Building & 3D models
Maps, buildings and props in the modern stud style: models written as code with Lune, 1:1 map remakes from a video, AI 3D models that fit, and the rules that stop a build looking blocky or broken.

Every trickDo this
Step-by-step moves, each with a message to hand your AI.
- Trick9 minStud-style models with Lune: the full meshlab guideHow the stud models in the showcase are made. Every model is a Luau script; Lune runs it, Blender renders it lit like Studio, and your AI looks at the picture and fixes the code. Starter kit included.Show me how
- Trick2 minRemake a map 1:1 from a gameplay videoThe video is the spec. Pull frames, measure from the avatar, sample real colours, and compare side by side until nothing is invented.Show me how
- Trick1 minCheck a build with 12 screenshots before showing anyoneFour aerial shots hide what players see. Full lighting, a dozen player-height shots, fix, re-shoot, then present.Show me how
- Trick2 minAI 3D models that fit a stud-style gameBuild the world from parts; use AI models only for organic shapes, prompted as chunky toy plastic, with the texture projected from the concept so it stays crisp.Show me how

Learn why
The rules behind it, most of them measured in Studio.
- 01Building overviewHow to build Roblox worlds, maps and models when an AI coding agent drives Studio (through an MCP plugin, executeluau, and model files pushed from disk).
- 02Stud style, materials and meshesThe "stud revival" look (bright plastic bricks, every face wearing a stud pattern, lots of small detail) is the cheapest style an agent can build well, because it is all parts.
- 03Scale and mapsStrategy and tycoon games often want the player standing over a tiny country like a giant. The trick: keep the character life size and shrink the world (for example to 1/4).
- 04Showing progress on buildingsIn tycoon and base-building games the base is the progress bar. A playtester's first note on one game was "we need more upgrade visuals ... when someone upgrades a farm it shows".
- 05Building UX: placing, picking and selectingCode for picking, hover and tap-vs-drag is in snippets/Picking.luau.
- 06Verifying maps and modelsA map presented after four aerial shots, taken with only part of the lighting applied, came back as "still not good, double check your work with screenshots".
- 07Tools: pushing, pulling and checking codeAll tools are in tools/ and are game-agnostic: no paths are baked in.
- 08Stud-style surfaces that look intentionalMaterials, stud patterns and the two exceptions that separate a polished stud build from a noisy one.
- 09Chunky, not blocky: shape language for stud buildsThree tiers of detail, breaking the box, stepped roofs, and why maps need altitude.
- 10No gaps: seams, openings and transparent partsThe door test, why clipping is a bug between things but a technique inside a model, and how transparent parts expose sloppy seams.
- 11Measure colours, don't eyeball themSampling a reference's palette, building 1:1 remakes from a video, and checking a map the way players will see it.
- 12Detail props without the AI lookWhere to spend mesh detail, how round is too round, and the props vocabulary that reads as made by a person.
- 13Rigging models that move cleanlyDeciding between rigid pieces and skinned bones, joints that look attached, and triangle budgets for animated models.
