I’ve just recently gotten in touch with Visual Effects through the 3D software; Blender. After managing myself, I thought I should teach anyone who requires the step-by step tutorial to essentially have this memorized. After reading, and following each step I hope you eventually come with the results expected. Feel free to post your result in this.

This blend is marked as Fan Art, you can not use it for commercial purposes under any circumstance. Mindblown.

Try this:On your distination blender file, go to File->Append, browse your files for RobloxMats01.blend and click it. Then you should see a bunch of folders, chose NodeTree and double click ROBLOX Materials
Now you should be able to use this node group from your node editor in blender.If you don't know how to add it, just open your node editor in blender press shift+a->Groups->ROBLOX Materials.

Remember that you need to have your model uv unwrapped before it will work. Otherwise it will appear black.

You say it's for beginners, but this is clearly only for people who actually know how to use it...

This is awesome! I'm just wondering, if I import a whole map into studio, would I have to texture every single brick or can I do that automatically?

Could someone explain to me how to use this? I'm trying to add it to my custom meshes by using the node section but when I 'select' one of the textures it doesn't do anything.

How is this 'easy for beginners'? I can't find a tutorial or anything, so I'm basically screwed.

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

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

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 MeshPart object 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:

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 `.fbx`multi-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: Uncheck the Objects as OBJ Objects checkbox. Check the Objects as OBJ Groups checkbox.
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: Export as Wavefront (`.obj`) instead of `.fbx`. Blender will not apply any scaling factor, so one unit in Blender will equal one stud in Roblox. Use centimeters as the default unit instead of meters (this can be changed in the Scene properties of Blender).
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.
