4 Essential Blender Tips For Roblox Studio — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00so you want to make some gorgeous models
2. 0:02that look Immaculate in both blender and
3. 0:04Roblox Studio but every time you try
4. 0:07your model ends up looking like a cactus
5. 0:09took its anger out on a piece of chewing
6. 0:11gum as chat GPT would say it's as
7. 0:13visually pleasing as a salad made
8. 0:15entirely of croutons and on top of that
9. 0:17you have no clue how to bring it into
10. 0:18Roblox studio so today we're going to
11. 0:20fix all of that with four essential tips
12. 0:23for using blender with Roblox Studio
13. 0:25let's
14. 0:28go for tip one we're going to cover
15. 0:30model importing which basically means
16. 0:32how to bring your model from blender to
17. 0:34Roblox Studio start by selecting your
18. 0:36model and separating it so that each
19. 0:37part of the model that you want to be a
20. 0:39different color is a different mesh this
21. 0:41can be done by adding Loop cuts and
22. 0:42subdividing your mesh selecting the area
23. 0:44you want separated right clicking and
24. 0:46hitting separate by selection nice now
25. 0:49just do that for every component once
26. 0:51you're done box select all the
27. 0:53components I usually like to move them
28. 0:54around for a second just to be sure that
29. 0:56I've actually selected everything now
30. 0:58press file export and fbx give your file
31. 1:01a gorgeous little name now change the
32. 1:03scale to something like 02 and make sure
33. 1:05selected objects is checked once that's
34. 1:07done just open up Roblox Studio real
35. 1:10quick 3 to 5 business days later Roblox
36. 1:13studio is open go ahead and click on
37. 1:14import 3D on the top menu and locate the
38. 1:16blender file that you're trying to
39. 1:17import once it's ready be sure that all
40. 1:19the components that you separated are
41. 1:21showing up on the sidebar otherwise you
42. 1:23might have forgotten to select one from
43. 1:24there you can just kind of mess with
44. 1:25these settings I usually disable adding
45. 1:27the model to my inventory and make sure
46. 1:29it's anchored but honestly you can pick
47. 1:31whatever you want I've never really
48. 1:32tried them all but who knows maybe one
49. 1:33of them does something cool let me know
50. 1:35if you find something now just click
51. 1:37import you can scale it and move it
52. 1:38around as needed but as you can see we
53. 1:40successfully imported all the components
54. 1:42from blender okay now on to tip number
55. 1:46two tip number two is about coloring
56. 1:49your objects in Roblox Studio it's
57. 1:51really really simple just click the
58. 1:53different mesh parts and change their
59. 1:55color on the sidebar you can also switch
60. 1:56up their material which can give you
61. 1:58some pretty cool results I experimented
62. 2:00for a few minutes with a couple
63. 2:01different materials and colors seeing if
64. 2:03I can make anything decent looking
65. 2:04there's not a whole lot to say on
66. 2:06coloring though I mean it's pretty
67. 2:07important but the process is super
68. 2:09simple just mess around with these
69. 2:11materials and colors until you're happy
70. 2:13all righty on to tip number
71. 2:16three tip number three is all about
72. 2:19keeping your models low poly and blender
73. 2:21if you watched my model importing errors
74. 2:22video then you know that a mesh can't go
75. 2:24over 10,000 tries in Roblox studio in
76. 2:27other words Roblox Studio can only
77. 2:29handle like really low poly meshes so
78. 2:31let's take a high poly mesh like this
79. 2:33random object I made man it's disgusting
80. 2:36all those unnecessary
81. 2:39vertices but hey we can fix it with the
82. 2:42ever cherished decimate modifier you can
83. 2:44choose between collapsing unsubdivided
84. 2:46or planing your mesh they're all just
85. 2:48different ways of removing extra
86. 2:50vertices without disrupting the mesh too
87. 2:51much for instance I went with the
88. 2:53collapse here and I was able to shave
89. 2:55over 10,000 tries off of my mesh I do
90. 2:57recommend shading it smooth afterward
91. 2:59though since it covers up any like tiny
92. 3:00errors in the geometry to show you the
93. 3:02power of the decimate modifier I put
94. 3:04these two meshes side by side and as you
95. 3:07can see they look identical but one has
96. 3:0910,000 fewer tries than the other while
97. 3:11the decimate modifier is really handy
98. 3:13there's a couple other tricks that can
99. 3:14save you some vertices whenever you
100. 3:16import a new mesh click on the tiny
101. 3:18little side menu on the left and turn
102. 3:20the verticy count way down when using
103. 3:22spheres I recommend just using iOS
104. 3:24speres and shading them smooth and
105. 3:25whenever you use cylinders I'd just take
106. 3:27the side count down to maybe 10 or 11 or
107. 3:30even lower just Auto smooth it
108. 3:32afterwards and it'll look fine with
109. 3:34these methods in mind it should be way
110. 3:35easier for you to keep your meshes low
111. 3:37poly all righty on to the last
112. 3:41tip the final tip is using reference
113. 3:44images start by finding a 2D image of
114. 3:46what you're trying to model and download
115. 3:47it now in blender press numpad one on
116. 3:49your keyboard and go to a 2d view now
117. 3:51press shift a image reference and locate
118. 3:54your image scale it and move it around
119. 3:56until it looks good now add in your mesh
120. 3:57to trace the image this is usually a
121. 3:59cube but it can be anything you want
122. 4:01really the trick is to extrude Bevel
123. 4:03Loop cut and move vertices around until
124. 4:05your mesh perfectly aligns with the
125. 4:07reference image it takes some time and
126. 4:09practice to get good at this but once
127. 4:10you do being able to replicate models
128. 4:13through reference image tracing will
129. 4:14make 3D modeling 10 times as easy for
130. 4:17you you might have to fix a few
131. 4:18proportions yourself since tracing can
132. 4:20never be perfect but overall it'll save
133. 4:21you a ton of time and help you visualize
134. 4:23an object's proportions way better as
135. 4:25another example of this I gave a cube a
136. 4:27subsurf modifier and started tracing a
137. 4:29plane with this is one instance though
138. 4:30where a perfectly flat Cube would not be
139. 4:32the best option to trace with I added
140. 4:34the subsurf modifier cuz it gave a
141. 4:36little bit of a curve to the outside of
142. 4:37the cube which kind of matched the plane
143. 4:39well I think that's going to do it for
144. 4:40reference images so I think that's going
145. 4:42to do it for the video I hope you all
146. 4:44learned something today and have a great
147. 4:47day
