Roblox has a cap on the amount of triangles a mesh can have.

Modeling: How to get passed that dreaded 10,000 triangle limit in roblox studio

Hello! This will be a quick and simple tutorial for getting around the triangle count import limit in roblox studio. This tutorial is going to be for those very high triangle count models, that are 21,000+ triangles. Since we are lowering the triangle count, it may affect the quality of your model. So always save before! Notice: I will be using blender for this tutorial. Ok so, you got a sweet model from blender and you want to import it into roblox studio. Look how beautiful it is! [Scree…

However you need to downscale the quality.

must i downscale the quality?

Yes, there’s no reason to have that many tris on a mug. You should collab with YandereDev.

[butterpilot123 (Butter)]

Yes, at the moment that seems to be the only way.

ty it worked

Import it using “Import 3D” on Roblox Studio. Whenever I use that, I can import things with more than 10k triangles. Or you can lower the triangles in blender.

thanks

This simplifies your model in Studio though, so you might not get the result you desire

[DeVague_RBLX (Sheriff)]

Then what is the point of being a Roblox modeler, even if you can’t export your model to Roblox Studio with its full detail and quality?

[0Tenth (QuackBack)]

It’s a general thing with game development, and most of the time you can get equivalent detail by using SurfaceAppearence and baked normals

Decrease the amount of triangles.
The amount of triangles here is absolutely overkill.

If all objects in a game were this detailed it would tank the FPS of even the most powerful computers and your game would be unplayable.

Objects like this don’t even need more than like 100 - 200 triangles, it’s literally a mug.
This object will either end up somewhere on a desk or table where people will barely even look at it.

Objects don’t need that much detail or triangles if they’re just going to be environment props.

Even if this was an item that the player will hold, it would still be absolutely ridiculously overkill to have this many triangles.
No model should ever need that many.

I can give you a bunch of optimization tips if you’re working on an environment or making props, I’m a 3D artist myself and a programmer.
I learned quite some things over the years.

I know its already been solved, but in the future, try to cut down on the triangles on your models. 75k tris for a mug, respectfully, is ludicrous.
