# Roblox: What to check for

## Paint Layers - Common Issues&#x20;

When uploading, keep the paint layers white with the exception of adding dark spots for shading (optionally you can use a [non\_paintlayer](#paint-layers) for shading). The goal is to let users choose exactly the colors to be as creative as possible. Examples below.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/b2QceyovHqiO2exnCrTG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
The outfits are the same but the one on the right has darker paint layers, that's why it looks less detailed.
{% endhint %}

## Do not include Custom Text on your Designs&#x20;

Users should add their own graphics and text to their outfit designs. Do not include any specific text on your designs.

## Exporting With A Template (Pait layer Issues)

When uploading make sure that the paint layer and the albedo file are cropped accordingly to the roblox template. Do not include the template layers.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Make sure that you don't include the Template layer when exporting.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/PXnReHJTbpHLnfNKv3tP" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
Tiny errors within the template are a common mistake for some designers! Watch out for these issues on your paint layers!
{% endhint %}

## Gaps On The Template

Make sure that you don't export the templates with gaps in between them.

<figure><img src="/files/THlQlekwX9lzOoDMrNIo" alt=""><figcaption><p>Don't include transparent lines on the outfit</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
These are the frequent mistakes caused by gaps in the template. To avoid these errors, refer to the template guide.
{% endhint %}

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/qEugVx3d7ZmeLIIEbk0L" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/6zkeJC37SVxv0SokcJ0o" alt="" width="293"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
Watch out for misaligned pixels
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/aOk5rzY74rfABzzN9NBY" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Empty Areas Should Be Transparent&#x20;

The empty areas like the arms should be transparent and should not include an extra paint layer.

## Upload Pants to Customuse

Customuse works similarly to how you would upload pants onto the Roblox platform. If the pants that you created extend to the torso part of the outfit, you must include the upper section of the pants directly on the pants template.&#x20;

## 5  Paint layers Limit

We don't want to overwhelm our users with too many options. Preferably don't create more than 5 paint layers for the top and bottom parts of the outfit.

{% hint style="info" %}
Notice: you can do a maximum of 5 paint layers for each file \[Top 5 max paint layers]\[Bot 5 max paint layers].
{% endhint %}

<div><figure><img src="/files/Vb4RrTktk9CMG1Wx982Y" alt=""><figcaption><p>5 paint layers</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/iZF3c7L4PwxcJMXKT0Pu" alt=""><figcaption><p>More than 5 paint layers</p></figcaption></figure></div>

## Albedo

Albedo file **must** match existing paint layers, to be the result of the combination of paint layers, and not differ in any way.
