KNOWN ISSUES AND FAQ:

• When uploading to Roblox with Rthro Narrow Rig Scale, there may be gaps between body parts. You must adjust your avatar's body build by going to Avatar -> Customize -> Head & Body -> Build and move the Body Type to the top left corner of the Body Type triangle.
• If your Roblox character appears to be leaning back unnaturally when idle, then you need to customize your character animations and select Realistic-Idle or Rthro Idle.
• If Roblox Studio rejects a character's ColorMap, NormalMap, or RoughnessMap within seconds of importing your .fbx file, then try deleting the .fbm texture subfolder which will be located within the same folder as your .fbx file, then redo the Import 3D File process in Roblox Studio.
• Genesis 8/8.1 is not yet supported.
• Mac users may need to run the final Blender scripts manually: Open a terminal to your Intermediate Folder and then cd to the subfolder containing your exported character. Run the blender script by typing sh manual_blender_script.sh and press Enter.
