I remember in 2012 when the “man” package came out, there was a meme on the forums of how ROBLOX characters would become realistic and more humanl-like by 2020. We all thought it was a joke… little did we know

As a r6 animator I say r6 is much better than r15 and it is not only because its simplicity is elegant, but it has so much oppurtunities and looks more like roblox, and everyone will like it, it is the best rig because we don't just rotate it, but we can move it, and it is much better, as lots of good animation games as "the strongest battlegrounds" and "Chains" has r6, so r6 is really good, but you are right that r15 is for more detail, but I prefer r6 better.

[@JeLeff.]

the reason why the strongest battlegrounds has R6 is to make it fair for everyone

[@Kry-robloxyt]

and it was easier to animate

[@Ryber1]

R6 looks so much better than r15 or meshes

[@Kighty]

damn i just realize that r6 and r15 stands for the amount of parts that the character has, that actually makes sence too

[@BelugaRoblox_YT]

And R stands for Rig

[@theletteraether]

and it also stands for the year

[@Kighty]

@@theletteraether um i dont think so, r15 release for around 2016

[@Boxjrs]

I understand he is making a video about r6 and r15 but there is a huge misunderstanding he made while making this since he said if Roblox makes a change that automatically changes r6 to r15 not many people would care but honestly that’s wrong and the reason why is because it’s such a iconic thing like why would you remove that another thing is how much Roblox players do care about r6 many animations use it, it’s literally the representation of Roblox if that thing where gone tomorrow the Roblox community would go crazy

[@RaelFlow]

i love the little easter eggs like 0:22 ;)

[@FireTime.official]

you still can change from R15 to R6 and I think the R stands for Rotation because R6 has 6 rotation points and R15 has 15 rotation points (there is also Rthro........)

[@Bloxxer0908]

[@MrEgCCBee]

Only og’s know that original video name was “why Roblox Stoped Caring About R6 Rig”

[@JeLeff.]

true

[@Kry-robloxyt]

it depends with animating if you want really detailed animations then r15 is the right thing if you want simpler and easier animations it's then r6

[@YEWCHENGYINMoe]

i like r6 bc of the bugs

[@Yesil_Ata]

I WOULD be RAGED ENRAGED if r6 gets removed its much more simpler better to animate easier an iconic avatar for roblox and there is a lot people using r6 animations in their game or advanced in r6 animations (LIKE ME) that loves r6 more than r15

[@RofinityRoblox]

You’re honestly the best Roblox dev KZbinr

[@mimivrc4148]

as someone new to roblox, I find it very annoying when I join a game and I'm the old R6 avatar because roblox should let the player *set an R6 fallback avatar* my avatar looks really bad when it is forced into the R6 since it is fully set up for R15. what I think roblox should do is, in the avatar customizer, let you toggle between R15 and R6, as it already does, but it isn't replacing one or the other, you just set what you want your avatar to be in these modes. so toggle it to R6, set up how you want to look in R6 games, then toggle to R15 and set up your "normal" avatar how you want to look in R15 games.

[@midi_feline]

The default R15 animations honestly just look weird on anything other than Rthro if you pay attention. I really don't like all these holes in the character and parts clipping through eachother. It looks especially bad on square avatars

[@Arandomrobloxplayer123]

Hey, I’m planning to buy your studio course and I have two questions 1, does it teach programming as well? Aka luau and second, is it videos and tutorials or something else

[@byteblox100]

Yeah like the majority of the course is scripting and features stuff like data storing, functions, beginner stuff, gui, animations, etc. It’s just videos but there are built in quizzes you can do and I also have all of the assets in the course that you can download

[@MakianTheWorld]

I like R15 better. It is easier to rescale and customize, and the animations made for it can be as realistic as you want and its just easier to achieve more complex poses using it

[@Aggelosyea]

i think u should mention that u can use the Animator controller instead of humanoid if what u are creating doesnt have to walk

[@Spooky.Studios]

we also have strafing animations thanks to this

[@gamor_lol]

The only reason I use R6 is because if I try making the body visible in first person and walk the hands go in the freaking camera because of the animation and I am too lazy to change it.

[@AdamNeverStopsGaming]

0:22 you can still go r6 in the scale tab

[@dominiccaesarok5077]

R6 is better than R15. R6 has slowly over time been replaced with R15 most likely due to Roblox pushing R15 and developers preferring the freedom and customizability. Some people still support R6 though mostly due to simplicity, charm, and most faint physics. In my honest opinion R6 is better not only subjectively but also objectively. There is many cons and pros of each but R6's pros and cons outweigh R15's. First is R6 which is made in 2007. R6 has a unique charm to it with the classic vibes contrasting the modern vibes of today's Roblox, and in addition people just like classic. R6 also has the upper hand in simplicity and ease of use, due to it having less parts than R15 it generally is easier to make games with and with less lag. A niche group in Roblox are the obbyists they usually only use R6 due to it having better physics for parkour in general. That is why some think R6 is better. Some say R15 which is made in September 29, 2016 is better than R6. One of the reasons why R15 is better is the detail, realism, and expressiveness of R15 due to it having more parts. Another reason is Roblox is supporting R15 more than R6. Aside from that while using R15 curved arms are possible even if curved arms are possible in R6 it would require a workaround. Now which is better R6 or R15. As stated by another commenter @gabiu2429 (2024) "Not every R6 animation is epic, but the ones that are make me cry with joy internally, while any R15 animation is already "expected" to be good so people usually don't care about them." (p. 3) the potential for an animation in R6 is greater than it is in R15. R6 also has a certain charm which R15 lacks. Some might say the detail in R15 makes up for what it lacks but honestly if you cant make R6 feel real that's probably just skill issue. Curved arms is one advantage that R15 has over R6 I admit that but there are workarounds. R6 also makes it easier to make games due to less time animating because of less parts and less parts also mean less lag. Some also say R15 has more support and updates but most of the updates for R15 is mediocre at best and if we support R6 Roblox will inevitably support R6. Weighing these pros and cons R6 is just generally better. In conclusion R6 is subjectively and objectively better than R15. R6 has simplicity, charm, and physics going for it. R15 has detail, and realism going for it. With that I shall conclude this essay I apologize if I made any mistakes or missed something constructive criticism is allowed ( I'm bad at essays pls forgive me :( )

