I noticed on the new Daring Beard face that was made for the ROBLOX Face Contest, they gave credit to Darkhonour for creating the face.

http://www.roblox.com/Daring-Beard-item?id=110288809

What's odd is that this is the ONLY USER-CREATED ASSET that was made by a user that the user was given credit for the item that he/she created in the description.

Even the other face, the Red Skeptic that got published for the face contest, the creator EpicFailsFTW did not get credit on the description of the item.

Shall we go deeper?

Hats have a texture and a mesh, the mesh being the shape and texture being the colors and patterns of the hat.

People cannot upload user made meshes anymore but they can create user made textures.

As a result, there is a wide growing community of people who make user made textures of hats, "Retexturers".

Some of these retexturers have had retextures that were published, over 100 hats in the ROBLOX catalog are published retextures.

Just a few of the notable retextures that were published and are high demand items.

http://www.roblox.com/Dominus-Frigidus-item?id=48545806
http://www.roblox.com/Purple-Sparkletime-Fedora-item?id=63043890
http://www.roblox.com/Rainbow-Shaggy-item?id=64082730
http://www.roblox.com/Kleos-Themis-item?id=98347611

Do you think the average user knows that Seth7575 created the Frigidus?
That PiePerson50 created the Purple Sparkletime Fedora?
That THEAVENGER119 created the Rainbow Shaggy?
That nooooooo created the Kleos Themis?

These users, and the 90+ others who have had hats published and received no credit (besides 500-1000 robux + maybe a free copy of the item) on the item, and have been forgotten even though without them, these hats would have probably not existed.

IN FACT, 1 PERSON DID RECEIVE CREDIT, RANGEMELUDE FOR "Dragons: The Legends"

Notice how RangeMeludE is famous.

http://www.roblox.com/Dragons-The-Legends-item?id=10125889

Why can't all receive the credit?

We're not done yet though.

We need to go deeper.

There is a group called the ROBLOX Advertising Agency, in which admins such as Brighteyes, Coatp0cketninja, Lyttle23 and others look for ROBLOX Advertisements that they put up on the site to get people to buy the ROBLOX created hats.

Do the users who create the ads that ROBLOX actually uses to advertise their hats get credit?

At all?

They're actually told to remove their name from the ads they create.

So even though they work and use tons of effort to create advertisements, they receive no credit for their assets that were good enough for ROBLOX to officially use?

Apparently not.

We're not done yet.

You've probably seen the sheer amount of promotional events, from LEGO Hero Factory to TMNT, from Zeke and Luther to Transformers Prime.

Did you know that ROBLOX uses people's models in these events?

UsetheForce's Bluesteel Katana was used in TMNT : Turtle Trouble.

Most people wouldn't know that though, he received no credit for it.

On the ironnoob forums, people made futuristic buildings for the Lego Hero Factory Breakout contest.

Did any of those people receive credit?

Any?

Last I checked, no.

It wouldn't be hard to go through a couple of hats and just add

"So and so textured this hat" or "So and so created an advertisement for this hat", or even on the Third Party games, "So and so created this model for this game"

I doubt you'd even need to script anything to do this.

So why can't people get credit for the things they worked on?

It's true,They are going to use a ROBLOX Battle ad by me and probably not give credit.

Totally agree, but there was a place in the second lego hero factory giving credit to the builders. That secret badge in the tunnel.

I was not aware of this.

At all.

The reason they don't do this in the other 3rd party games is because...?

People are surprised when they realize I made a hat that got published, because there is nothing to say I made it.

True, but sad.
The admins aren't really gonna go through those 100+ retextures just to add a user's name. If they change anything due to this, it's just gonna be by adding names on the UPCOMING ones. They're not gonna change anything now.

@funny

They could just update the descriptions for each hat made by a user.

It would take like 15 minutes, 20 minutes tops.

Most retextures are in Brighteyes's models.

All brighteyes has to do is tweet something along the lines of
"If you have had a user retetxure published, PM me the hat and model so we can give credit"

@turt

That could cause a few problems, since people could fake making retextures.

Im sure Brighteyes can probably remember who made most of the retetxures. If not, she has almost all of them in her models.
