Free Models



Free Models are models on Roblox that can be found in the toolbox of Roblox studio and in the Roblox library. They are the Roblox equivalent of asset flipping. Some games use only a little bit pf free models, which is perfectly fine if the owner of the game is a beginner builder. and/or if the free model(s) is/are just a placeholder. Free models can mostly be found in common types of clickbait games such as Build to Survive the Monsters games, Slide Down games, and Cartrides.

Why They Suck

 * 1) They are known to be very discouraged to use and highly frowned upon from most players in the ROBLOX community, since it shows the developer is too lazy and/or uncreative to make their own models.
 * 2) Some of these models even have viruses in them, which can infect the game. Plus, some free models tend to have viruses that can't be deleted even if the models themselves are. Thankfully, they mostly only infect the game and not your computer.
 * 3) They often make the games' graphics very boring and extremely uninteresting to look at.
 * 4) Some of the models are copied and spammed by multiple bots and users. One example is if you try to search "skybox", there will be Minecraft trees all over the catalog. They have no variety or difference whatsoever, and they can have nothing to do with what you are searching for.
 * 5) Some of them can also contain a random pop-up message prompting the player to buy the model itself, and it might not even give you the thing you paid for.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) They can be useful if the developer is a beginner and isn't that good at scripting, although if you want to make a completely original and fleshed out game, it is recommended to use little to no free models.
 * 2) You can easily tell some of the models are virus-free if they have an orange shield-shaped icon that consists of shapes on the bottom left corner in the toolbox. In other words, they are endorsed by ROBLOX themselves.
