In Roblox, GFX has two meanings. Its first, and most simple, is a shortened form of the word “graphics”. Its second meaning refers to high-quality rendered images of Roblox characters and games that are made with special software. These high-quality rendered images have a lot more definition than Roblox, often incorporating detailed shadowing and enhanced 3D effects.
