Viewport Frame not showing Pet Model!

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I want my Viewport Frame to show my Pet Model.

My Viewport Frame is not showing my Pet Model

I’ve looked at the Roblox Developer Forum, and have looked at some videos explaining Viewport Frames, I’ve also used AI, but it cannot find the problem.

My pet has a PrimaryPart, it’s name is “Body”
The Viewport Frame CurrentCamera is set to the Camera inside of the Viewport.
The Viewport Sizing is the 1,0,1,0 (in other words same size as its parent Frame)

This is a part of the function that handles the Viewport Frame showing.

			for _, Pet in pairs(Pets) do
		local PetEgg = PetsFolder:FindFirstChild(ClosestEgg.Name)
		local PetModel = PetEgg:FindFirstChild(Pet.Name)
		local PetTemplate = MainFrame:FindFirstChild(Pet.Name)
		if PetModel then
			if not PetTemplate then
				PetTemplate = PetTemplates.Template:Clone()
				PetTemplate.Parent = MainFrame
				PetTemplate.Name = Pet.Name
				
				local ChanceLabel = PetTemplate:FindFirstChild("Chance")
				ChanceLabel.Text = tostring(Pet.Chance) .. "%"
				ChanceLabel.TextColor3 = RarityColors[Pet.Rarity] or Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
				
				-- VIEWPORT FRAME RELATED 
				local ViewportFrame = PetTemplate:FindFirstChild("ViewportFrame")
				
				local PetClone = PetModel:Clone()
				local PetPrimary = PetClone.PrimaryPart or PetClone:FindFirstChild("Body")
				local PrimaryPosition = PetPrimary.Position
				PetClone.Parent = ViewportFrame
				
				local ViewportCamera = Instance.new("Camera")
				ViewportCamera.Name = (PetModel.Name.."Camera")
				ViewportCamera.Parent = ViewportFrame
				
				local CameraPosition = PrimaryPosition + Vector3.new(0, 0, 12)
				local ViewingPosition = PrimaryPosition
				
				ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = ViewportCamera
				ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(CameraPosition, ViewingPosition)
				
				-- DEBUGGING PRINTS
				print("PetClone:", PetClone.Name)
				print("PrimaryPart:", PetPrimary.Name)
				print("PrimaryPart Position:", PetPrimary.Position)
				print("CameraPosition:", CameraPosition)
				print("ViewportFrame Size:", ViewportFrame.Size)
				print("Camera CFrame:", ViewportCamera.CFrame)
			end
		else
			warn("Pet model not found for: " .. Pet.Name)
		end
		InRange(BillboardClone)
	end
end

Here is a screenshot of my Workspace, and the issue.

I’ve done some more experimenting, but I can’t find what’s wrong.
Everything seems to be correct. I even made a different script just to test it.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Template = script.Parent

local ViewportFrame = Instance.new("ViewportFrame")
ViewportFrame.Name = "ViewportFrame"
ViewportFrame.Parent = Template
ViewportFrame.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
ViewportFrame.BackgroundTransparency = 1

local Camera = Instance.new("Camera")
Camera.Name = "PetCamera"
Camera.Parent = ViewportFrame

local PetFolder = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("Pets")
local EggFolder = PetFolder:WaitForChild("Basic Egg")
local Pet = EggFolder:FindFirstChild("Bunny")

if Pet then
	local PetClone = Pet:Clone()  -- Clone the pet model
	PetClone.Parent = ViewportFrame

	local PrimaryPart = PetClone.PrimaryPart or PetClone:FindFirstChild("Body")

	if PrimaryPart then
		local PrimaryPosition = PrimaryPart.Position

		-- Adjust the camera position and look at the pet
		local CameraPosition = PrimaryPosition + Vector3.new(0, 2, 12)
		local LookAtPosition = PrimaryPosition

		ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = Camera
		ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(CameraPosition, LookAtPosition)
	else
		warn("Primary part not found for pet model")
	end
else
	warn("Couldn't find pet")
end

Heres the ViewportFrame with that btw.

Boost, Since I still haven’t gotten help! I’ve tried a ton of things!

I’m not really sure what it could be either, but you don’t need to parent the camera +
Camera | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub.;
It might be that the cameras not in Enum.CameraType.Scriptable;
As well as that you might be zooming out too far with your offset of the primary part. Try adjusting that and see if you see something.
