What are Roblox GFX?
Roblox GFX are images of high quality that seem realistic and look very pretty. Most of the Roblox games use them so if you see a cover image for a Roblox game you know that it’s just for show off as the game looks nothing like it. Players also use them for their avatars, outfits, items or accessories. Using free 3d software they export assets from Roblox Studio to 3d editing softwares like Blender, apply texture, light, background and other effects to make their characters more realistic.

Step 2 – Blender
Blender is the simplest 3d software out there. But this does not make it stupid easy. It still requires you to aquire some skills and it can only be done in time as you keep using it. Luckly there are a lot of blender tutorials and some specially made for Roblox GFX. In blender you can adjust the background, add lights, movement to your avatar, colors and even animations.
