Roblox revealed the release of two cutting-edge AI technologies on March 18, 2024, at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. These technologies are intended to streamline and accelerate the development of 3D content. The purpose of these two tools—Avatar Auto Setup and Texture Generator—is to increase the productivity and inventiveness of platform designers.
By automating the complicated task of transforming 3D body models into fully animated avatars, Avatar Auto Setup drastically cuts down on the amount of time needed for human wiring. What used to take days may now be finished in a matter of minutes, freeing up creators to concentrate less on technical concerns and more on creativity.

Conversely, Texture Generator offers straightforward text prompts that enable developers to rapidly alter the look of 3D things. With the help of this tool, artists may experiment with various textures and styles with greater freedom and speed. For instance, a designer can specify the desired appearance, and a texture generator would generate a corresponding texture if they wanted a distinctive texture for a wooden treasure chest. This functionality makes it possible to produce several asset versions and iterate efficiently.

Roblox has shown its dedication to innovation by making significant investments in AI-driven features. The business previously released Code Assist, an AI tool that gives authors code recommendations, and automated chat translations, which facilitate smooth communication between users with various language backgrounds. According to Toya Play, about 300 million characters of proposed code were approved by the designers of Code Assist during its beta phase. Furthermore, Roblox’s TextChatService has seen a twofold increase in usage after the introduction of automatic chat translations, with 19.7 billion translated messages—a testament to AI’s efficacy in removing language barriers.
Roblox’s goal is to make content creation more accessible and efficient, enabling more people to bring their ideas to life on the platform. With Avatar Auto Setup and Texture Generator now available, Roblox is well-positioned to support a new wave of AI-powered content, fostering a creative and engaging environment for its users.
