3D art in Roblox refers to the creation and integration of models, environments, effects, sounds, and more to create an engaging and immersive experience. 3D artists bring the world, objects, and characters to life with a variety of tools and techniques using Roblox Studio and external applications.
While the roles and workflows of 3D artists often vary by project or organization, some of the common roles of 3D artists in the Roblox ecosystem include:
- 3D modelers who create custom 3D models of objects, such as characters and props, for use in experiences.
- Character artists who create bodies, clothing, and accessories to sell directly on the Roblox Marketplace.
- Environmental artists who build out the world of each experience, working with terrain, lighting, architecture, and more.
- Animators who create lifelike animation and movements for characters and objects.
No matter your creative background, Roblox provides a variety of tools, guides, tutorials, and reference files to help inspire and level up your 3D art creation in your experiences and beyond.
