I have mesh roads and I'm using the mesh editor to convert the roads to parts then I use the parts to carve terrain so the road and terrain don't clip. But the mesh editor converts everything to triangles. Is there a workaround?

#

#

#

#

#

#

It's so nearly perfect

#

Any help will be appreciated!

It can't necessarily turn it from polygons into rectangularly shaped parts unless you voxelate the mesh data I'd guess

Is there a plugin or script that can convert .obj data to roblox voxels?

#

by voxels I'm rlly referring to the way that you are parsing the space. You could do it manually in roblox if you wanted to

#

So basically you could roll through X * Y * Z "voxels" and check to see if there is empty space in the voxel

#

and use that as a determinant for where you should and shouldn't carve

#

cuz roblox terrain runs on 4x4 you'd do it at that scale

#

Yeah I understand the concept and it's driving me crazy that I can't script

#

I put out a bounty

#

#

I remember this guy who had a .obj to terrain plugin

#

but it's gone now

#

#

I wanted to do roads in blender and import to Roblox

#

but terrain clipping driving me crazy

#

You could use the bounding box of the mesh once you upload it as a meshpart to set the frame of reference for your voxelation, pick a top corner, and iterate through each point to determine if the point is empty or not

#

it's a lil expensive but it shouldn't matter if you're only doing it in studio

#

tbh if it's not optimized and I crash multiple times. I rather crash than have to manually carve terrain

#

Are you capable of programming it?

void wharf Mar 12, 2023, 4:48 PM

#

Nope and everyone I tried to commission refused the job cause too hard XD

humble stratus Mar 12, 2023, 4:49 PM

#

It's rlly not hard imo but Idk I'm sure there's a more efficient method than the one I came up with

#

that is hard and actually relies on the polygon data

#

what I'm doing is more relying on roblox's collision mapping

#

It would only work for carving out terrain, not putting it in
