Howdy Yall,
This is my first Dev Forum post because it felt like something actually worth sharing. I have had a weird obsession with making a black hole on Roblox for quite some time now, and I am happy to say I have finally made it work (with the help of Claude Code). And in doing so I managed to make it render the model at a scale of roughly 1 million studs all on your screen without fading out as well as having it render on screen from a distance of 1 million studs, though it may be able to do a little more but its under 1.5 million. Not sure if this was already easily possible but to my knowledge it was not.
The blackhole has what id say is semi-realistic gravitational lensing but I am not a physics major, I just like blackholes.
This is all done using EditableMeshes generated at run time on the client which allows the near infinite scaling and render distance! If you have any questions ill try to answer them, this is a work in progress the next step is making stuff happen when you fall into the event horizon and maybe tweaking the accretion disk a bit visually including fun colorings.
