This is my first topic, so I don’t know if this is the right category.

  • What am I trying to achieve? Making armatures in blender import as bones in roblox studio

  • What is the issue? The bones don’t show up

  • What solutions have I tried so far? Using the information that the Roblox documentation has for importing rigged meshes.

I have this issue where whenever I try to save and export the mesh to import it in roblox, instead of giving bones that replace the armatures, its been giving nothing. I am exporting it from Blender as an FBX, the proper type, and the explorer in blender looks like this:

There are the rest of the armatures under the first one.

This is the result that I get when I import it to studio:

I get these values instead, I have tried everything I have found in order to try and prevent this, with no success🙁.

I am new to blender, having gotten it a day or two ago. If needed, I will give additional information on request.

Thanks for any help, and please stay on topic.
edit: A new problem has occurred after I fixed the first one in where the bones with their parent as the main bone, don’t show up, but the main bone does.

May I see the mesh in the explorer? Like all of the mesh parts in there. I think they keep the bones in the mesh parts not a folder.

#3

Okay, here is everything that is part of the cube in the explorer.

Maybe try watching another video on how to import meshes with bones because I’m 99% sure bones will upload inside of the mesh part which looks like it hasn’t.

#5

I’ve tried finding as many videos as I can, and I tried the exact settings that they did, and importing it but it is always giving me the same result. Also would it be helpful if I showed you a picture of the cube in blender?

#6

Maybe watch a video on how to add bones to meshes in blender maybe you missed something.

Sure, I’m not really good at bones and stuff but I can take a look.

Sorry for late reply, here is what it looks like currently. It is for a softbody I’m trying to make.

Maybe try to re do it maybe you did something wrong.

#9

Okay, I guess I will redo it again. I redid it once, and it didn’t help but that was also the same day I got blender so maybe I will do better this time

#10

Okay, tried redoing, didn’t work. It might be some settings with the importer on roblox? or maybe something to do with blender.

#11

Oh I’m not sure then. If you wan you could give me the blender file and I can try. I can’t promise that I’ll figure it out but I’ll try my best.

#12

Sure, I will give you the file of my 2nd to last current attempt I have made.

You can just import it

#13

Ok thanks. I’ll try it a bit later because I’m at school right now.

Hi, I’ve had a bit of a play around but I couldn’t figure it out. Sorry, I hope you find a solution though!

Quick add: You could try manually adding in the bones yourself? I’m not really sure how or if this would work so probably a bad idea.

#15

Well, thanks for trying. I will keep on doing different things and testing them to see if they work. Have a good day or night or whatever it is.

#16

You’re welcome! Let me know if you figure it out. It would’ve been 4am for me when you sent me that lol and you also have a good day/night.

#17

So, I tried doing some other stuff like following some tutorials on how to use the armatures, making sure that I perfectly follow the steps, without getting the same results. So it might be either a bug or something in Blender, or in the Importer in studio. I will have to research some more but it is getting difficult as I can’t find literally any people with the same problem as me. So for now I will just leave this topic open in case anyone else finds a solution or answer to this.

I thought that was how it’s supposed to look? I have a character rigged and it shows exactly that (unless im missing something). My character seems to animate fine. Maybe I also did something wrong. I made my character earlier this year.

Are there bones on your character? Because mine don’t have bones. I don’t know why my decides to completely get rid of the bones.

#20

Hey, just so you know, I think I’m getting closer. I started messing around in blender with stuff and the problem was that the bones were not modifying the meshes at all, and then I did something, tried it out, and now the bones work out. So I think after I finish up the soft body model that I have I can actually have the bones load and appear.
