He made the opposite.. we want to create meshes, not a thousand bricks from a single mesh file. |

I agree, meshing an object or an entire terrain of a map would be really really useful...each sides of the mesh would be CanCollide. Chairs, tables, guns, swords, ect... This would save tons of memory which could be used in other places. If you wanted an area where you could pass through it, just leave that part of the mesh open. Then build over that area with CanCollide blocks off. The block/s themselves would blend perfectly into the mesh because they would be made from the exact same blocks as the mesh.
Of course this would make the basic terrain editor already in place obsolete... the only reason I use it is because of things you can do with the water.

It would make games much less laggy. Supported! |

Foundation.
Get it? Because a foundation is also a support? Get it? Eh?
I'll show myself out... |

No the meshes would be pointless because if you made them to work like actual ROBLOX bricks and you can step on them then it would be just the same as if bricks are there because you have to understand meshes are much different than bricks in a sense that they can not be walked on or touched in a way that could effect the player as if it was not there. Meshes are almost like decals they are much different from bricks so this would be pointless for something like a bus but if you wanted to make a tool this would be somewhat helpful but you have to remember tools do not have a lot of blocks and making it one block/mesh would make very little to no difference. So basically you couldn't use it in a game any differently than any other mesh unless it was in fact able to be walked on and touched an interacted with and if you did that it would not help at all. So unless you are trying to make a rock that can be walked through like a mesh, and even then it would still be pointless and helping lag little to none,it really is pointless. |

You really have no idea what this suggestion means... |

Take a look at the picture of this place
http://www.roblox.com/BMW-M5-Series-ROBLOX-Concept-place?id=17703865
Amazing car models, probably a couple thousand parts for each car. Ever going to be drivable In a game?
No.
Many of you think that:
"Well, it takes more or less the same to render the faces on meshes just as it would for the parts so this update is pointless and lag wouldn't be reduced"
I would go into much deeper detail on why...
But instead consider this:
Your hats are all MESHES.
Now consider what if your hats were actually made up of dozens of parts, or even HUNDREDS of PARTS to get a really awesome looking hat.
Can you imagine EVERY person on a server with THREE hats each made up of a couple HUNDRED PARTS?
Following that, in a standard 12 player server you would have:
12 players x 3 hats x 100 parts = 3600 PARTS
Compare 3600 MOVING parts to 36 MOVING MESH parts.
You may not be an expert at knowing the actual details of what goes on, but the numbers I've presented are solid evidence of how meshes are being used already on a massive scale.
Obviously there is an ENORMOUS difference in what this can do. |

I think orlando777 idea, is awesome, seriously if this idea works or gets roblox to work on, i guarantee this WILL BE a roblox revaluation, including less lag, better playstyle, maybe other unknown benefits might come from it! Support!!!! |

Support, this should be brought up at the next live-stream as well. When there is the live-stream everybody tweet to Roblox to do this :P |
|
|
|
Also Roblox already makes hats and tools with mesh yet we arnt able to do that, they should at least let us know what they are suing and make a Edit>UploadMesh or something else. Guns would have 3000 parts and crash the game nowadays. If Roblox wants good FPS games like they said they were (evolving that is) then they should definitely do this. (Lito brought me here somehow :3) |

Support, no reasons are required. |
