ViewportFrame Release

Not to mention the quality in the mirror would be very noticeably lower.

Does this mean Viewport Frames are released for public use in games or not fully out yet?

Yes!!
With viewport frames we can create 3d objects that don’t clip stuff like walls!
Example: (Don’t judge the model xd)

The player is standing right against the wall but the gun won’t clip, without viewports, this would be near impossible to do!

It was about time. Thank you Roblox, very cool!

I used a modified version of your 3d skybox to create the planets in the background of my space game, when entering ftl travel you’ll be able to move between them. Thanks!

Not really. You have the same perspective problem as with portals, plus the problem of having no way (AFAIK) to mirror flip the image.

Now that this feature is live, I finally can test my upcoming building system with friends. This feature is a godsend for spinning block previews, and not having to upload decals of individual blocks to display properly. :+1:

Amazing, great job guys! now we just have to wait for fib to come out

I really like this update, definitely something am going to use in future updates and games!

This released just in time for one of my projects that I was going to start uploading a bunch of decals for, now I don’t have to upload any decals, can just show the model instead :grin:

It appears that SpecialMeshes & Mesh objects in general don’t render inside of viewport frames.

Will this issue be addressed?

Sounds like a bug. How to reproduce it?

Actually, I just checked the properties to obtain the IDs for you to review.

It appears that due to Roblox swapping over from the old URL scheme to the new rbxassetid:// system, it seems to have wiped all IDs from the filemeshes, which is quite strange and is probably a bug that needs to be addressed - as assets are still entered using the old URL scheme.

I’ve managed to get a door effect with a surfacegui by changing the resolution of the surfacegui depending on the distance between the upper left and bottom right corner, but it doesnt look quite right when you get too close.
