| Makeup | Makeup is a cosmetic look made up of multiple facial textures and optional eyebrow and eyelashes. |
You can [download](#resources) this template and a test place file.
Components of makeup
Makeup is made up of multiple textures baked into a Class.Decal that you can apply to a face of a character. There are three primary regions of the face (eyes, lips, face/cheeks) that you can apply textures to. Each region has some overlapping surfaces with other regions.
You can optionally include eyebrows and eyelashes with makeup. These are Class.Model containing Class.MeshPart objects with skinning and caging data.
You can quickly apply any makeup Decal objects and accessories by dragging them from the imported reference head into the appropriate character's Makeup or Accessories folder.
Makeup template
The makeup template resource, available in the Makeup Beta downloadable resource is a 3D model asset that allows creators to quickly import premade makeup assets into their own 3D modeling tools where you can modify, create, and preview your own makeup assets.
The makeup template includes the following:
- Target head mesh object and target head cage mesh object.
- Eye region mesh, fully linked to reference PBR textures
- Lip region mesh, fully linked to reference PBR textures
- Multiple face region mesh objects, fully linked to reference PBR textures
- Eyebrows and eyelash mesh objects.
For a general workflow on authoring makeup using the template, see the makeup creation process.
Creation process
Makeup is currently in beta. Check out the DevForum announcement for the latest information on additional features, tools, and details regarding creating or implementing makeup.
While you can easily swap decal images in Studio to make a quick change to a character's makeup, the following instructions is a best practice for implementing PBR-based textures into Roblox makeup at scale. This process requires:
- The Makeup test place and template files
- A 3D modeling tool such as Blender or Maya
- Any PBR texturing software, such as Substance Painter, Materialize, or plugins like Ucupaint (Blender).
As always with 3D art and creation workflows, there are many ways to achieve a specific goal and that is no different for makeup and your own PBR publishing flow.
-
Download a reference template head and open it in the general modeling software of your choice.
- You can choose between a reference mesh and reference cage templates. The authoring flow is the same between these two, but reference mesh may be easier for artists to visualize the applicable region of the makeup texture.
-
Using your texturing tools or an image editing software, modify the texture images associated with the different regions:
TransferTexture_Eyes,TransferTexture_Face, orTransferTexture_Lips. -
When you've created your new texture images, use Blender or Maya to replace the existing file textures in the template.
-
Export the entire template file as a
.fbxor.gltf. See Export specifications for additional export instructions from Maya or Blender. -
Import the template file into Studio. Studio should automatically detect your mesh object names and associated textures and generate
Decalobjects.
-
Apply any makeup decals or eyebrow and eyelash accessories to characters in the test place by dropping makeup assets in the appropriate character's
MakeuporAccessoriesfolder.
-
Press Play, and navigate to the character with new makeup assets to preview.
