5 Building Tips to Transform Your Roblox Games — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00So, you want to start making amazing
2. 0:01Roblox builds? Well, don't worry. I have
3. 0:03five building tips just for you. Let's
4. 0:05begin. Okay, so I have this build here
5. 0:08and it's not bad by any means, but there
6. 0:10are a couple things that you can change
7. 0:11to really elevate it a lot. And first,
8. 0:13we're going to start with the props
9. 0:16used. Now, just by looking at it,
10. 0:18there's really only three to four props
11. 0:20that are used, which is this crate, this
12. 0:22shelf, and this floodlight. Nice way to
13. 0:24add variety is just simply adding more
14. 0:26props, different props, and scaling
15. 0:28them, sizing them, and changing them and
16. 0:29what not. Okay, so I have this little
17. 0:31asset repository that I usually just
18. 0:33copy and paste out of. It's a quick
19. 0:36little way. So, I'm just going to add in
20. 0:38a couple of shelves to spice up the
21. 0:40scene a little bit.
22. 0:42Did you know that not even 5% of people
23. 0:44who watch are subscribed? So, if you
24. 0:45find this video genuinely helpful, then
25. 0:47feel free to absolutely smash that
26. 0:49subscribe button. Okay, back to the
27. 0:51video.
28. 0:52And I'm just going to do this for a
29. 0:54couple of different props just to add
30. 0:56some variety and such. So, now I'm going
31. 0:58to add in some crates and some boxes.
32. 1:02When I'm placing props, I usually just
33. 1:03slightly tweak the rotation and scale.
34. 1:05So, nothing looks too uniform.
35. 1:14Now, a lot of things I see in Roblox
36. 1:16games are empty shelves. Now, what's the
37. 1:18point of having a shelf if you know you
38. 1:20don't put something on it? So, I would
39. 1:22just recommend if you have a shelf, at
40. 1:24least put a couple of items on it to,
41. 1:26you know, break up the scene and add
42. 1:27some nice variety.
43. 1:30Now, an important thing to understand is
44. 1:32that you don't want to spam random
45. 1:33assets cuz that can quickly decrease
46. 1:35performance and look messy. I would just
47. 1:37recommend creating a couple of assets
48. 1:39that you can use across a large variety
49. 1:41of scenes, such as boxes and crates.
50. 1:48Now, you might be thinking these assets
51. 1:50sure do look good. Well, you can find
52. 1:52most of them on my Ko-fi store. So, if
53. 1:54you want to save time and support the
54. 1:55channel, you can find the link in the
55. 1:57description. Also, the shelves were made
56. 1:59by my friend, so shout out to him.
57. 2:10Okay, I think this looks good enough.
58. 2:12The next thing we will be working on is
59. 2:14the lighting. All these spotlights
60. 2:16should be emitting light in a straight
61. 2:19path like this. So, let's just fix that
62. 2:21real quick. What I'm actually going to
63. 2:23do is I'm going to add in a or name this
64. 2:26light. Find the part, drag it down,
65. 2:29bring it over here, scale it down a
66. 2:31little bit, make it transparent, add in
67. 2:33a surface light this, do something like
68. 2:36that, and also increase the brightness
69. 2:39of this light. Okay, once you create a
70. 2:41light that you're happy with, you can
71. 2:42just copy and paste it all over.
72. 2:47Now, when I'm placing lights, one of the
73. 2:48things I focus on are the shadows. You
74. 2:51can create some really cool effects and
75. 2:53build realism by having nice shadows.
76. 2:58For the next thing we're going to go
77. 3:00over is the materials. Now, you can
78. 3:01probably tell that there's a whole lot
79. 3:03of the same rust material. So, I would
80. 3:06recommend using a different one to just
81. 3:09spice it up a little bit.
82. 3:16For materials and textures, if it's
83. 3:17obvious that everything uses the same
84. 3:19texture, then the scene begins to feel
85. 3:21dull and repetitive. So, by simply
86. 3:23adding another type of texture, it
87. 3:25amplifies the scene a lot.
88. 3:41Okay, next we're going to break up some
89. 3:43of this empty [music] space back here,
90. 3:45as well as changing just how the
91. 3:48environment looks. So, you can add like
92. 3:49a wall or something to break up this so
93. 3:51people can see it, so people can't view
94. 3:53the entire room immediately on entry.
95. 3:56Let's add some, you know, visual
96. 3:58interest around the scene. So, just add
97. 4:00some crates, some walls, just to break
98. 4:02up how the room flows.
99. 4:05Okay, so I didn't like how that guy
100. 4:06explained it. So, I'll rephrase it a
101. 4:08little. So, imagine you have a simple
102. 4:10square room or an open hallway. That'll
103. 4:11be very boring to look at. So, I
104. 4:13recommend adding wall or stack of
105. 4:15crates, just something that will break
106. 4:17the sightlines of the room. This way the
107. 4:18player can't see everything in the room
108. 4:20at once and has to explore around a bit
109. 4:22to see what's behind a wall or something
110. 4:24like that.
111. 4:34The next thing I see a lot in Roblox
112. 4:36builds is an empty floor and ceiling.
113. 4:39So, I'd recommend just adding little
114. 4:40little parts, little pipes, little maybe
115. 4:42some decals on the floor, some stains,
116. 4:44just to add some variety and some visual
117. 4:47interest to the floor and because it's
118. 4:49often overlooked, but it can really
119. 4:51bring a scene together.
120. 4:56Yeah, so here I'm just placing decals.
121. 4:58I'll actually link the decal pack I used
122. 5:00in the description. Decals are a great
123. 5:02way for breaking up materials and adding
124. 5:03some variety.
125. 5:12Now, I'm working on the ceiling pipes.
126. 5:13And for those who don't know, a pipe is
127. 5:15a hollow tube used to carry liquids or
128. 5:17gases. So, yeah, I throw one on the roof
129. 5:19and add some little extrusions to it.
130. 5:36Okay, so this is basically the finished
131. 5:38product. I'll probably go back and
132. 5:39change a few things, but let me know
133. 5:42what you're thinking and if you have any
134. 5:43suggestions. Okay, goodbye now.
