Here are some new material ideas to bring ROBLOX creations to life.

Carbon Fiber: Takes 2/3rds of the bricks weight away, gives the brick a black and grey checkerboard pattern on all faces, cannot be painted. Bendable on very high velocity impact: 100+

Steel: Naturally shiny (reflectance 0.3) Weights twice as much as a regular brick, bends on medium velocity impact: 50+

Glass: Shatters into 3+ small wedge parts (more parts based on how big the glass brick is) on low velocity impact: 20+ (What glass would do is give a realistic feel to glass windows, car windows, and other glass made objects in ROBLOX)

Titanium: Like steel only stronger and lighter. Weights the same as a plastic brick, bends at high velocity impact: 100+

Maybe something to add to materials that are already in game.
Plastic: Bends then snaps under pressure
Wood: Snaps under high pressure
Ice: Shatters like glass
Corroded Metal: Acts like a very week form of steel.

Sorry, long day... I should know the difference between weak and week, I just wasn't paying attention.

I think the animations would be a bit laggy, especially on place scales

Hmm... I like the material things, although I'm not entirely sure what the bendable thing is, please explain?

Would it actually bend, or...

Also had a long day, may not understand things I normally would.

Say, you crashed a steel car at 100+ mph, the front end would fold in and snap the joins off the wheels. Higher velocity of objects, the more they bend. Eventually after an object bends to much it will break its bond to bricks around it. Like if I hit a wall going 150 mph, the fenders and hood would fold up, possibly breaking off.

Yes I know this would probably be very laggy for those of you with computers of lower ability.

So baisically what would happen is that the one brick front would turn into many diffrent small CFramed parts?
This would still be laggy for any computer.

No, the brick would take on new shapes, "bending" itself. Example: Going from a straight block to a arched block. There is no way of doing this in ROBLOX, but they are the creators, they can do stuff we can't (providing ROBLOX's crappy engine will allow it)

Ok, so making a new mesh for every possible way a brick could bend?

No, you clearly don't understand the fact of bending a brick. Stop thinking about what is possible for a user to do. I'm talking about changing the form. Not making meshes, cframed forms, or anything else.

You would have to make a new mesh for it to work. Right now, the normal brick is a mesh, it just doesn't say so as it is a default mesh.

Well then, if that is true, then so be it that ROBLOX would make meshes for the billions of forms a brick may bend itself into.

Or... They may just might not make this happen, I mean the bending parts. The materials part is good and would be useful.

Thank you, but I do believe it would add a great deal of fun to racing if they made a way for bricks to change form. Simply because you would have to worry about totaling your car on every corner.

I think it would be cool too. Just, it would either cause lag, or they would have to make billions, apon billions of meshes.

Agreed, that would definitely make ROBLOX cars a lot more realistic. Though I think in place of your suspension idea, it should just be a spring, or shock. That you can adjust the strength and damper.

Support. And no, it would not be laggy on Gamer PCs.

-But who has Gamer PCs?
Gamers. DUH.

The mesh part could be fixed, the last resort choice would be removing the mesh.
