+title: Emotes specifications
+description: Character specification lists the specific technical requirements for custom characters created outside of Studio.
+---
+
+Emotes are made up of an `Class.Animation` object with the `Class.Animation.AnimationId` property set to the asset ID of your animation sequence.

+
+Only the `Class.Animation` object is required to upload an emote to the Marketplace. Animations do not require meshes, textures, or other 3D art components.
+
+## Animation requirements
+
+Emotes must also meet the following requirements or may fail validation:
+
+- Emotes must be less than 10 seconds.
+- The joint root of the character can not move too far from its starting position.
+- Movement speed can't exceed a certain threshold to prevent teleportation abuse (measured from a frame-by-frame basis).
+- Animation data must reference an R15 rig.
+- Animation must be sourced from a `CurveAnimation`. For information on converting animation data, see [import and configure](./import.md#generate-asset-id).
+- Animations must meet [Marketplace](../../marketplace/marketplace-policy.md) and [Community](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203313410-Roblox-Community-Standards) policies.
