i have another good tip, if you are making detailed small builds, i recommend you make them big and then group once your done and scale it to the size, it just makes adding details easier.

Hey, thats actually a really good tip. I always have so much trouble making small details on smaller models, thank you!

Sometimes when you scale it, it gets messed up
Here is another tip: make sure to add boundaries to your game if you want the player to go a certain path. If you plan to use boundaries, make sure it looks natural from the player's perspective.

@@03flyboi4 You know, boundaries such as buildings, electric fences, physical walls, or even large amounts of debris that cannot be scaled.

@`3 r13 Invisible walls too, but you have to add something together so it doesn't look weird, like a sea with a mist in the background.

I'll make an example, if you want your map to be focused on some topic (make it look sinister, medieval, or maybe just a field etc) don't hesitate and make it the main focus of it like if you want to make some village with mountains then make mountains big and climbable if you want the play to go there and add wooden shacks at the bottom but make it look natural so it doesn't distract the player

an adidim to this. if you can or plan on the player to beable to look over the boundrys for whatever reason (for me its a stylistic choise) make shure the out of bounds area looks nice aswell. little to no overhangs of the ground or wall and that the wall matches on bolth the front and back
Increments are my best friend. I start at 1 stud, go to lower increments for finer details and go up for moving parts long distances or for scaling parts on a larger build.

you are so correct, the average player wont notice the small mistakes in a build but the builder will, they drove me crazy when i didnt know about increments. it would take me all day just to get soemthing perfect, resulting in my game not making any progress.

I can relate to this a lot Pain
It's been over a year i started making things in studio, and now, seeing this video, i realised how many things i learned in that year, like short cuts etc. Oh and thank you making this video, it's really nice to see you help the new developers. That's why you deserve more subscriber, and good luck.
I only work with 0.4, 0.8, 2, 4, 8 and 16 increments. Another pro tip is to have another burner file open next to your good file. There you can spawn stuff from the toolbox to inspect them to prevent lag or even a crash!
YES! This is what i've been waiting for! Thank you!
unions and negative parts are a bit hard to implement, but can help you a lot when trying to make complex shapes i.e boat hulls, plane fuselages, etc.

I use them quite a bit
Ive done a lot of building myself and I recommend for people scared of putting freemodels that contain viruses in their games, the best way to avoid inserting viruses into your game is to make everything yourself. However feel free to use decals and meshes since those are usually safe and you don't have to worry about viruses in there. But yeah making stuff your self is the best way to avoid your game from getting infected.
24:54 for this section, I probably would've mentioned more examples of things that are OK to use. For instance, texture pack models or free meshes, etc. Things like that help improve your build so much more, and you're not stealing as most developers probably use the same kit. But for bigger things like you said, yeah it might be a good idea to ignore them.

Part kits are especially useful for when you need to make special environments but dont want to have to spent tons of time making all the models yourself
Thanks for the great video! No plugins, no blender, just Roblox Studio building - exactly what I was looking for!
I've been confused about increments for 4 years, I've been using the 0.01, loads of tedious work, this kinda helped me to understand that I can make it more symmetrical
ctrl+alt to select a part in a model, when ive learnt that last year, i was super relieved
a HUGE tip that helped me so much while making my first game: when grouping together stages for obbys, or things like trees, or things that you might need to move around, use folders. always using groups is SO annoying especially if you need to move something like a wall and then you need to go all the way into the group and find the specific wall/item, it also keeps your game organized so definitely try to use them when you're trying to organize stages or just your game!
@bustymarduk

u can press alt and then u can click the wall, if u hold control whilst holding alt u can select multiple walls or whatever in that group without having to ''search'' for it

You’re the first builder i see talk about increment this is one of the most IMPORTANT thing in building you can’t really build randomly with random size and position if you activated it when you do thing like house or thing need to be precise (doors and doors cast for exemple) this is a detail make thing a lot better à easier you do great video i really like them 👍🏻

thanks for use this video, it was really helpful and i somehow watched the whole video without getting bored which is rare of me
I was wondering why the shortcuts weren't working and then a week later realized that I had a Mac - it was command, not control
Hehe, loved the intro. Great tips.
Thanks!
This was a useful video. Haven't built stuff in about three years so it's good review
Omg! Thank you so much! This is such a big help!
Good video, me and my friend are making horror games and war games, and this video helped alot. You earned a sub.
Control + L Is also good for rotating/moving/scaling based on local positions rather than global.
this video poped up in my recomended at the perfect time as i was about to start making a game
Huge help, thank you!
1:43 There is also Ctrl D, which does both of those steps at once Correction: He does later mention Ctrl D at 2:20
This is very helpful :)
HOLY SHIT NICE INTRO GNOME
This helps so much with my game
thank u so much gnome brother
Yay a new upload

this is probably the best building tutorial well done
I think free models are good for nature stuff instead of buildings and a time saver, making plants and flora is pretty hard if you don't know how to use blender or finding HD images of leaves. For example if you were making a city, instead of taking an hour to make one building just take one from the toolbox and customize it in 10 mins. If you have a certain style in your game then don't use free models since it will look out of place.
Thanks so much, this helped a lot. I’ve had roblox studio downloaded for years but I haven’t touched it.
Definitely showing this to my friend, hes been wanting to learn how to build and script, but i havent had the time to teach him
Thank you so much =D

This will come and handy
Nice intro
I really liked the intro lol
omg im so glad i figured out all of these just by tinkering in studio in my game!! i thought it was weird why there were random scripts in some of the objects and i couldnt really figure out the purpose/reason for the scripts so i deleted them n realized my game became faster loll
You are my savior
Those are very basic tips but, i will hope you will make another part
19:29 I don't know how such a simple thing didn't come to mind when i was making straws.. thank you very much.

Hi there I have a question so I'm planing to make a game and I already started so 1 day I was building a tree then when I joined the game everything fell down can u tell me why?
I start from 1 stud increment, then I keep halving to do smaller details, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125

Hi, I was wondering if you can ungroup objects?
part 2 please :D
Nice
The house is perfect size for a gnome
Btw, for Mac users you can actually use CMD c and CMD v, which is way easier.
did you know by pressing just ctrl you can select multiple objects and by just pressing shift you can select single objects in a model?
I personally don’t use increments because all the time it won’t lineup but I don’t notice because it’s such a small difference and then when I go on the game you can walk through there it’s soooo annoying

In my opinion with free models: Use them with great thought. Think about it. Does it fit? Does it stand out like a sore thumb? Although on top of all that, does it have any scripts or other function I don't need/want? For those thinking it's plain stealing, I'd say it's fair use. People make their models public on the toolbox because they choose to. They acknowledge, and accept it.
You also can use the F3X plugin, it very simple.
I can't believe I actually did all these things without any guides and tutorials
Can you make a (how to make a creatures survival game) video?
Thank you! Now i can build better.
what an intro
