# Exporting the Avatar

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Tutorial" %}
With that we can now export our textured avatar that has been rigged to the standard Roblox rig. You could optionally have the OuterCages ready as well as the attachments in order for your avatar to apply different game elements. And finally you may have the facial bones rigged correctly, and the animations mapped to the custom properties.

Use the following export options to reduce issues when importing the asset into Roblox.

### Export Settings

* Select all the assets. You should have the following : 
  * All the avatar models.
  * The 'Armature', or rig.
  * All the Attachments ('\*\_att' assets) if you have completed this stage.
  * All the Cage files ('\*\_OuterCage' assets) if you have completed this stage.
* Go to 'File / Export/Fbx' menu.
* Set the name of your file.
* And change the export settings to those outlined below :

  * Set the Path mode at the top right to 'Copy'.
  * Enable the 'Embed Textures' next to that.
  * Select 'Limit to' to 'Selected Objects'.
  * Select 'Custom Properties'
* Disable 'Add Leaf Bones' in the 'Armature' section&#x20;
* In the 'Bake Animation' section to the right :&#x20;
  * Enable 'Bake Animation'.

  * Disable 'All Actions'.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://themattempire.gitbook.io/documentation/archive/roblox/advanced-avatars/exporting-the-avatar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
