ViewportFrame Release

This is the first thing I see on a Friday after coming home from school. This is amazing and can’t wait for this to be used in-game and not just Studio.

This is cool! I tried it out on Solaris: x.com

I did notice that the anti-aliasing is causing a noticeable outline around the items, though. I assume this’ll be fixed?

Rotating the objects(that are rotated) inside the frame act weird… Notice how the part rises up and down a bit due to perspective. Don’t have any quick ideas on how to sort this.

Can’t wait to be able to use it for my games, this opens up a lot of cool possibilities!

This will make for some easy to make inventory screens, especially when you have custom items.

This should still work on SurfaceGuis if the SurfaceGui isn’t in workspace (and uses Adornee). The semantics of parts-inside-surfacegui-inside-workspace where parts are kinda in workspace but kinda aren’t were very unclear so for now we disabled rendering of viewportframe if it’s in workspace.

You can set the backgroundcolor of the viewport frame to the same color as whatever you’re placing it on to fix that.

How resource intensive is the ViewportFrame compared to an ImageLabel?

HaxHelper · November 30, 2018, 9:54pm

Very excited to use this

If you take a look at the tweet I linked, you’ll see why that doesn’t work. Plus, what even is the color of the weapon from? The sky? If that’s the case, a single color won’t work (although it will reduce how noticeable the outline is).

Any plans to support particles in this in the near future?

(AND OMGOMGOMG YES FINALLY YES YES YES YES YES YES YES THANK YOU FOR THIS!)

Yes yes beautiful, but GifFrames when?

RoyallyFlushed · November 30, 2018, 10:14pm

Will we see the addition of multiple cameras to Roblox such to allow things like multiplayer games and different views?

len_ny · November 30, 2018, 10:15pm

you mean co-op?

Mikastrae · November 30, 2018, 10:21pm

This is such an amazing addition. I already know that a lot of really awesome things will be made with it.

Ben_Est · November 30, 2018, 10:36pm

Nice, no more hacky code

ConnorVIII · November 30, 2018, 11:03pm

This is perfect…

WingItMan · November 30, 2018, 11:11pm

Yay. =)

EmeraldSlash · November 30, 2018, 11:12pm

Imagine Rocket League splitscreen or something in Roblox. Or imagine a ViewportFrame except it can see the entire environment and not just a specific object.

kni0002 · November 30, 2018, 11:13pm

OMG YESS!!! I HAVE BEEN DREAMING OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR SO LONG!!

Saves me from making 100 decals for shops!!