[@doorHandle262]

Your essay could use some improvement in terms of grammar, clarity, and overall structure. Here are the main areas to focus on: Grammar: Pay attention to subject-verb agreement (e.g., say "There are many pros and cons" instead of mixing singular and plural), and make sure you're using proper capitalization, especially for terms like "R6" and "R15." Clarity: Avoid vague expressions like "most faint physics." Instead, use clearer language, like "simpler physics," so your meaning is easier to grasp. Structure: Work on the flow between ideas. Try not to jump from one topic to another too quickly. Use transitions like "Additionally" or "Furthermore" to assist the reader through your ideas. Argumentation: Make sure to back up your arguments with examples and clear reasoning. For instance, explain why R6's simplicity is more important than R15's focus on realism. In short, focus on refining your grammar, being more specific, and improving the flow of your ideas to strengthen the essay overall. 5/10.

@@doorHandle262 Jesus, would it kill ya to put spaces or capitalise anything? Also most of this is subjective tho I do agree R6 is better by a mile

"First is R6 which is made in December 1, 2015." BRO IT WAS MADE IN SEPTEMBER 1 2006 ARE YOU DUMB

[@JeLeff.]

wdym R6 was made in December 1 2015, what do you think they used before that, R3?

[@GamingNoobWithOutAbs]

i personally think the r6 rig looks better. if they made the r15 rig look like the r6 one with the same animations that would basically be an upgrade to me

[@doorzbruh]

video suggestion: Making a roblox game with ONLY code (no built in features from roblox)

[@VaporeonMeow]

R6 is much better, I genuinely don't understand how people think R15 is better. I would be really mad if they removed R6 or automatically converted it to R15 using only the upper limbs for animations like you said, and Rigs like those do actually exist already and are being experimented with. (They look REALLY bad.) I also wanna mention that this isn't me being blinded by nostalgia or because I'm used to R6. I started with R15 and used it for over half a decade until I found out about R6 and tried using it. (You can choose between R6 and R15 in the avatar editor actually.) I haven't been able to go back to R15 since. R15 is by no means bad, and a lot of games just work better with R15 but highly prefer R6.

[@GingerBreadDogez]

1 minute ago can't wait to watch him edge! :)

[@mindtacky7487]

I prefer R6 for my game, because i make auras with animations, and i struggle with R6 animation, can't even imagine animations for R15. But if i could make smooth animations for R15 i'd definitely use it, cuz it adds more customization to the game, and more detailed or advanced animations to game.

[@sixty5notch796]

[@Casuality7070]

What is a YingYang that uses only one color? Is it still a YingYang? It's a delicate design that can only work if both parties are involved, which is why keeping R6 is crucial.

[@BlakeLindsay-v6p]

It’s probably because of investments, the more money ROBLOX has, the higher their taxes, so the more they lose in taxes, so instead, they blow as much money as possible on making the game look attractive to investors, because the money they have in investments doesn’t fully legally count as company owned, therefore, they only can be taxed by it when they cash it in, which they do when they need money, so they have most of their money stored in stock investors, and they won’t invest unless the game looks somewhat futuristic, the more realistic the avatars, the better for investors, ROBLOX lost their goal I think though. It started with a real-time physics engine, nothing was pre calculated or anything, it was really cool, then, a 3d physics engine, they were nearly impossible for real-time physics, then, they made real-time light, most games pre-baked lighting, essentially, it was an online interactive game where everything was simulated in real time, it was revolutionary, R15 being defaulted just moved ROBLOX away from their goal, which was to revolutionise gaming and be fully real-time and fully simulated. Layered clothing, Rthro, R15. Not a part of that goal, just making the game look nice, The Future Is Bright lighting update is about the only thing that they’re still working on that relates to the original goal and isn’t just getting caught up in investments.

As an animator R6 rigs are much better they allow for more fluid movements to be made in a shorter amount of time and IMO look better

[@gabiu2429]

R6 animation is harder to master because you need to know what you're doing and how to make subtle movements that express exactly what feeling you want when you're animating. It also gives me a better vibe than R15, but thats personal. R6 is art, R15 is standard: easy and functional most of the time. Not every R6 animation is epic, but the ones that are make me cry with joy internally, while any R15 animation is already "expected" to be good so people usually don't care about them. Edit: I'm an artist and I make animations
