| − | Many people criticize UGC due to the fact of many unoriginal and lazy hats. Tarabyte (a former Roblox admin) is one of the UGC creators. She is criticized due to making lazy and unoriginal hats. She is most criticized due to her most recent hats which are: Biggesthead, Triple Headstack, Despacito Spider, and finally Illuminati. Biggesthead and Triple Headstack are criticized due to being lazy reskins of the Bighead (series) and the Headstack items. Despacito and Illuminati are criticized due to Despacito Spider being a dead meme and a free model. Illuminati is criticized due to being a dead meme aswell. Another UGC creator, Erythia, is criticized due to making remakes of the Antlers (series). The last UGC creator, WhoToTrus, is criticized due to making Downtown Deizen Fedora- a controversial hat. Due to looking like the exact same item as the Classic Roblox Fedora. |

Revision as of 00:19, 4 October 2019
Fresh Red Baseball Cap, the first official user-generated accessory.
User Generated Content (UGC for short) is a catalog feature that allows users to publish their own items and sell them. These unique items can be viewed under the Community Creations category. The feature was initially announced at RDC 2015[citation needed], but its confirmation was declared at RDC 2019[1]. It released on August 15, 2019 to certified users on the site. Before its release, Roblox had confirmed that this feature will only be allowed to certain users at first, many had suspected that popular Roblox content creators in the official Roblox Video Stars Program will have access to it, although that is not the case.
Roblox has reached out to reveal that they will sometime in the future depend on content created by eligible users rather than prioritizing assets made by the official ROBLOX account, managed by admins to publish items as default.
Whenever a user publishes an accessory, they can input customized descriptions, Robux price, genres, and much more. However, releasing limited unique items and making existing items limited is still restricted to ROBLOX. Although, Roblox states they want to move in a direction where creators can publish their own limited items to sell to other users[2], their only issue with this concept is that there are a very minimal amount of eligible creators and in part of fact that they have been lacking in limited releases currently.

Criticism
The UGC feature has mostly been criticized due to potential copies of pre-existing catalog items by ROBLOX or unoriginal ideas, such as the various hats by tarabyte (BiggestHead, Illuminati, Despacito Spider, and Triple Headstack) and the antlers hats by Erythia.
It has more notably been criticized by the trading community for fears of limited and limited unique items dropping in value. This originally began when the Downtown Denizen Fedora was uploaded by WhoToTrus, which had been claimed by a portion of the community to be a ripoff of The Classic ROBLOX Fedora despite the Downtown Denizen Fedora using a higher quality mesh and texture than the classic fedora.
Trivia
This section is a trivia section. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections of the article.
- In order to properly create User Generated Content on Roblox, users would need to practice the many skills required to form retextures of the many hats, gears, and faces present on the catalog. This can be efficiently done by using a computer graphics software tool named Blender which is the most common program used to create customized items. Likewise, creators need to have a clear understanding of applying a texture to a mesh.
- Though this entire concept is not new, players have been brainstorming and sharing ideas of their own of retextures through uploading models and meshes onto the Library section of the catalog over many years.
