How to Find Free Assets in Roblox! [Animations, Effects, etc] (Roblox Studio Tutorial 2024)

Introduction

Hey everyone! In today's guide, I'm stepping away from my usual scripting tutorials to address a frequent question from the community: how to find free assets in Roblox. Whether you're looking for animations, sound effects, or visual effects, I'll cover all the details on navigating and utilizing the toolbox in Roblox Studio. Let's dive in!

Using the Toolbox in Roblox Studio

Accessing the Toolbox

Open Roblox Studio.
Click on the Home tab at the top.
Select Toolbox from the options available.

Categories in the Toolbox

Models: This is where you find visual effects, animations, and more, excluding sound effects.
Audio: For sound effects, you'll need to click on Models and then select Audio.

Finding Sound Effects

Navigate to the Audio section under Models.
Search for specific sound effects by being persistent. For example, if creating a Jujutsu Kaisen game, search terms could be:
- Domain Expansion
- Gojo Domain Expansion
- JJU Kaizen
Once you find the sound effect, click it, and it will be placed in the workspace. It's recommended to move it to the SoundService.

Finding Visual Effects and Other Models

Within Models, search using terms like:
- Combat effects
- Punch VFX
- Slash VFX
- Explosion effects
- Speed effects
Click on the desired effect, and it will be added to your workspace.

Finding and Using Animations

Basic Animations

Search terms like Punch animations or Combat animations.

Editing and Publishing Animations

Import the animations by clicking on a model, which will enter your workspace.
Go to Avatar and select Animation Editor.
Attach the animation rig and make necessary edits.
Setting Animation Priority:
- Idle animations: Set priority to Idle.
- Movement animations: Set priority to Movement.
- Action animations: Set priority to any Action tier (Action1, Action2, Action3, or Action4).
Ensure the animation matches your game's rig type (R6 or R15):
- Check the rig type by looking at the parts or humanoid properties.
- Use plugins to convert animations if needed.
Publish the animation to Roblox:
- Name your animation, ideally including the rig type (e.g., CombatPunch_R6).
- Save and copy the provided animation ID to use in your scripts or projects.

Conclusion

Finding and utilizing free assets in Roblox Studio is quite straightforward once you know where to look and how to use the toolbox effectively. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, these steps should simplify the process of enhancing your games with animations, sound effects, and visual effects.
