FAQ
What does Roblox require for an emote?
According to the official documentation: it must last under 10 seconds, the character cannot move far from its starting position, it must use the standard R15 rig and the animation must come from a CurveAnimation. Uploading costs 80 Robux.
What does the script do?
It builds a KeyframeSequence with your keyframes in Roblox Studio. If your rig already has saved animations, it adds it there so it shows up in the Animation Editor; if not, it leaves it in ServerStorage.
Why do I have to convert it to a CurveAnimation?
Because Roblox only accepts emotes that come from a CurveAnimation. In the Animation Editor press the Curve Editor button and confirm; then publish it to get its ID.
Is it a finished animation?
It is a plan with the main poses. Polish the details in the Studio Animation Editor (hands, head, smoothing) before publishing.
