Roblox adds code and AI tools to edit 3D models directly in the platform, letting creators skip external design software

Roblox announced new editing features that let creators modify 3D models using code or AI prompts without leaving the platform. Previously, creators had to export models to specialized software like Blender, edit them, and import them back—a time-consuming workflow.

The code-based approach lets developers script precise changes to geometry and properties; the AI approach lets non-technical creators describe what they want in plain English and have the model updated automatically. This means both professional builders and hobbyists can now iterate faster on 3D assets.

For the 10 million+ monthly creators on Roblox building games and virtual worlds, this cuts the friction out of asset creation—faster iteration means more time spent on gameplay and storytelling rather than tool-switching. For studios considering Roblox as a development platform, it becomes more competitive against custom game engines.
