. And i also honestly don’t like the 3d hands and fingers people are doing recently. The single mesh concept, with a slightly twistable torso, is very reminiscent to early minecraft animation, which, lo and behold, can be a good thing. It’s a great style, no hands, and I love the look of the cleanly bending arms and legs, if you want someone to look behind themself, have them turn their head and slightly twist the torso, maybe have then angle their leg too, and there you go. You don’t need a closing in to 90 degree turn for the roblox waist to have them look behind themself. Sorry for the yap. In short, r6 on top, but single mesh r15 with slightly twistable torso is future.

[@OperativeQuebec]

Personally, I like r6, it’s good for beginning animators, if you try you can make things feel alive and not really stiff, I play a game called Build Your Base and Troops (BYBAT), r6 is the thing we use and it’s awesome, easy to use and yeah pretty much cool. I’ve also used moon animator, r6 is just better in moon as well. R15 is for beginners but it’s hard to make these complex adjustments to make things feel ALIVE.

If you're very good with making complex animations, go for R15. If you think that less is more and are very creative at showing the idea through as less as possible go for R6.

[@rodneybuckentime4838]

gonna be real, so many of these rigs being entirely gated to people who haven't had experience animating feels like a big turn-away, but that's just me i guess also, is it just me, or does the v8 rig look a bit... weird? unsettling? I'm not sure what the right word for it is, it's kind of just off-putting.

[@PleaseBanDan]

Good video, r7 on top

[@SumiYokai]

It's incredible to me how Roblox managed to divide the R6 model into more parts to animate and somehow made it look absolutely worse. It's supposed to be more fluid and realistic but it really isn't. I think the biggest problem comes from the parts clipping into each other, which doesn't feel as bad when it's in R6.

Honestly, keep both although more people (that I've seen, including me so this might be biased) love R6 more than R15, R15 is good for complex movements, being dances, animations, or natural things but in R6's favor, its more simple, sometimes funnier, and more iconic, and if it needs to do complex movements, creators only need to focus on the general movement, as the limbs can pivot(examples being the Iconic russian dance(I forgot the name), it only needs to focus on the main legs movements and arm movements, whilst R15 needs to focus on the elbows and knees too, and be careful with pixel fighting to be fully honest, it would have to be a tie, but R15 has one more limit than R6, yet R6 also has one more limit on R15, so now it only depends on which is liked more by the community
