This article summarizes how to upload meshes to Roblox from models created in Autodesk Maya, Blender, etc.
Uploading Meshes
The easiest way to upload meshes is through the Import button of the Asset Manager window (View tab → Asset Manager).
Upon completion, this will create one or more mesh assets in the Meshes folder:
Mesh Splitting
By default, a file consisting of multiple meshes will import into Studio as separate meshes. If this is not your desired outcome, check Import file as single mesh when importing the file.

Limitations
Roblox Blender Rig
- If any child mesh contains more than 5000 polygons, the parent mesh will be rejected.
- If a parent mesh contains more than 50 child meshes, all children meshes will be rejected.
Inserting Meshes
To insert a mesh into your game, right-click it and select Insert. Alternatively, if the mesh contains location data, you may preserve it upon insertion by selecting Insert With Location.
This will insert a MeshPart instance with your mesh applied:
Applying Textures
Roblox Blender
A mesh file can define a path to a texture for a mesh. If this is set and the path is valid, the texture will automatically be applied when the mesh is inserted.
If the texture is not inserted automatically, one can be applied to a MeshPart by setting its MeshPart/TextureID|TextureID, either in Studio or at runtime through a script.
To apply a mesh texture in Studio:
- Select the
MeshPartobject within the game editor view or Explorer hierarchy. - In the Properties window, click on its TextureID field.
In the context popup window, the texture can be applied in various ways:
Roblox Blender Model
- Select any image (texture) that you previously uploaded.
- Upload a new texture by clicking the Add Image… button near the bottom of the popup.
- If you know the Roblox asset ID for the texture, for instance
rbxassetid://0123456789, you can paste it into the URL field at the top of the popup.
Collision Geometry
Like UnionOperation|UnionOperations, MeshPart|MeshParts have a CollisionFidelity property. This setting determines how closely the visual representation of the object matches the physical bounds of the object. See MeshPart/CollisionFidelity|CollisionFidelity for more information.
Level of Detail
By default, meshes will always be shown in precise fidelity, no matter how far they are from the game camera. This improves their appearance when viewed from any distance, but if a place has a large number of detailed meshes, it may reduce overall game articles/Improving Performance|performance.
To dynamically control a mesh part’s level of detail, change its enum/RenderFidelity|RenderFidelity property to Automatic. This will cause the mesh to be rendered at a different level of detail depending on its distance from the camera:
| Distance From Camera | Render Fidelity |
|---|---|
| Less than 250 studs | Highest |
| 250-500 studs | Medium |
| 500 or more studs | Lowest |

Troubleshooting
With mesh importation, certain issues can occur. Most of these are caused by a misunderstanding of what Roblox allows on importation. The following are some common issues and an overview on how to fix them.
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|---|
| Import Issues With Complex Multi-Mesh FBX Files | Complex .fbxmulti-mesh files may not import correctly, causing unexpected mesh positions or rotations. One workaround is to use the Wavefront (.obj) format instead. If you're exporting from Blender, make sure each mesh is exported as a group:
|
| Model Contains Rigging or Animation Data | Studio does not currently support animation or rigging data importation. If your mesh is reliant on an initial transformation based on animation/rigging data, it will not be preserved and your mesh may look incorrect. To fix this, remove the animation/rigging nodes and upload the mesh again. |
| Extremely Large FBX Files Exported From Blender | Blender may apply a scaling factor when exporting a mesh as an .fbx file, depending on its settings. This may result in oversized meshes when importing into Studio. There are at least two ways to prevent Blender from applying the scaling factor:
|
| Out of Bound UVs | UVs map the location of the texture to a position on the mesh. UVs outside the bounds of the texture are drawn as if they're still within the texture, resulting in a tiled texture. This can be fixed by remapping the mesh with UVs inside the bounds of zero and one. |

You were always able to save your Studio files locally as .rbx files, but now you can export your Studio creations as .obj files. The OBJ Exporter exports all level geometry, textures, and materials of any place you create inside Studio. You can then load that file in a variety of 3D software platforms to refine, tweak, and enhance your virtual creation.
Exporting a creation is as simple as opening your place in Studio, then going to File > Export Place.
We recommend creating your own folder for the .obj file — when exported, ROBLOX games often have a large footprint (usually several hundred megabytes), so the process may take a few minutes. We’re working on adding a progress bar so you can track your save — this will be packaged into a future Studio release. If you want to just export specific aspects of your game, double click the object you want to open it in the Explorer window. Then right click the object and hit Export Selection.

Exporting a creation is as simple as opening your place in Studio, then going to File > Export Place.
Here’s that exported place opened in Blender. We’re making some lighting tweaks.
Whether it’s Blender (which is free) or 3D Studio Max, you can now use your favorite 3D software to add flourishes and effects. We believe that this will allow developers and artists to make extremely detailed ROBLOX “scenes.” This also opens the door to many potential cool things — like 3D printing. Why not export your avatar and have a 3D print made. WhiteClouds is a great place to start, though remember that when you export an OBJ file, it was also create an MTL file, which tells the OBJ which JPG to pull color from. It’s a chain, and WhiteClouds needs all three files to 3D print. Show us your best and most detailed ROBLOX scene, enhanced by your favorite visual software — you now have complete control. Where will your creativity take you?
