Importing Blender rig to studio moves parts around incorrectly

So, I looked around on the internet one more time and basically found the solution.

Thank you for all the help you’ve provided to me on my post. <3 @Hazelfluff & @bluemoonsticky

Imported Blender Avatar and Rig ends up blown apart in pieces

Hello, I’m having an issue when trying to import a fully rigged model from Blender. I’d like to get this avatar from Blender into Roblox to be playable, and have its full rig and such so that I can animate it in Blender and import those animations. It is a Freddy model. Here’s how he looks in Blender: [image] I export him as an FBX, and use the 3D Import option in Roblox Studio to import all his mesh parts in one go as a bulk, together as a grouped model. But, when I do, his model just compl…

So, you have your part that you want to rig like this (the same as if you parented with automatic weight groups, except with empty groups chosen instead), I just made a quick model, but you would do this for each of those joined Freddy segments.

I’ll explain what I did to solve this issue as shown in the post.

1. I built the rig as normal, but when parenting my mesh parts to the bones. I chose “With Empty Groups”.
   

   
   
   This will not allow the bone to move the mesh as it essentially doesn’t know what parts of the geometry it is trying to move, we will set that later. But, this allows the bone to still know that it’s parented to the object. Do this for every object and corresponding bone.

2. Next you want to click on an object, in Object Mode. Go into Edit Mode, then select all of the vertices by pressing “A”. Then click on this little thing here:
   
   This will bring up the Vertex Groups panel. This is where you click on the mesh’s corresponding bone (in this case, the head mesh and “HeadBone”). Then click “Assign”.
   

   
   
   This sets all of the vertices to the bone you assigned to.

Now when you move the bone, it should move the mesh. And this will prevent the mesh from changing positions or exploding all over the place when exporting to Roblox Studio.

Small extra note. If you built IK bones the way I did, the extra useless bone “UpperLeg”, will deform the LowerLeg’s parented mesh a bit. An easy fix to this is to NOT do IK the way I did and figure out a better way of doing IK for an R6-like model, like this one. Though, thankfully this deformation ONLY affects Blender, and NOT Roblox Studio.
