ROBLOX Brings You…
embed Being a real clothes horse myself, I recognize the hitherto unmentionable tragedy that is the ROBLOXian fashion scene. It’s dismal. I say to you now ROBLOXia, no more! ROBLOX brings you shiny new shirts and pants! But that’s not all! Look at this long list of improvements we’ve made to ROBLOX in the past two weeks… strong strong Anyone can purchase new shirts and pants in the There’s a more First go to your character customization page. You’ll notice that you now have a wardrobe that shows all of your clothes by type. Click the type of item you would like to create (Shirts or Pants). Then click "Create". Alright. Now you’ll see a screen that looks like this: First you need to download the shirt template to your computer. This is a picture that you draw on to create you own shirt. I personally use a very old version of Paint Shop Pro to create my shirts. You can use whichever image editing program you like. Once you’ve painted your shirt, click the "Browse" button to select your shirt file and click "Create Shirt". The shirt will show up in your wardrobe. Congrats! You’ve made your first new shirt! strong You’ll notice that the Shirt Template file you download looks crazy and has lots of pretty colors. Fear not — You are about to become a 3D graphics artist! The basic idea here is that the shirt template is "folded" up and wrapped around your character, like origami. If you were to print out the template below, you could cut out all the colored rectangles, tape them together, and create a real-life 3D shirt. That’s what ROBLOX does for you - once you upload your shirt template image. If you’re still confused, check out the strong Old shirts are now called "T-Shirts". You can still wear them. You can even wear a T-Shirt and a Shirt at the same time! At the moment T-Shirts are draw on top of regular shirts - this doesn’t make sense and will probably change in a future release. strong Another sweet feature we snuck in this release is Favorites. A Favorite is a way to bookmark places (and things) that you like so that you can easily find them in the future. Never again hunt for You can also delete favorites so that your list of bookmarks doesn’t get cluttered. Pretty cool. We are hoping that this feature will help promote levels that everyone knows are fun, but that don’t get played anymore because they can’t get to the top of the Most Popular Now page. We also think its fun to browse our friend’s pages and see what their favorite ROBLOX games are. So fav+ a few things and show off your good taste! strong In conclusion, ROBLOX has just gotten 37% more awesome. Enjoy! - Telamon a
