Roblox isn't just about playing, it's also about expressing yourself. One of the best ways to stand out in the Roblox universe is to use your avatar, commonly known as a "skin". Whether you want to be a futuristic warrior, a pastel fairy, or a meme-worthy character, your Roblox skin is your identity. In this article, we'll dive into everything you need to know about Roblox skins: what they are, how to get them, how to customize them, and even how to make your own.
What are Roblox skins?
In Roblox, a "skin" refers to the appearance of your character or avatar. This includes body shape, clothing, accessories, face, animations, etc. You can make your avatar look whatever you want: realistic, blocky, scary, cute, or downright weird, which is a big part of Roblox's charm.
There are two main types of avatars in Roblox:
R6 Avatars: Use 6 body parts and have a blocky look, similar to classic Lego characters.
R15 Avatars: They have 15 joints for more realistic animation and offer more customization and movement options.
