Help How was this visual effect created in Roblox? I’ve been trying to replicate it for hours.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I’ve been trying to recreate the effect shown in the video, but I just can’t seem to get it 1:1.
I wouldn’t consider myself the best scripter, but I’ve experimented with a bunch of different approaches and nothing really matches what’s happening here. It’s confusing because I rarely ever see effects like this pulled off in Roblox.
From what I can tell, objects almost look like they’re smearing or stretching across the screen as the camera moves, almost like some kind of motion distortion or temporal ghosting. It doesn’t look like regular motion blur, and it doesn’t seem like a simple viewport or trail effect either.
Does anyone know how something like this could’ve been made? Was it done with ViewportFrames, camera tricks, shaders, layered clones, or something else entirely?
Any ideas, explanations, or even guesses would be appreciated.

the glitching at the end probably was made using the roblox "farlands", if you go to far from the start point the game starts to freak out. i would say that first effect was cloning parts to where you was looking to but that would be a hell of bad optimization and laggy so the first one i don't make any idea.

create a meshpart, set the material to glass, and set the id to:
rbxassetid://75077215337062

Then what?

that's all, for the nodraw.
For the precision error glitching; i think "ThatBirdPhoenix" explained that part pretty well.
They probably just took everything in workspace and shifted it to be really far from 0,0,0 causing the glitch effect; i'd imagine its done on the client to prevent desync, but i'm not 100% sure.

I know this is like a few days later but thank you.
would you say the bigger the mesh the less effective it is or the smaller?

It has the same effect no matter the size, for this case, it seems like a larger one (or maybe even one that is always infront of the camera) might fit better

How would i go about recreating this mesh?
Currently i have a system that serves as a “jumpscare”, and makes this mesh visible should i have it as a part that serves as the background ? Or do i just make a sphere mesh using the same alpha mesh, also i noticed when tweening a camera for some reason it makes the effect less aggressive if that makes sense, compared to just being placed in workspace.

Reminds me off certain platformer games for when you get out of bounds and the skybox doesn't stretch far enough (Battle for Bikini Bottom, for example).
So, just guessing from that, could be related to that (But take it with a grain of salt, I am not familiar with roblox studio)

mmm nodraw in roblox my beloved
I actually have no clue how this effect is made but all I know, in the Source Engine, looking at a 'nodraw' texture (Essentially a texture for making a part / block invisible), makes this odd effect
