Templates

If you are creating character models, you can choose from a variety of starting templates that best match your final design and save time on creating the avatar components. See Create with templates for important information on using these template files.

Each .zip contains a .blend, .fbx, and PBR texture .png files for that template model. If using Blender or following the template creation guides, use the .blend project.

If you are using Roblox's avatar template files, you must perform the [cleanup steps](../../art/characters/creating/combine-head-geometry.md) in order for the assets to properly validate before publishing to the Marketplace.
