Should I use Blender or the Roblox building tools?

Over the years, I have noticed that more and more developers use meshes made in blender, while I still use the built-in Roblox Studio building tools.
What do you guys think?
Use Blender or Roblox Studio?

This really depends on your needs, and the style of the builds, and the precision of the builds you want. If you want more detailed builds with more options within them, I would generally choose Blender, however if you are going for that not high detail build style, then roblox studio will do fine! Hope this helps.

Use both, Blender is mostly used for models, and not building places and areas, which is what studio is really good at. If you want to make a tool or model that moves or operates in game, then studio is easier, but if there is a model that will not be used in such a way, like a realistic rusted car, then blender is the best option. Blender is also way easier for low poly.

tbh, just use both

Just build what you want in studio, then import it to blender and edit it to your needs.

I would say not everyone is able to use blender. It is possible to create detailed builds using the roblox studio, especially with unions and negates. I personally would not want to go through the hassle of creating something in blender (and reimporting it back in) when i can more quickly build using roblox studio, with satisfactory levels of detail. If you want something that i smoother especially curves, blender is for you. However, if you want a quick and simple job, use roblox studio. The learning curve for blender is daunting for beginners. Hence, i personally always use roblox studio to build, since i started out with roblox studio anyways. (That probably applies to most people)

Use both, trust me blender is not at all that hard to use. There are so many tutorials out there that a solid 2 hours on them will give you the basics you need. If you are a studio pro then switching to blender will be harder, due to the different workflow.

With how fast roblox is implementing blender into their system. I feel Blender is a in most cases what is gonna make a game more appealing then using only roblox studio. I am not dismissing roblox studio however, becuase it can still be used to make simple things and of course the game itself, but when going with complex and appealing models, taking time to learn blender is easy and its also fun to use!!
