Roblox studio is seeming to become more and more of a 3d modeling program. There are all sorts of things that people have made, and posted them to the "model" page, so others can use them. If .stl (a common 3d modeling file) support was added, loads of models from the MakerBot Thingiverse and other 3d modeling files from websites could be added into roblox. The raw model does not have to be inside the game (because lag would happen most likely :3), but a simple converter that would take the .stl's voxels, and translate them into whatever roblox's file for models voxels, then we could get so many more opportunities. ~~~~~~~~~~~ In English for non-coders and builders: .stl files are 3d modeling files, and there are so many of them that are great, (especially detailed versions of buildings, laptops, disney characters, etc) so if roblox could add support, you could see great detail in other games, and it would just be awesome! And don't you people be hatin' me because you haven't read this thingy! >:3

I, myself, would love FBX support so I can export models from MayaLT.

I think that any common 3d modeling support would be epic! :D

It seem to be a little impossible, In fact, ROBLOX did it before, that allow player to "load" their own meshes with ROBLOX studio, but only support the .mesh not .stl also, the meshID is only able to connect to your own file in your computer, that mean only you can see it, other people will see nothing at all. I am more wondering about if they can let player able to output the .Model file or Solid Mesh blocks as .stl or something else, it will be awesome to use ROBLOX create some 3D stuff for the printer. But, I guess they won't have time work on such a work like this that won't help them make money, they are stupid in fact, If they did it, some 3D artiest may like to use ROBLOX as their tool to create 3D arts because ROBLOX is very simple didn't that make more people know about ROBLOX?
