How do you convert a model to a png?

Im trying to take a model from my game and somehow convert it to a image without using a viewportframe or any of that.

I am however unable to do so.

I have tired using external programs, Raw pasting a mesh id into the image property, and more.

(extra: i know a game that appears to do exactly what I’m trying to do. they have hundreds of perfectly imported images of their knife and gun models and I’m not sure how they did it.)

examples: https://www.roblox.com/Thumbs/Asset.ashx?width=100&height=100&assetId=779800289

They are inside of an image label or image button.

Why don’t you go into the studio and physically screenshot the part then make the background transparent, then upload it to Roblox as an image?

#3

Cause most programs that can efficiently convert a color to transparency around an object cost money that I don’t Have.

#4

set up like a green screen area to make it transparent i think

#5

I’ll give it a shot but I doubt it’ll be effective.

#6

Why don’t you want to use viewport frames though? that was their entire purpose, to make easier shop objects.

#7

Because when i scale it to the size of the shop’s item frame the model looks horrible.

#8

That’s completely untrue. For instance, Paint.net or GIMP can easily do this and are completely free.

Really? ill have to check it out.

Doesn’t the physical part automatically scale with the viewport frames size?

#11

Didn’t seem like it did in my case.

#12

Also keep in mind i have 0 experience whatsoever with images/image editing so I don’t have a clue in the world how to make the image’s background transparent using the aforementioned greenscreen idea.

use paint.net, also turn down the bloom in your game temporarily so it pops out instead of blending with the background
for example there

Okay ill download it. I have to use a vpn rn so its super slow. Roblox just keeps randomly deciding to not responding to my wifi.

Hmmm, you could have a script that automatically scales the position of the object to the 3 axis of the viewport frames size.

Not gonna lie i have no idea how to use viewports, I’ve never tried scripting it but based on the dev forum i did what it said to and it still didn’t turn out right. I also tried Inserting it directly into the gui but it still didn’t work.

perfection… that has no bloom and looks like an actual green screen image. Now all you need to do is select all the green in paint and then hit delete and boom transparent png image.
