I am a fairly intermediate builder, I have been building detailed works of art with ROBLOX Studio for a couple of years now, and if I can brush on my skills and make something as realistic as possible, I may even share my works of art on ROBLOX Studio with the colleges I will be applying to in a few years.

That being said, I've noticed how quite a few basic parts in ROBLOX Studio (Especially Cylinders and Spheres) are not actually spherical nor cylindrical, the cylinder is essentially a 24-gon, instead of an actual cylindrical shape, while the sphere is something similar.

I've seen quite a few other games that I've played finally taking a departure from making cylindrical shapes out of polygons and are now constructing cylindrical shapes with High Definition, giving it more curvature. So, I just want to know, when can I (and the rest of the ROBLOX community), expect ROBLOX to depart from giving bricks a 'curved' nature simply by adding more sides, and make smooth cylindrical shapes?

Based on a twitter post by ScriptOn that I read a few days ago, he's already done something like this and he has made a smooth cylinder, I'm not so sure how he made it happen, but I guess that it goes to show that making smooth cylindrical shapes is possible.

Here is the link to the twitter post he made;

Anyways, thank you for your time, and I'm hoping I'll be able to receive an answer.

@Waffle

ROBLOX is starting to integrate into a more High-Quality platform now, given that they've added Solid Modeling, and more advanced plugins, there isn't much you can't do with studio now.

in all honesty, you really can't do much with studio other than insert parts and mess with them.

Building with an actual tool is much better.

I'm really good at building, at least that's what people tell me, and I'm fine with the same stuff I like the fact that they are adding more detailed textures and colors, but every other part can be manipulated into greatness. You just have to know how to do it.

@Catroar

I agree somewhat, but this is why the ROBLOX administrators have been working to improve studio, which is why I believe that High Definition Smooth Parts are the next big step for ROBLOX Studio.

Roblox has changed engines in the past

in 2008-2010 player shaddows looked realistic and cylinders and balls where completely round. They changed engines for less lag

Well, there is kind of a fix for this. Turn the surface to "smooth no outlines" and it will turn into a 48-gon.

^ No it wont, and to that guy who said "All you can do in studio is insert parts and mess around". Have you ever played a showcase such as Temple of Memories? Since you haven't, go do it.

Yes it will, it will look a lot smoother, but if you union it, you will see the edges again.
