Here is a simple way of doing it: Use a decal and just rotate it slightly in 3D, or skew it in 2D. You can also do it in an image editor.
If you need it to rotate or be fully 3D, use Blender to cut out the shape and just place it as a texture on a mesh.
There might also be other tools to cut out a mesh from an image but that is probably your most efficient / optimized bet because too many parts lags a lot and it might be too much to union.

Thats similar to what I currently do. But I’m trying to automate this through scripting. Also I won’t be using images with resolutions that high. The most I’ll do will be like 32x32 pixels

That sounds like a better game plan. I would recommend looking into getting an AWS, Of course also doing research on how you would achieveing it before buying one. Sorry but things are getting out of my own grasp on what I have done myself.

The resolution is not the issue really. It is just the amount of parts. There is no way to do this with scripting unless you feel like writing a script to decode and parse PNG files and get pixel data from the image manually and then create parts in game and … etc.
Something I used to do a long time ago was create my own binary image format because I used PHP (which had image handling functions) to convert the images for me (via HTTP requests from roblox). I used this information to draw textures in my rendering engine.
(No sorry, I cant give you the library. Idk where the project is and the script is probably deleted by now)
This however took so long to write! I had to make a local server (eventually used github pages lol) writing PHP code to get image data and re-encode it with a GET request just to decode it again in Lua.

basically what he said, But it is sort of misleading because you can automate everything, Its just
- It’s not free ( Idk might be some service that is free but doubt )
- It will probably take you a very long time to figure out
- It requires you to rely on things outside of roblox which is usually not recommended.

Yeah, I see. I’ll have to look up on how to do this. May I ask one more thing though? How do people get these “builder” and “programmer” tags under their names?

I can’t seem to find it. I’m also on mobile rn, maybe that’s the problem

This is starting to get off topic so you should probably move to DM conversation instead if you still have questions but:
