personally, i’m scripter, but building is nice too and my close friend work in graphics 3D soo i’m working with models and all of those stuff very often, soo to start building you have to find inspiration, and ask yourself: is it very good for me?, do i like it or not? then try to play some sandbox games in roblox or outside of it to practice creating something, you can use minecraft for that, it’s very easy to use and good or maybe play some games inside roblox like build a boat or plane crazy where you can build pretty nice things.
After that you can go into studio, learn all basics of it, learn how to make objects, how comfortable use some tools and learn some tricks how to speed up your work. (Note: remember you can change move and rotate, when i was young i turned it on and i didn’t know what happening soo… yea.)
When you learned basics, you can start creating, there are plenty way how to build: make a physical objects, model in 3D, build from blocks inside studio. Everything is your choice, remember that every of those are requirements in some games, in others don’t.
Soo about Physical Objects:
Good for car games, maybe some in FPS or where advanced tools apear and in roleplay games, you need to know physics and how to connect parts together to make it work.
About Models3D:
what can i talk, it’s more detailed than building and it’s more optimized for details,
but sometimes bad for realistic buildings with interiors, you can use it to model assets like trees, rocks, ect.
About Building:
Good for openworld games where you have interiors or fancy places, it’s hard as modeling sometimes, but usually easier (smaller details ect.) because it’s in studio, it’s the most beginer friendly and i recomend it to you.
Soo now tips and tricks:
-
Don’t use textures for something you’ll never see like parts behind wall ect.
-
Don’t use many unions, they are not optimized, if you even using them, set collision fidelty to Box or Hull soo it will don’t cause lag spikes in large groups
-
Try to use some parts for two things at once (Two sided shop shelves and two sided walls)
-
Don’t overcrowd parts, and anchor them if don’t needed to be physical
There are many of ways you can learn, as i told i’m scripter and i’m at all not that good, soo maybe ask some profesional builders if you know them or maybe experiment with free models and analyse how they are build, it’s not only for coding but for building too, you can use some techniques or tricks, i mention few above.
