Whenever I try to auto-generate a thumbnail, the finished result ends up stretched horizontally. I want to generate a thumbnail that isn’t stretched, but I’m not sure how to go about doing that.
Before you suggest, I don’t want to upload the thumbnail manually. This is because I want the thumbnail to update whenever Roblox changes the appearance of the client (lighting, textures, etc).
Here is what the thumbnail looks like currently
As far as I know, auto thumbnails haven’t been updated for years, and to get them to look right you have to manipulate Camera.CFrame to “squish” the whole thing. Just take a screenshot and then upload it yourself (even though it might cause harm to your account because of moderation).
How would I go about doing this? As far as I know, Camera.CFrame only holds the Position and Orientation of the Camera, and can’t be manipulated to squash the thumbnail.
Also, I figured out the reason the thumbnail is being squished is because the thumbnail is a square, and the website is simply distorting it to fit the thumbnail ratio.
I’m starting to think that this might be a topic for Bug Reports more than a fixable issue. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to that category.
Try messaging @Bug-Support, they might respond, but you have to bump your inquiry every so often.
