Create a Project

In order to start the process of recreating the Island Jump 3D platformer experience, you must create a project within Roblox Studio. A project is a collection of places, assets, settings and other resources that together represent an experience. You can either start a project from scratch, or you can start with one of Studio's templates to provide a basis for your environment and gameplay mechanics, such as:

• Baseplate template — Contains a baseplate and SpawnLocation object.
• Modern City template — Contains a sample high-quality city and modular asset kit.
• Mansion of Wonder template — Contains assets and scripts for a first-person shooter experience.

To create a project with the Baseplate template:

1. Open Roblox Studio.

2. In the vertical navigation bar, select the New tab. All templates display.

3. Select the Baseplate template. Studio opens a new experience.

   

4. In the Explorer window, right-click the Baseplate object. A contextual menu displays.

5. Select Delete. The viewport displays an empty world with a spawn location in the middle.

   

In the next section of the tutorial, you will learn how to use the Terrain Editor to create an island environment around the spawn location.
