Help recreating an almost extinct building style from 2016-2018?

I remember seeing these types of builds similar to the background of the old xbox roblox menu, where the builds weren’t complicated but also didn’t look simple in a way?; They mainly used neon, brick, smooth plastic and plastic, along with alot of nearly fully saturated but not base color-picker roblox colors. The background of the image below is mainly what im talking about, and is mainly very prevalent in roblox games that were created around 2016-2018, and were never updated past about 2020-ish. It’s honestly probably the style (if you can even call it a style) that i saw the most on my early days of roblox, which is the main reason on why i want to try seeing if its even possible to make anymore. I’ve recreated it one time before, and thats when I was recreating the roblox xbox menu with my own levels.

that just looks like a smooth plastic build with compatiblity lighting

Yes but they use old materials and no EnvironmentDiffuseScale

MaterialService - OldMaterials or something like that (roblox revamped majority if not all materials in 2022)
If you want any colors different from the color picker, go to the explorer tab and properties. Brick color will contain every color from the color picker, and color will contain pretty much the entire HEX, RGB, etc… (or the opposite i don’t remember correctly)

To create it, if you want to achieve something more simple, go for studio. check for references.
If you want to do something a little more complex like in the image i’d recommend doing some on Blender and like walls or simple structures in Studio
