Vex

good morning @Roblox its so fun that you allow these thieves to counter notice with a black on white counter notice template! Using fake ip to get stuff reinstated but I HAVE TO FILE A LAWSUIT to prove so the OBVIOUS COPY wont be reinstated? Are we dead ass why do i have to prove instead maybe make the thief id verify to even be able to send counter notices. If u can scan kids ids and faces for verification and safety im sure its almost like you could copy that for counter notices too! Would be too easy and too safe sigh… John is allegedly the owner of the emotes animation!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I wonder why roblox the only platform with these amount of dmca issues… it feels illegal is there something roblox can be held acountable for? Im petty and i got money if u counter notice L,XOXO‘s Emotes you will see 🩷🩷🩷 @robloxdevrel #RobloxUGC #RobloxDev

its been months and i feel like im have to adress this publicly. Since Emotes went public there has been a surge in Thiefs and Reuploaded Assets. Its been a problem for UGC for a while, but especially Emotes are the ones being stolen in MASSES. With only a couple click you can download Animations and import them into Studio. It also just takes some more click to publish them using Alt Accounts. These Groups are made by mostly Alt Accounts to protect their main Account from being Terminated. Youd probably think you can remove the stolen Reuploads easily with their "Game Changing" Removal Requests Tool in the IP Tab on the Creator Dashboard. If you thought its easy, well its not! 99% of Removal Requests get rejected because of "not containing enough originality". I just want to remind ANYONE that even if its simple Poses or Trendy Dances on Tiktok you cant just steal someones work. It doesnt matter if choreography is copyrighted or not. If you are stealing someones ANIMATION and REUPLOAD it you are a Thief and break Roblox TOS. Your work is automatically protected by COPYRIGHT. For original Choreographies and Tiktok dances the Creators of that Dance have the right to take down any fanmade uploads of their fanmade animations. This doesnt mean a fanmade animation is allowed to be stolen (sloley for clarification since many alr told me they are allowed to steal my Emotes...) Many of us UGC Creators were victims of stolen Reuploaded Emotes by Groups that make this their living. Let me just bring an example of the BEST SELLING UGC EMOTE CREATOR ON ROBLOX!!!! Wow what an achievement selling allegedly 1.6M Emotes within 2 Months. The Best selling EMOTE UGC CREATOR is a THIEF and a ASSET REUPLOADER. The groups name is "vr'" which is owned by cirtually. A "UGC Creator" that has been sending out false counterclaims on Takedown Request with false info. Also having the audacity to write "all copies will be DMCA" on each emotes like its not a fucking stolen reupload. What did Roblox do about it? Nothing. How long did Roblox have time to do something about it? 2 Months. When did they know? August. I have talked to people working at Roblox. They promised me a action against specific reuploaders ASAP. Its been 3 weeks already and the Best selling Thief has already earned roughly 20Million Robux! Yes about 80k USD and still no consequences. Me and other Creators worked hard on getting this resolved with Roblox back when Public Emotes rolled out and the first Emotes were stolen. To this day we have no idea why its even taking so long to atleast take action on the biggest Thiefs. Isnt it weird someone is counterclaiming every alleged "fake" Takedown Request. Yes you can get verified by being a Thief. Just put UGC CREATOR in your BIO and People will think your work and art is your passion in life. In fact its just a whole lot of bullshit and stealing. I just want yall to know how bad it is if he really made the alleged 20M Robux. Thats 20M Robux STOLEN from ORIGINAL CREATORS 80 THOUSAND DOLLARSSSS many of the copies selling better than the originals. Bot Email Replies from Customer Support. Rejected Removal Requests. ID Verification is BULLSHIT since its not bound to your legal when it comes to receiving DMCA. We are left alone with Roblox giving Thiefs a platform and boosting them on their shit ass algorithm. Top Trending. Best Selling. as if you want people to steal to maximize profit... HELLO???? IS CAN SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS??? ESPECIALLY THIS FUCK ASS. GET HIS DAMN ID NAME AND I WANT A LAWSUIT IDGAF ITS 80 FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLARS @robloxdevrel #PROTECTYOURCREATORS #Roblox #RobloxUGC #RobloxDev

¡Gracias por todo, @robloxdevreles ! Un gran evento, con ganas del próximo Mixer 🔥

@Christocreamy Hey! You should be able to use the left and right arrows for that. If you’re trying to rotate the body, there’s a feature too, just keep in mind that Roblox handles emote thumbnail rotation by using the LowerTorso and only rotating it on its local Y axis

@VexotDev This is a fantastic plugin. My one bit of feedback (If it is even possible) is could there be a way to horizontally move the character. I can only go up and down but for this emote that turns your body into a arrow, I desperately need it to go left and right.

