Do people typically create images and backgrounds in photoshop and then insert them into image buttons and such? How much design, excluding layout, is actually done within Roblox Studio?
make a thumbnail size UI so when you decrease size it doesn’t decrease in quality. If you want to do modern UI for example cafe games with gradients and outlines thats all using roblox plugins. Such as Interface tools. If you are making anime, simulator, rpg, you are more likely to use PS. This is based on what theme though. Only use for PS if u want to make complicated objects like a banner or applying textures.
Ah, so those fancy bubbly GUIs with a color gradient are done with a plugin? That’s pretty neat actually.
I personally don’t use any external software for creating UI elements aside from just icons. Obviously being able to make stuff using software like photoshop/gimp/pdn is good, but I think roblox offers plenty of tools to make something look good.
