Found out how to make meshes have a ghosting effect and a unlit effect and thought i would share it. - Original post
What does it look like?
Here’s what the ghosting and unlit effects look like;
You can see a video of it here: https://youtu.be/dyqh8ZyEX9w?si=Rzk3ktofH6oGQqKa
But how do we create this?
Step 1
- Add a mesh to your scene in Blender.
Step 2
- Go into your scripting window and create a new script.
Step 3
- Inside of your new script, paste this code:
import bpy
# the alpha. 0 is fully transparent, 1 is fully visible
alpha_value = 0
# layer name
color_layer_name = "Col"
# get selected object
obj = bpy.context.active_object
# check if selected is a mesh
if obj and obj.type == 'MESH':
mesh = obj.data
# create vertex layer if it deosnt already exist
if color_layer_name not in mesh.color_attributes:
mesh.color_attributes.new(name=color_layer_name, type='FLOAT_COLOR', domain='CORNER')
color_layer = mesh.color_attributes[color_layer_name]
# add the alpha to mesh
for poly in mesh.polygons:
for loop_index in poly.loop_indices:
color = list(color_layer.data[loop_index].color)
color[3] = alpha_value
color_layer.data[loop_index].color = color
else:
print("No mesh object selected.")
Last step
-
Once you have your mesh and your script setup, Make sure you have your mesh selected and run the script. The mesh will visually be the same in blender (so don’t worry if it looks like it did nothing)
-
You can now import the mesh into roblox with the FBX format. (Needs to be FBX)
-
For the ghosting effect, set the meshes material to glass.
-
For the unlit effect, set the meshes material to forcefield.
Incase you dont want to go through the whole blender process, you can get a model of basic shapes with these effects added here; https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/135393291662010
