I myself have been building for like a year or 2 now. I downloaded blender and never used it. I saw people make objects with it. So now im going to start knowing how to use blender So this can help me improve my building skills. So I would start using blender if I was you.

Yeah you should use it. I think there should be modeling system in studio.

Blender is an interesting program, and I’ve actually tried using blender before. It’s takes an unhealthy amount of time to properly learn and it can overload your screen with many different options. However Blender makes it really easy to model things so if your mostly a builder, then Blender could be viable for you.

I wish that there a modelling system that comes with Roblox studio.

Yeah as @PortABoi mentioned, it can be tough to get it started with. There are tons of things in blender, but I mean, learning isn’t a bad thing. If you want to expand your work, portfolio etc, blender can be an amazing option for to do modeling’s!
To the ROBLOX part, if they are going to add a modelling system, I think they are working on it. Heard that they’re doing something for this year or the upcoming year about making a modeling program in Roblox studio. They said that is RDC 2020. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Blender is a very useful tool for making games especially when building. I recommend for you to get blender.

Don’t give them bad ideas. Roblox should stop trying to reinvent wheels and focus on making it easier to integrate external applications with Roblox.
They will never be able to produce software that provides a better experience and functionality than what is provided by specialized applications for any purpose.

Well its just my opinion i am not telling as good as blender but some kind of modeling system cuz trust me when someone opens blender for first time there are like millions of buttons you try to move with right button as you do in studio and something else happens and then you smash the keyboard ALT + F4 and deletes blender. It happened to me. So if roblox makes a simple family friendly modeling system it would be great. I am not talking about the current system i know there is CSG but it takes time to learn.

I don’t think Roblox should rely on external programs. Yes, it is good to be able to use programs such as Blender and make more advanced shapes, but Roblox Studio is its own engine, and shouldn’t require external programs to reach it’s maximum.

What’s the shame in relying on external programs?
Most programs don’t have image editors built into them, and why should they, when there are lots of other image editors out there specialised to do the job? It’s extra work that could be invested into improving the program itself.

Roblox is meant to be easy since it’s mostly younger people doing it, and it can be a pain to have to learn lots of other stuff just to complete one project. I’m not complaining about it is now, I like how it is now, just don’t think there should more required programs to be able to make good looking games.

Many engines still rely on other external software to create certain things like Unity, Unreal Engine, Roblox Studio, Godot, etc.
Not one engine can hold all, think of an ace of all, and master of none.
Yes, they know all of them, but that doesn’t neccessarily mean they are a master of them all. Same goes for game engine/studios. They still need to rely on other programs to push the potential further.
Well unless you somehow merged all of them by ripping the opensource code then combining but that just seems super problematic.
If they tried mastering them all, it will decrease resources to other potentially important things.

Many people are already using it, and most people, for serious projects, might already be using it. It’s a great tool and I’d say its better for complex/important projects.

Last year, I asked the same thing to my friend and she told me if you want to build interesting meshes, Blender would be very good. So that’s the answer. I mean that was last year so I don’t know what it’s like now.

Blender is a beautiful program to use.
Why Blender, not anything else?
First, it’s free! Autodesk, Maya, these programs aren’t free, but Blender can make the closest function for free, which gives a lot of freedom of potential.
You’re using 2.8< versions. 2.7 was much confusing before in the past, so the property panels for you are really helpful.
Where should I start with blender?
Simple, there are many videos on youtube, but you may ask then where though? Start finding tutorials of making simple objects.
Any other tips?
Don’t rush man, I took two months to learn much of blender ,and there’s so much more to learn. You can take steps one by one. Also, remember keybinds. For real, without memorizing the essential keybinds modeling is far away for you.
