AsRobloxcontinues to grow and evolve, so have theRobloxiansthat players control daily. For those that have been playing long enough, there was a drastic change when Roblox introduced the R15 Avatars and a whole new world of possibilities opened up not only for the way they moved and interacted with their environments but also the way that creators could mess with the game. But, what do these letters and numbers mean in the world ofRoblox?
What Do R6 & R15 Stand For In Roblox?
From its original release, all the way up until 2016, Roblox used the standard R6 Avatar rig. The R6 avatar was rather limited in what it could do because it was limited to 6 Joints of Articulation. That means everything looked a bit robotic, which makes sense since theRoinRobloxwas originally meant to stand forRobot. Your points of articulation with theR6 Rigare as follows:

However, when theR15 Avatarscame onto the scene, things changed rather quickly. With15 Joints of Articulation, players were treated to a much morerealistic-lookingavatar, with proper walking animations, better jumping animations, and so much more. While they still share the same blocky aesthetic with theirR6counterparts, things were much more smooth overall, leading the platform to look and play better than ever.
Can You Still Use The R6 Avatars?
If you’re feeling nostalgic for the simpler days ofRoblox, you’ll be glad to know that you’re able to swap back to theR6 Avatar Rigat any time. However, some limitations come with this. With many of the newer cosmetics snapping and fitting onto theR15 Rigs, you may lose access to some of the clothing that you have purchased. However, if you’re aiming to look like aNoobfor old-times sake, you can complete the look with the movements to match.
