Welcome back.
In this lecture, we're going to be installing Roblox Studio and taking a look at some of the settings
to fine tune Studio to your liking.
Now, I'm going to assume that you already have a Roblox account, but if you don't, we'll go through
the quick process of creating one just for the sake of this course.
So at the login page we can go and hit the sign up button and from here is where we can enter in our
birth date, a username for your Roblox account, a password, and then we can go through the process
of signing up.
So go ahead and turn your birth date, your username, enter in a password, sign up and I'll meet you
there.
And now we are at the home page of Roblox.
From this point we can go ahead and open up the Create tab to download a Roblox studio so we can go
ahead and hit the button, start creating.
And this is going to try to either install Roblox studio from the Microsoft store, but we don't want
it from there.
So we are going to go ahead and download studio and once you've got it downloaded, you can go ahead
and open up this application and Roblox Studio should be automatically installed for you.
Once you have installed Roblox studio, it should automatically open up for you and you should see this
kind of homepage.
Now yours will likely be white.
Currently mine is set to black because I have it in dark mode and I'll show you how to change that in
a little bit.
But if it hasn't automatically signed you in, then just go ahead and sign in with your Roblox account
and you should be met with this default screen of Roblox studio.
To make this easy, we're going to select one of the available templates for our first game, and I'm
just going to select the base plate so we can click this.
And now Roblox Studio is going to open up and load our game for us.
And now we are inside of Roblox Studio where all the magic happens for creating games.
Let's first start off by saving this template to our Roblox account, and we can do so by heading up
to the file tab in the top left and we can go ahead and save this to Roblox as a new experience.
So we'll hit this button here.
This will pop up for us and we can go ahead in the bottom left.
Hit, Create new game.
You can give it a name of whatever you'd like.
I'm just going to call this my first game.
Give it a nice description.
Like, this is epic.
And from here you can change some settings such as the genre and what devices will be supported on your
game.
I'm just going to.
And then you also have the option to enable team Create, which allows for you to collaborate with other
developers, meaning multiple developers can edit your game at the same time, and it also auto saves
your game to the cloud.
For now, I'm going to disable this, but you can go ahead and leave it enabled if you'd like.
Then you can go ahead and hit save.
And now our experience is saved to Roblox.
So any time we open Roblox Studio in the future, we will be able to see our game underneath our experiences
for our account.
Now, from this point, you're going to see several things on your screen and you might get overwhelmed
at first, but we're not going to worry about anything just yet.
All we're going to do is just close all of these things out here.
And then we're going to double click this home page to enable this top bar if it's not enabled for you
already.
So if yours is hidden like this, just double click one of these buttons to make it reappear at the
top of your screen.
These are a whole bunch of different tabs that we're going to be going over in the next lecture.
So do not worry about them for now.
We're just going to do is go back to the file tab and we're going to go ahead and open up studio settings.
And this is where we can go ahead and adjust a whole bunch of different properties inside of studio
to fine tune it to whatever you'd like.
So for example, inside of the studio section, we are able to change the theme of Roblox Studio.
I currently have it set to dark.
Yours will likely be light, so if yours is light, I would definitely recommend changing it to the
dark theme.
Trust me, your eyes will.
Thank you.
Of course.
We have some other settings in here we can change.
Such as the speed of our camera.
We can go ahead and scroll down and look at different color settings.
We have for when we hover over objects, when we select objects, the thickness of borders around selected
objects and a whole bunch of other fun little settings.
Most of these settings you'll likely never change, but just know that there's a lot of customization
options for you here.
In case you want to change something in the future.
Another important section I think, inside of Roblox studio settings is the rendering tab where here
you can change the quality level of Roblox studio.
So if you're running Roblox studio on a lower end PC, then it may be better for you to change your
editor quality level to automatic.
Now it should be automatic by default, but if you'd like to squeeze out the most visual quality within
Roblox studio, then you can crank this all the way up to level 21.
Otherwise we can just go ahead and keep it at automatic as the default.
Once you're done changing whatever settings you'd like, you can go ahead and close out of this.
And now we are ready to dive into all of the different tools that Roblox Studio has to offer.
So I will see you in the next lecture.
