Why is my mesh changing shape when I make its parent a character model?

[caleb200ss]

Basically I made a sword and was going to weld it to the character but when I went to weld it I put it in the npc holding it. (Its parent is now the npc) But then while its parent is the npc its shape changes from

Same issues.

Humanoid causes serious mesh deformation issues

So I’ve been creating some morphs for a 2.0 package. It was all going fine until quite recently, actually. Other morphs didn’t have the same issue, though the previous morphs were a lot simpler than this. I’m certain that it isn’t an issue with the mesh’s normals. The left model is with a humanoid. The right is without. [image] With humanoid [image] Without [image] Any ideas what this issue could be? I’m worried I may not be able to create the game I was hoping to create. Either way, …

RenderFidelity update for Meshparts broke .obj export

Meshparts that have recently been uploaded to Roblox will now break if they are exported back as .obj files. It appears to be the normal model with a decimated version merged together. I have reason to believe that this might have something to do with RenderFidelity. Meshparts that were uploaded prior to this update are not affected by this. How to replicate: Import a .fbx or .obj file as Meshpart Export the Meshpart as a .obj Example: Studio [image%20(2)] [image] Blender [image%20(3)…

A solution is in the works:

Levels of Detail for Mesh Parts

[MeshLODTree] There are a couple of known issues: The fix for both of these will be released next week. A temporary workaround is to apply a texture to the meshParts.

Basically, there’s not much you can do about it.

If the issue is with the humanoid, just don’t the tool in the NPC model.

Make a folder in workspace called NPCProps or something like that and then in the folder add another folder for each NPC called (The NPC’s Name). Or you can just put the props directly into the folder and name them after the NPC. As you can see belew, I made a folder in workspace and added a folder for the NPC, with the props in it. Under the prop I added a WeldConstraint and it works perfectly.

Of course then you have to set the properties of the WeldConstraint. In case you don’t know how, simply set Part0 to the prop and then set Part1 to the hand of the NPC.

I hope I was able to help you! Your sword looks really nice, good job!
