why do people use the "cheater" meshes? for example, i find a prevalence of the ring meshes in places meant to be artistic, and it gives me a headache. if you say "it's not possible to build well without meshes!!!!"- http://www.roblox.com/catlover5017-item?id=176425126 over 1500 parts, took me like 15-20 minutes or so.

Can't make something that looks smooth and professional without meshes. Gear... except 8-bit ones are meshes. Every 3D asset in catalog (not model) is made of meshes. (Except 8-bit ones.) Just deal with it. You can't use meshes. Without meshes, you cannot build nice looking things. A headphone mesh is better than your stupid blocks.

just to mention the fact that i'm referring to " for example, i find a prevalence of the ring meshes in places meant to be artistic, and it gives me a headache."-obviously applies to building not the catalog or hats. learn to read. and you can build nice things pretty easily. meshes are a lazy way to make rings and more exotic shapes people don't have the skill to make themselves.

But meshes look more smoother, and don't have parts protruding. That's why people use them. Although, you are right, I don't really use meshes a lot, bricks can build a lot. The rest, only meshes.

yeah. usually only very skilled builders can use minimal to no meshes at all. even though i've seen skilled builders who do, in fact, use meshes.

and i'm not really talking about meshes like cylinder meshes and block meshes, or the cylinder/block meshes that allow you to make the part smaller. same with the wedge mesh and the trapezoid (maybe, although i wouldn't usually say wedge/trapezoid but roblox makes corner variation with bricks annoyingly difficult so)

There's nothing wrong with using meshes if you want to build with bricks that's fine it usually reduces lag when you use meshes. My friend used to prefer to build a 10x10 wall with many 2x2 bricks while I just scaled 1 10x10 brick there is no difference for the end result

WHOOAAAA. There's a BIG difference. It blows up better!! A traditional bomb can't blow into pieces a single 10x10 brick, but many 2x2 bricks can be separated to blow up the wall. Big difference!

^ edit: it's the 2x2 connected bricks that blows up better, not the 10x10

I think meshes add a sense of creativity to the game. I have used all kinds of meshes in Noob Slayers, mostly for the various weapons ( of which I will have more coming out some time soon ). Meshes play an important part in the development of ROBLOX. I bet ROBLOX U can delve into it more if your still wondering.

I'm being honest here, I think meshes look DISGUSTING. There is no texture to any meshes I have ever seen, and there is such little detail to my eye. It's bland. I think a brick circle looks better then a mesh ring.

CSG is not for lazy people, and meshes are for lazy people, there's a difference.

Meshes look much smoother and nicer. And there are textures for meshes, idiot. If there wasn't, how would there be textures on gear and hats?!

agree with asian on the look of meshes. although i don't use csg aside from lag reduction of grass using union.
