Mesh IDs have become a crucial tool in the Roblox community, particularly for content creators, developers, and designers. Having a mesh ID allows you to create your own models and import them onto your Roblox game, giving your game a more realistic and immersive atmosphere. But for those who are new to Roblox, getting a Mesh ID can seem daunting and confusing. In this article, we will walk you through the process of how to get a Mesh ID on Roblox and answer some of the most frequently asked questions about it.
What is a Mesh ID?
Before we dive into the process, it’s essential to understand what a Mesh ID is and what it’s used for. A Mesh ID, or mesh identifier, is a unique numerical value that corresponds to a specific three-dimensional (3D) mesh model in a game or simulation program. This unique identifier allows programs and engines to identify specific mesh objects and perform actions or calculations with them.
How to Get a Mesh ID on Roblox
To get a Mesh ID on Roblox, you need to follow these steps:
- Determine if your model is not copyrighted or has a low polycount: For security and copyright reasons, Mesh IDs can only be obtained for models with **less than 10,000 tris and with no copyrighted content**.
**Use software like Blender** or Autodesk Maya to create your own 3D mesh model. Make sure the model has the minimum polycount to ensure that it can be easily processed and added to your Roblox game. - Once you’ve created and modified your 3D model, export it as an **Obj (Object File format)** so that it can be understood by the Roblox engine. Other file formats such as FBX (Filmbox) or Wavefront (OFM) do not work in Roblox at the time of writing.
- To upload your model onto Roblox, you need to**publish a Place or Game. In your game, create or load the location where you want your mesh object to appear. Then**, in the object inspector, click “+ object”, and then **select “Attach model to object”** or **”attach mesh to the map”. Follow the usual steps for creating and publishing places and games in Roblox.
- **To find the Mesh ID** in Roblox, you should open your game or Place again and access the **”game settings” > “physics” > **” physics engine”** sections**.
- You can**use the Mesh ID anywhere** **you want as long as** **you understand and** **agree that your asset will be used worldwide without limits**. After all these steps, you would get the desired Mesh ID.
