Advice on creating good environments

Hi everyone!

I’m pretty new to building environments on ROBLOX and wanted to come on here and ask you guys about some tips that can kickstart a beginner.

I have a few questions like:

  • What are some mistakes that every beginner showcase / environmental artists do that you would heavily advise against?

  • How can you create visually appealing landscapes- what separates a bad environment from a good one?

  • Optimizing environment design for performance. What are the best practices to ensure your showcase looks both beautiful and runs well?

  • How to use different materials effectively?

  • What are some best practices and tips for lighting, atmosphere, and detailing?

If you have any resources or tutorials to help a beginner get started with building environments, then that would also be a HUGE help.

Thanks a lot!
