Creating 3D models for Roblox is a fun way to build your own games, characters, items, or environments — but it does come with specific rules and tools.
Here’s a complete guide on:
🛠️ How to Make 3D Models for Roblox
🔰 Tools You'll Need
Tool Purpose Notes
Roblox Studio Main platform for creating games & models Free, official tool
Blender (Optional) Create advanced custom 3D models Export to .fbx
Paint3D / Tinkercad Simple models (for beginners) Must export as .obj/.fbx
🔷 Option 1: Make Models Inside Roblox Studio (Easiest)
Step-by-Step:
1. Open Roblox Studio
Download it from: https://create.roblox.com
Login with your Roblox account.
2. Create a New Project
Choose a baseplate or template (like “Obby”, “City”)
3. Use the Part Tool
Use the "Model" tab → Click Part
You can add:
Block
Sphere
Wedge
Cylinder

4. Combine Parts
Build complex shapes by combining basic parts (called "Union")
Use Model → Union to merge parts
Use Negate to subtract parts (like holes)
5. Color & Material
Use Properties panel to change color, transparency, reflectance
Choose materials like metal, wood, plastic, neon, etc.
6. Group and Name
Select all parts → Right-click → Group
Name it clearly, e.g. BananaModel

Right-click your model → Save to Roblox (or Export Selection to local file)
You can reuse it later or share it via Toolbox
🧊 Option 2: Import Custom 3D Models (From Blender or Others)
This is used for more detailed models (like characters, weapons, props).
Step-by-Step:
1. Create Model in Blender
Model using low-poly style (Roblox is optimized for performance)
Avoid too many vertices
Use simple textures (no PBR materials)
2. Export as .FBX
