The triangle count is going to be 20k per mesh, multiple meshes. (Technically, it has been 20k triangles per mesh for avatars for some time now.)

how does the button look I canāt find it??? I have it enabled in beta features and the beta option but I donāt see it. Help
EDIT: forget this existed I just read the thing and realize Iām part of the group that wonāt have it due to a bug
I had some time to take some pictures.
This is what happens in the avatar model importer when you donāt give everything the same origin:
And hereās the same model with uniform origins:
And hereās the weird rotation issues that emerge:
I accept I was not using the avatar importer for itās intended purpose, and happily look forward to the new tool!

i turned the new importer beta on and i cant see the plugin
Read the message from the developer, the importer is broken only some can see it and others canāt even if itās enabled. Their fixing that right as we speak. I too canāt see it whilst another can.

Finally! Often I have to improt several versions of a mesh, because errors can be detected only after the import. Unfortunately, I currently belong to the group that can not see the plugin!

I think this is a very good idea in general as being able to do tricks with LODs to improve the way they look (e.g. retaining some important shapes and scrapping others) is instrumental to the art design of any game. Iād be able to make my pine tree meshes look more like the general conic shape associated with the tree instead of a weird blob of green clay on a stick.

Is this going to get live in a few weekās?
They said something about the first week in January but there might be errors and issues so I donāt think the dateās set in stone

Hi all, there should be a new update of studio available right now if you restart Studio. (you can make sure you are on the right version by clicking File->About RobloxStudio and making sure the version is 506.2. If it still says 506.1 you may not be able to see the plugin button.
Again really sorry about the hiccup, but everyone should have access to the new importer beta now!
Looking forward to your feedback!

Yes the new importer supports multi-mesh scenes as a first-class feature. We respect relative positioning of objects within the scene. So in the pictures you shared, they should import as you expect in that 2nd picture.
On top of it, if you had organized the objects in a certain way in your 3D editor (and your editor doesnāt clobber your organization on exportā¦ damn you blender!). Then the resulting model will also maintain the hierarchy you exported!
I would love if you tried to import that model with the new importer and let me know how it went! (fix for missing plugin button is live so you should see it once you update studio).

Cannot load the non-uniform origin file. The import button is not active. However, it is clear from the preview that the positions are maintained. Looks great so far!
I do get a lot of warnings/errors. ātifā is not a supported file format. The avatar editor does not have this issue. Not sure if this is preventing me from importing.

Can you expand the tree view? Which node in the tree is causing the error? If you can unselect the child node with the error it will let you import.
I suspect this is a texture node causing this.
Oh interesting, yes it must be your textures. I wonder why we detect ātifā as unsupported. Iāll at it to our buglist

Rust was the only non-tif albedo texture. Easily fixed with surface appearance (which I use anyway). Rotation looks correct!

This is a dream come true, I didnāt expect it to happen! 
It would be nice if the number of meshes that can be imported at the same time were greater than the current number of 200.

wow thank you staff for fixing that problem!

You can! If you have more than 200 meshes in the same FBX file, they can be all imported without a hitch 
You can also choose whether to only keep the model as a whole or if you want each individual mesh to be added to your assets, using the āImport Only As Modelā setting. Do note the upload may take a while.

If you use the Decimate Modifier in Blender you can lower your vertices. Link to a video Blender Tutorial - How to use the Decimate Modifier - YouTube

Also note, you might hit an error with our back-end throttling limits. The fix for that will come in the first week of January!
