I thought I would be able to rig models but I guess I'm wrong? I didn't make the model into separate parts. I thought I'd be able to move limbs around.
#I just made my model into 1 whole mesh, is there any way I can animate it?

Just split it up at the end
burnt sluice
so just split the mesh up into parts?
would that make the ends of the split parts come apart? i want them to bend.
young crystal
Yep!
The parts come apart a lil bit but use the Roblox capping method to hide the seams

You can't rig with a mesh by itself, each limb has to be in its own group as it's own cube/mesh
burnt sluice
found that out the hard way
guess ill have to make arms and legs that dont look weird when they bend

You mainly just have to set the pivot points realistically, and cap the joints and you should be good

Fill and poke
is there a tutorial or anything you could point me to? im a total noob to this stuff 💔
young crystal
No unforcheneltly
I'd reconmend filling the hole, extruding a little bit, then merging the extrusion
or scale down the extrusion

turn on line select mode, select two lines of the same mesh, right click, press create edge or face.
you can't do it with cubes

when i do that it doesnt create a face it just creates a bunch of random edges
burnt sluice
you have to be specific about where you want the face to be made, it'll just make one in whatever the shortest distance is.
burnt sluice
maybe making the face like this would make clean edges? it'd be the red first than the blue
idrk im new too
grizzled aurora
where are you getting the merge meshes option from and how do you select multiple edges?
burnt sluice
i made 2 meshes
grizzled aurora
its bc im using the browser version maybe?
burnt sluice
shift click to select more than 2 things
