User-Generated Content (UGC) is a term used by Roblox for types of items and assets that can be created by a user, such as models and audio. The term is often used to differentiate assets from ones created by Roblox's account or other administrators.
The UGC catalog program allows users to publish and sell their accessories on the marketplace known as UGC items. The collection of accessories created by users is referred to as the UGC catalog. Previously, all accessories in the Avatar Shop were created by Roblox. Since the release, the community often use "UGC" to refer to UGC items.
User-created accessories can be viewed under the Community Creations category in the Avatar Shop. It was released on August 15, 2019, to certified users on the site.
Roblox has reached out to reveal that they will sometime in the future depend on content created by eligible users rather than prioritizing assets made by the official Roblox account, which is managed by admins to publish items as a default.
Classic clothing
Any user can create and publish 2D classic clothing such as classic shirts, classic pants and classic T-shirts. Classic T-shirts were first opened to player uploading in March 2007. Players with Builders Club (now Roblox Premium) could upload classic shirts and classic pants starting on April 24, 2008. Classic clothing was later implemented onto groups through the audit log when creating an item. Originally, classic clothing could only be sold by players with Builders Club or Roblox Premium. Between January 20, 2021, and March 25, 2021, Roblox gradually removed the membership requirement from uploading classic shirts and pants, as well as the membership requirement to put them onsale. After the change, any player could upload and sell classic clothing, however it would cost a fee of 10 Robux to upload (for classic shirts & classic pants) or put on-sale (for classic t-shirts).
Layered clothing
On March 7, 2022, Roblox enabled approved UGC accessory creators to start publishing their own 3D layered clothing items, first starting with jackets and currently allowing UGC jackets, t-shirts, and pants to be uploaded. These creators may use a 3D modeling software, such as Blender and Maya, to create layered clothing. Once completed, the clothing can be exported as a .fbx file, but must contain an inner mesh cage and an outer mesh cage. The cage layers within the clothing must have the same UV maps, and the clothing must be weighed and parented to the correct bone or armature.
Users can also create items within the creator marketplace with Premium. In December 2019, RoxyBloxyy announced plans for paid plugins. The announcement also revealed plans for many other marketplace types to become paid access. The paid plugins update was implemented later that same month for users.
Accessories criticism Waist accessories
A trend among UGC items are waist accessories designed to look like a giant object, so a user can disguise your avatar as that object and fool other users into thinking their avatars in-game are part of the game map. A notable example is BOX. Because of how this can disrupt gameplay, scripts have been published in which they remove these kinds of accessories from avatars wearing them. As of recent, many of these items have been taken off-sale, and a new rule was added that items may not cover more than 80% of a player's body.[citation needed]

"All star creators have been given the ability to upload a single UGC item- I was not picked out of 250 or so creators to be the one and only video star to test the waters! I expect other creators to get their stuff up sometime soon! Thanks everyone for the kind words :)" [Tweet]. Twitter.
