A 'trianguIar pIane' instance that works just Iike how beams and traiIs currently work.
Set attachment0, attachment1, and attachment2 as the 3 vertices of the triangIe, and a triangIe is drawn between the nodes simiIar to how trails and beams draw their polygons.
With this you can make 3D geometry that has no physics to be caIcuIated, onIy rendered with Iittle cost compared to the same geometry made with bricks/unions/meshes.
-For example, I have a 25x25 array of attachments which bob up and down in a sine wave like the ocean. Drawing triangles between these attachments will give the "ocean" a face with relatively little stress.

This is a neat idea, but I'm not sure you would call it an instance since it isn't built in by roblox.

It's an idea for an instance to be built by roblox*
They nuked the suggestion subforums

This is a fantastic idea. |
|
|
You could get someone to take this up in the devforum |
|
|
Support, this would be extremely useful in some instances |

Roblox removed S&I because they completely ignored it.
This is not gonna get anywhere. The best you can hope for is people in rbxdev taking up the idea. |

bump so a moderator or someone with influence can see it

There are suggestions for Roblox to create an instance like a Part that is not affected by physics. This will reduce lag because it doesn't have to calculate collisions, movement, etc. Not exactly what you're proposing but kind of the same idea. |

it's still pretty glorious

Roblox only takes suggestions from the dev forum now :(

Was about to post it to devforum when I found this post;
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/a-part-type-with-absolutely-no-physics/60540
I think this summarizes your idea already (at least makes it possible without the stress) |
|

That post is alright, but it misses the flavor of my suggested instance. A triangle drawn between 3 attachments.