Just released a plugin for UGC Emote animators! 🎭 Tired of Roblox’s automatic emote thumbnails? Here’s the fix. Full control over previews Manual install required due to Creator Store limits. Early build, PRs/issues welcome! github.com/Vexot/CustomEm… #RobloxDev #Roblox #RobloxUGC

@NovaAnimated Roblox when ACTUAL dmca takedowns: "we can't do anything 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️" Roblox when false dmca takedowns: "oh ok!!! We've taken it down👍👍👍👍"

@TheMysteryPl4ys Sorry for the wait! I was abroad and didn’t have my laptop with me

@VexotDev Thank you!! (Could’ve been a bit early lol, I just uploaded my emote to marketplace 3h ago 🥀), I’ll definitely use this for my next uploads!!

@enwyadi x.com/VexotDev/statu…

@VexotDev Could you make a video on how to add the plugin in studio ?

@lukashmny x.com/VexotDev/statu…

@VexotDev got always the same problem "FloatCurve index is out of range"

@TheMysteryPl4ys Hey! I just added a quick tutorial video on how to install the plugin to the GitHub repo. Dropping it here too just in case

Hi, I’m having problems trying to insert the plugin into studios (basically lost atp) if you can guide me in DMs or here please do! I’m currently uploading emotes rn. What I have so far Roblox Studio Local Plugin (folder) CustomEmoteThumbnail-0.1.0 (folder) customemote.bz2 (white note) CustomEmote Thumbnail (1) (blender) CustomEmoteThumbnail-0.1.0 - Copy (folder) CustomEmoteThumbnail-0.1.0 (folder)

Just pushed a patch for CurveAnimations! Sorry for the wait Download the latest release here: github.com/Vexot/CustomEm…

@Wndiebwisebwj x.com/VexotDev/statu…

@VexotDev awesome plugin! but i am unsure as to why its not showing the emote and just being rested in a I pose?

@SplashGameArt x.com/VexotDev/statu…

@VexotDev Seems like a great plugin! Unfortunately the scrubbing through keyframes doesn't work for me, neither does turning the character. Everything looks smooth & polished though, I'm sure it was working a bit ago Roblox just updated. Great stuff thanks for this!

@BenereRblx @SplashGameArt A fix is on the way! I’m not home so it may take longer 😕

@SplashGameArt @VexotDev Ssame for me!

@kyexyz Thanks! It was a bit rushed tbh

@samulige1 iirc it’s bundle 515

@TheGamer101 Right, then I just used the Studio UI code haha. I was planning to polish the code more and even rework the thumbnailing file, but since I’ll be traveling to attend the Mexico City Roblox event this week, I wanted to release it early so people could benefit from it 🙃

@VexotDev This is the internal plugin UI from when Emotes first launched as a feature. I don't think this plugin is source available, but much of thumbnailing code is. Side note I think the thumbnailing file you forked is pretty overcomplicated for what it does, original code was simpler.

@sylviiu That's right! Sadly, you're not able to change already uploaded animations

@VexotDev this is AWESOME; i'm assuming this only works for new uploads?

@TheGamer101 Yeah, I used it as a reference since I couldn’t find any other source showing how Roblox generates thumbnails. Happy you liked the UI, and thanks for the tip!

@VexotDev This is very similar to the plugin I wrote for internal use years ago when we launched Emotes as Roblox created assets. The UI is a lot nicer though! Btw this value should be set to true to fix some issues with how CurveAnimations are handled. #L16" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/Vexot/CustomEm…

@DvdRBLX Roblox doesn’t allow the use of InsertService:LoadAsset() in plugins published on the Creator Store. I appealed, but it still got denied, so I decided to make it source-available instead :POG: #asset-moderation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">create.roblox.com/docs/productio…

@VexotDev What were the Creator Store limits?
