Changelog

📹 Video to Animation

You can now generate specific animations for your characters based on reference video or capture your own with a webcam! When creating an animation on a rigged character, select Upload Video or Use Webcam to create then trim the footage to what you want to use.

🤖 Meshy 7

We added Meshy 7 as a new 3D model generation option! It's built for clean, game-ready models, and it comes with a polycount setting between 100 and 300,000 so you can dial in to what your project needs. Switch to it using the ⚙️ Gear icon when you generate to see how it can suit your needs.

💡 Changes & Fixes

• Significantly improved the export speed of RBXMX models.

• Improved attachment point overlays so they scale to match the object you're attaching to.

• Improved the messages shown when a generation fails so it's clearer what happened.

• Improved multiplayer so control hands off smoothly when a player's tab goes inactive.

• Fixed a crash when using the send button in the Code Editor while collaborating.

• Fixed Inspector Panel scrolling on mobile so you can reach every setting.

• Fixed generated animation direction for Roblox Characters so they face the right way.

• Fixed a crash that could happen when leaving a World.

• Added the Search bar for Worlds back to the explore page.

• Changed the Make 3D button in Idea Forge so it now stays visible but disabled until your image is ready.

• Added the ability to filter Worlds on your profile page by Favorites.

• Improved the Explore page's All, Featured, and New tabs so they load and page through Worlds correctly.

• Fixed several issues with attachments, including objects appearing before their attachment point had loaded, undo an redo, and physics breaking after detaching.

• Fixed an issue where you could enter a World before it finished loading.

🧩 Attachments

You can now attach 3D objects to your Roblox Characters! Select and drag an object onto an the avatar to see an overlay with attachment points where the object will snap into place. Then you can make any minor adjustments with the Gizmo or detach the objects using the Radial Menu.

Once the objects are attached, you can then export the entire character with the attachments using the RBXMX export button with a single click! You no longer need a subscription to export RBXMX.

🔑 Roblox API Keys

Exporting to Roblox just got more flexible! You can connect to your Roblox account and export your creations straight to your Roblox experience using your own API key.

You'll find the setup on your account page or in Workbench. Link your account, add your API Key and Place ID, and send your creation over directly to Roblox.

🎆 Particle Systems

We’ve completely reworked Particle Systems! Right click an empty place in the world to Create Particles. Then select the particle object and open the Inspector Panel to adjust the look. You can adjust the type from Continuous to Burst, change the shape of the emission point, and dial in the particle count, size, opacity, gravity, and lifetime.

You can even use your own meshes as emitters, and drive each emitter's burst on its own. This is a brand new system built on a faster particle engine, and any older particle effects are moved over for you automatically. We recommend checking your older Worlds to see how older particle effects have changed and updating them as needed.

🌅 Skybox & Ground Presets

We added Skybox and Ground presets to the Environment Panel! Pick a look from the preset grid and it applies the sky, lighting, and ground in a single click.

It's a quick way to go from a blank room to a scene that feels right before you start building, and you can still fine-tune everything afterward.

🧭 Explore Updates

We’ve updated our explore page when you first use Nilo! Navigate through the various Worlds using Explore or see all of our Tutorials using the sidebar navigation. You can also access your profile information, created Worlds and Nilo Rewards.

💡Changes & Fixes

• Added a Viewport Gizmo in the Dev Menu for quickly reorienting your camera.

• Improved the Make It experience with a larger image preview and prompt verification.

• Tweaked the button for Make 3D in Idea Forge so it's easier to find once your image is ready.

• Alt-I now also hides the header buttons, so you can grab a completely clean screenshot or video when recording.

• Optimized some World load times due to the new skybox presets.

• Improved the quality of World thumbnails.

• Fixed group rotation so a multi-selection pivots around the Gizmo center instead of each object's own origin.

• Fixed publishing so it uploads the exact thumbnail you created.

• Fixed the editor shifting up and leaving a black band when using Workbench.

• Fixed most issues where Meshy generations could time out even after they'd finished.

• Fixed an issue where the Delete key could remove your whole World when a Builder Bag item was selected.

• Fixed an issue where code generation could fail to pick a model.

🤖 Meshy T2 Lowpoly

We added Meshy T2 as a new 3D Model generation option. This model is great for creating models where clean, game-ready topology is important, ranging from 100 to 15000 polygons.

📦 Builder Bag Groups

You can now save a whole group of objects to your Builder Bag! First, select and group your objects with Ctrl-G, then save it to the Builder Bag. When you drop the entire collection back into any World, its layout, rotation, and names all intact.

🎨 HD & Roblox Texture Downloads

We added new High Definition (Original) and Roblox texture download options to Workbench! Grab a higher-resolution texture for general use, or a Roblox-ready version tuned for your Roblox Characters.

💡 Changes & Fixes

• Changed the left-click control to allow for box selecting multiple objects. Holding Ctrl adds to your current selection. Simple grab and move controls still take priority, so you won't start a selection box when you actually meant to move something.

• Improved audio so sounds now properly follow objects that move around your World with physics.

• Disabled Magnet Snapping to be off by default, this can be turned on in the Dev Settings or by using Alt-M.

• Fixed a bug where camera shortcuts would trigger while typing in text fields.

• Fixed the invite link for Collaborators to work correctly.

• Fixed an issue where a World could fail to fully load.

🧰 Toolbar

We added a new Toolbar along the bottom of the screen for faster access to the things you reach for most: Idea Forge, Roblox Avatar, and Export!

Select an object and hit Export to download it quickly as a GLB file, or just hit Export with nothing selected to export everything in your World at the same time.

• Idea Forge now accepts images up to 50MB and shows a clear message when a file is too large, instead of a confusing permission error.

• Significantly reduced loading times when creating or joining a World.

• Removed the Remove Rig option for R15 characters, since it does not apply.

• Fixed rotation and position flicker when rigging or unrigging a character, and smoothed out character controls afterward.

• Fixed a bug in Idea Forge which briefly loaded the wrong conversation when using the Edit 3D button on the Radial Menu.

✨ Edit 3D Models

We added a new edit option to generated 3D models! It’s been a highly requested feature to edit your 3D models after they are created.

You can do this by opening the radial menu on the object, selecting Edit 3D, and then prompting Idea Forge to refine your concept image before generating the model again using Update 3D.
