And our job is to help creators make the experiences, avatars, clothing, and accessories our users will enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since 2019 we\u2019ve allowed, through application only, a small and growing number of people to create 3D virtual items in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.help.roblox.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/203313300-The-Marketplace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketplace<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, one of the key destinations on Roblox for users to shop and express themselves through their avatars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, we\u2019re making it easier for anyone to create in Marketplace.

We\u2019re also working to inspire professional creators to build successful businesses on our platform by developing new ways to make creation on Roblox easier, regardless of their experience level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, our new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/corp.roblox.com\/2024\/03\/18\/roblox-introduces-ai-powered-avatar-and-texturing-technologies-to-accelerate-3d-creation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avatar Auto Setup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tool leverages AI to quickly and automatically convert 3D models into avatars people can use on Roblox right away. Using this tool, which is launching broadly in the coming month, can reduce the time it takes to create an avatar from days to minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_209936\" style=\"width: 1436px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-209936\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-209936 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/making-creation-and-expression-easier-for-anyone-in-marketplace.gif\" alt=\"Our new Avatar Auto Setup tool leverages AI to quickly and automatically convert 3D models into avatars people can use on Roblox right away\" width=\"1426\" height=\"739\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-209936\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our new Avatar Auto Setup tool quickly converts 3D models into avatars**<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And soon, we\u2019ll offer templates allowing creators and brands to build customizable shopping experiences dedicated to the buying and selling of avatar items. For example, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roblox.com\/games\/15101393044\/Dress-To-Impress#!\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dress to Impress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a space that celebrates diversity and inclusivity, and where users can dress up as themselves and then walk a runway or vote on others\u2019 looks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">growing number of experiences like this, and we\u2019ll <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">begin by surfacing them in Marketplace, which will help connect the creators and brands who make them with the broader audience there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evolving Marketplace to Foster More Self-Expression<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We want Marketplace to be a more inspiring, personalized, and social shopping experience than ever before. In the coming year, we\u2019ll expand what\u2019s available there beyond individual items and focus on developing an avatar-first shopping experience. This will create more personalized and diverse content and unlock social shopping. It will also provide new ways for creators and brands to share their collections and connect with their audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Avatar-first shopping experience<\/b><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_209949\" style=\"width: 858px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-209949\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-209949\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/making-creation-and-expression-easier-for-anyone-in-marketplace-1.gif\" alt=\"Buy entire outfits or mix-and-match before you buy.\" width=\"848\" height=\"1724\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-209949\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Buy entire outfits or mix-and-match before you buy.**<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its inception, Marketplace has been dedicated to selling individual avatar items. Now, the Marketplace shopping experience is evolving. Users will be able to find inspiration from styled avatars and outfits and buy an entire outfit\u2019s items, or just some of it. Shopping in Marketplace will soon be similar to the physical world. When users look for a specific item, they\u2019ll be able to see how everything they discover would look in their existing wardrobe or what they might wear it with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s important because we know that when users shop in Marketplace, they want to complete their avatar\u2019s look with multiple items. In fact, users buy more than one item 60% of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, Roblox users can search for outfits. That means creators and brands can express their full creative vision by selling entire looks and avatars rather than just single items. And creators will be able to collaborate and sell outfits made of items by different people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>More Personalized and Diverse Avatar Content<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that many people on Roblox want to express their individual personalities and identities. To do that, shopping needs to be personalized and it should be easy to move between discovery and avatar customization. That\u2019s why we\u2019re developing new tools that make all that possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, AI has become a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.roblox.com\/2023\/09\/revolutionizing-creation-roblox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">crucial technology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> across our entire platform, powering things like creation and safety. Soon, it will provide individual shoppers with diverse and personalized items rather than showing everyone the same list. Someone might see collections or outfits from creators or brands that fit their style or outfits that are popular with their friends. They might also see trending shopping experiences, or seasonal collections (like for Halloween or Christmas).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A More Social Marketplace Will Unlock Users\u2019 Creativity<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.roblox.com\/2023\/11\/insights-latest-digital-expression-fashion-beauty-trends-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital fashion is increasingly a source of inspiration<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and we believe the next wave of fashion designers will emerge on our platform.

We also give creators controls that let them set rules for how much to charge for their items relative to these dynamic prices. We\u2019re confident this will help make sure creators can earn a fair return while giving consumers more access to items at fair market prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diverse Ways of Expression<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that the Roblox ecosystem is richer and stronger when we enable varied and diverse ways for people to create and express themselves.
