I need to get bevel blocks(smooth edges).
There's one haxy way I found, that is to move the part into a model with a humanoid, and name the part "Torso", the game will think it's a character and give it bevels

There's a problem with it though, anything past a 1:3 size ratio from any axis makes it look all derpy(makes the edges too round, bringing them into the center)

Is there a "Bevel Block" mesh id or something I can use?

That creates multiple parts. I need to be able to do this in a script.

deep in the content folder, there's a mesh asset id you can use which looks like the character arms with bevels, i'll try to dig it up

you have the option to union them after it finishes beveling ,granted it does look ugly when unioned.

example:

http://www.roblox.com/command-hq-mesh-item?id=280974685

no idea this mesh existed until a while ago, all you would need is the texture asset id and it would look awesome

1. understand that roblox is rending characters with bevel MESHES. the location of those meshes, specifically the torso one, are "rbxasset://fonts/torso.mesh"
2. try to do something like only using the mesh for the edges and corners

Well, what you gave me works :D

But is there a mesh where the scale is jxjxj(The arm mesh is jxj*2xj)

Again, if not, it's ok.

wrote this script after using the mesh id for the bevels
place it inside the part you wish to bevel

if script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Bevels") == nil then
local mesh = Instance.new("SpecialMesh",script.Parent)
mesh.Name = "Bevels"
mesh.MeshId = "rbxassetid://12221505"
mesh.Scale = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Size.X,script.Parent.Size.Y/2,script.Parent.Size.Z)
elseif script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Bevels") ~= nil then
script.Parent.Bevels.Scale = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Size.X,script.Parent.Size.Y/2,script.Parent.Size.Z)
end
script:Destroy()

I already did the script lol

if not Obj:FindFirstChild("BevelMesh") then
local Bevel = Instance.new("SpecialMesh", Obj)
Bevel.Name = "BevelMesh"
Bevel.MeshType = "FileMesh"
Bevel.MeshId = "rbxassetid://12221505"
Bevel.Scale = Vector3.new(Obj.Size.X, Obj.Size.Y/2, Obj.Size.Z)
end

I gave up because it experiences the same problem I had before: "There's a problem with it though, anything past a 1:3 size ratio from any axis makes it look all derpy(makes the edges too round, bringing them into the center)"
