4 years later and no .fbx lol…
For all the changes and advances Roblox studio has gone through somehow its most essential creative features remain so primitive.

Whelp, they mentioned to me that they are going to be supporting more file format exports soon-ish, I’m guessing getting the importing to work is framework stuff.

they also need to add the .gLTF exporting option as we need the .FBX option as they only have a legacy file named .OBJ, Blender classifies it as “Legacy”

.obj is a pretty widely supported format type that holds mesh structure and mapping data, and blender has both legacy and supported import options for it, though it’s not optimal for many much more complex modeling features.

Dream come true if this is real

So uh… it’s 2023, still no .fbx export option. Roblox please add this to your roadmap.

This is still needed, we’re in 2024 and almost every other game engine has a feature to make this possible.

I swear the lack of any of this is like my worst nightmare. I am tired of doing this manually. Having to lose bone data, skin data, material data, basically anything useful. It’s not a great workflow. It takes me hours. Every single time, I come back to this post wondering what they were thinking.
Lots of people will always say “oh every single platform has X” and you know what, this time those people are right. That’s saying a lot. I echo basically everyone else in here. It’s great that you gave us skinned meshes, PBR and all that fun stuff but, to not be able to use it outside of Roblox tools (which suck) is unreal.
What’s worse is that I am stuck with the following:
- Material Manager (can’t provide me options like blender can; forget about comparing this to substance)
- Animation Editor (great for simple things, absolutely horrendous for anything past that)
- Rig Editor (gives me a skinned mesh option, doesn’t let me export FBX)
- Can’t edit vertices, lines, faces… Basic mesh operations are as-is. Blender, Maya, etc are the only alternatives and you can’t even use 1/2 of the features they provide
State of base-tooling is at-best 2016. There’s some solutions out there. A lot outdated but, really, they’re just band-aid solutions to poor engineer decisions that have yet to be addressed. That in itself, is not a solution.
Source: Went on a crazy bender with RThro to embrace it and give it a try. Banged my head against a wall for a couple hours and gave up. The lack of support in terms of figuring out what to do with is astonishing at best.

“We’re looking into it”, yet again, Roblox has lied to us. SMH, what can you expect. This is so stupid because there’s no way this is harder to add than you could ever imagine. They’re too busy making mouths move when speaking as if anybody asked for that.

I actually developed a method to do this, feel free to add me on guilded (/u/iSSD) I’ll gladly show you a video of how it works!
Exporting the scene to FBX without the negatives and issues of obj would majorly help with modelling. Please add.
