MeshParts or Parts? And WHY?

[Normal_PlrK (Creator)]

i know that one mesh instead of tons of parts is better
but we also KNOW that using the same mesh is better than using multiple different ones

my QUESTION is given the second fact
should we keep optimizing tons of parts by ‘converting’ them into blender and then as MESH?

• YES. keep optimizing as much as possible!
• No.

Should I use Roblox Parts or MeshParts?

I just want to know if Parts or MeshParts are generally better to use when considering static, anchored objects the player will be walking on and interacting with. I’m trying to reduce my part count for better performance and I know using MeshParts can be a good way to do this but not in every scenario.

Meshes versus Parts when it comes to performance which is better?

So i had this question for awhile now and wanted to actually know if there’s performance difference between optimized Meshes (As having no faces in certain place) and normal Parts. Here’s 4 pictures, and in your opinion is there any performance differences between these 2 choices? Optimized Meshes: [Example_01] [Example_02] Normal Parts: [Example_03] [Example_04]

(How) Are parts better instanced than meshparts?

I’m not talking about high detail meshparts. If I were to change every basic part into a meshpart (they’d all have the same mesh id), would there be a problem with lag? In my scenario, would it matter if I were to use meshparts over parts? If so, can someone actually explain how one might be worse than the other?

Which is better: Roblox Studio parts or Blender meshes?

Which of these two do you like and why?

Meshes or parts

Which is better? 10 parts or 1 mesh Like my game have 15k parts, if i use meshes and make it fewer, will it be the same fps or even less fps, does meshes lag player?

Whats more performant, meshes in parts, or meshparts?

Hey there! I have a few questions on what would be more performant (less laggy). Meshes in parts (specialmesh, mesh etc) or meshparts, and if I switched all my meshes/meshparts over to the other, how big of a difference would it make?

Okay but do you think that meshes or parts are better for performance? I can’t really find anything about this online.

It’s entirely dependent on what’s being made. Parts benefit from their simplicity and ease of use, but lack the ability to have their topology edited. When a player is rendering your game, all faces are rendered as triangles. When making complex objects outside of Roblox Studio, modelers are able to optimize their model by deciding exactly where these triangles go. The thing with parts is that you are not able to edit how each face is constructed. Each face of a basic Roblox part will always have two triangles, meaning if you have a lot of parts, you can end up with a ton of unnecessary triangles. This also means that you cannot remove faces that the player does not need to see. Now, reconstructing your assets in Blender does not magically make your game more optimized; there would only truly be a performance difference if your mesh has fewer triangles than your original asset. Hope this helps!
