I just realized that ROBLOX has uploaded the Textured featherparts feature which probably made a lot of ROBLOXians including me mad.

All parts (in my game {and probably many more games}) have been swapped with featherweight parts and textures on them have been replaced with something like a repeating decal pattern than the ROBLOX textures.

eg. Wood textures - You can clearly see where the pattern repeats which makes it just look 'ugly'.

And all the other Textures are just the same way, they show where the pattern repeats.

C-Framed textured parts have also started to flash even though they didn't before the update which again made my game look a lot worse than it was.

My suggestion to this is as follows...

All parts should have a true/false property inside their properties which you can either tick if you want the part to be featherweight and deselect if you want the part to stay at high quality.


___

I do like the update, but don't make all parts change to featherweight automatically. If the update stays like this then many games including my game will have to be re-built and c-framed again which is time consuming.

Please post your view on this update in a reply.

The Wedges look shiny and reflective even though they should not, and also, the textures look low-res!

I have the same problem. I have all my graphics on high and now the update ruined the high quality, also the wedges stay high resolution which makes structure with parts and wedges look terrible.

I think the featherweight parts in general are an ok idea, though they should still have bevels and look the same as all other parts and wedges, that is my request for Roblox, and until they can fix this, I think they should remove featherweight parts.

Support. I thought it was only me that was experiencing this through my GPU :/
Bevels are on, but they don't show up recently due to this update.
This makes me mad, ugly textures, and wood don't seem like wood. It's ugly without bevels and Ugly-ish texturah!!
Rawr!!

I support! The stargates (ganondude's), they used to be very nice and cool, but now it is just terrible. My planets are half ugly now too, atleast the wedges and spheres havent been affected, atleast it seems so to me. And yes the cframed bricks have started to flash for me too, one of my brick that was cframed, a Really red concrete brick, a carpet, it is 0.151 studs out from the other brick but when i look from the side or from about 30 studs up it flashes like crazy. So...

As I said on another thread. I highly doubt it's featherweight parts doing this. This is low graphic usage materials used when roblox can't get the needed memory from your graphics card(Happened to me in a bug once). If a featherweight parts update happened at the same time as this it's probably a bug shifting low res parts into the high res slot considering high res parts still work on wedges. Long story short. If they wanted to do this they would have told us, graphic design of the materials makes no difference and the wedges are still high res and if they were aiming for low res textures that shouldn't be happening. Who ever started the rumour it's featherweight parts I understand it's reasonable to assume that but I really doubt it's true.

And what Mike said makes it seem even more like a bug, not an update. Oh and sorry for the lack of puntuation in some places earlier. Kind of tired today. :P

Not sure, but I think the update also unlocked all parts in my game for editing.

Thank you for all the support and let's hope this goes back to normal, if not then many games will need rebuilding.

Also textures are terrible and you can see where they tile.

My laptop can handle Graphics on the highest on ROBLOX, but my textures and bevels in parts have still been removed.

I have also tried sliding the Graphics down to 1 and back up to 10 in the ROBLOX settings menu and that had no effect on the parts.

I have also realized that parts look normal not-lightweight and textures look normal in Edit or Solo mode.

That's not a featherweight problem. I've seen the problem for years.

Perhaps the featherweight problem made it worse? IDK.

I find it's best to not use those textures in large things like walls.

Stick to meshes and textures. It probably doesn't please the majority of you, but hey, using BlockMeshes, I find, looks great even without the Roblox Materials.

The featherweight parts look like Low Quality bricks.
