Texture Clipping-Endorsed Models Part 9

Hello there boating fans of ROBLOX, WoodReviewer here. Today I am diving back into the world of endorsed models on ROBLOX by taking a look at one model that has annoyed me greatly for a while now: this Cutter by Quenty. This may seem familiar to some people as it was features in my blog post on review of the island adventure template place. In that review, I only focus on the insanely poor wood grain of the boat. Thankfully I fixed it and it now looks amazing.

Texture Clipping-RBXDev Offices Part 4

Hello there flickering devs of ROBLOX, WoodReviewer here, it is time once again to take a look at some RBXDev offices. Of course, this week is texture clipping week, so instead of the usual focus on wood grain, today it is time to look at texture clipping. Now this is not a normal review where I look at some offices, but rather a general one where I look at most and point out issues that I see with some offices and discuss issues with them, or show off how some devs decided to fix issues with texture clipping. Now, for this I am going to be looking at the place in studio, because I have a friend in the RBXDev group that gave me a copy of it.

First off is something that I forgot about. You see, to have texture clipping bricks need to have a texture that can clip. One thing that I forgot is that currently ROBLOX has 2 textures, neon and smooth plastic, that lack normal textures and as a result do no clip as long as the bricks that intersect are the same color. This is used in the main lobby for the floor of the RBX Dev offices. However, if the colors are changed, clipping returns.

Hello there over-sized egos of ROBLOX developers, WoodReviewerer here, today it is time to smash more developer egos as I go through the RBX Dev Offices and tell many of the best developers on ROBLOX how much their wood grain sucks. Today it is time to take a look at another six of the offices that the greatest developers on ROBLOX created to showcase their vast building and scripting abilities.

Lets start out with this office by Rovien. The front has a bunch of wood grain,  but the main shutters are fine.

Small Games-ETVG Arcade Minigames

Hello there minigames lovers of ROBLOX, WoodReviewer here, today I am take a look at the ETVG Arcade Minigames Deluxe Supreme Super Fun Time by Zomebody and Wsly. For those who are not familiar with what is going on, ETVG is a LP’er on YouTube that makes lets plays of several games, including ROBLOX. For his fans he commissioned a special minigame game on ROBLOX, not too different than minigame servers that have popped up for YouTubers in Minecraft.

More Horses-Horse Valley

Hello lovers of equestrian arts, WoodReviewer here, today I am taking a look at Meadows Ranch Horse Valley by SirMing, because apparently there is a large enough demand for horse simulators that there is more than one. They do differ in one respect though; Horse Valley focuses more on competing against other horses in races and steeplechase events, while Meadows Ranch focuses on riding horses around different environments. As a result, Horse Valley only has one map to explore as opposed to Meadows Ranch’s many maps.

More Offices-RBXDev Office Building Part 2

Hello there aspiring developers of ROBLOX, WoodReviewer here. Even feel daunted trying to get into the Dev Forums? Want to know a secret to get a leg up in trying to make better games? Just use proper wood grain. Most devs don’t know how to do it, or just ignore it completely, and as a result they have wood grain. Want proof? Here are more offices from Dev Forum members, most with bad wood grain. The first office today was made by YasuYoshida.

How To Fix Wooden Planks

Hello there ROBLOX admins, WoodReviewer here, today I have a special post on not what people can do to improve wood grain on ROBLOX, but what ROBLOX could do to improve wood grain. Now, just as a disclaimer I do not know exactly how ROBLOX works with textures, so all my suggestions may not be 100% practical, but the general idea can help improve wood grain.

My first suggestion: Fix the size of wooden planks. Well, what does this mean? Remember my wooden planks and why they suck, I mention how they can have this thin sliver that can occur.

Developers!-RBXDev Office Builder Part 1

Hello assorted developers of ROBLOX, WoodReviewer here. Today I am reviewing all of you!. And by all, I mean everyone on the ROBLOX Dev forum. And to further narrow my definition of everyone, those who have submitted an office to the group office project. And who have had their rooms added. And whose rooms I actually look at in this post and review, since this would be a very long post if I did all the rooms today. Plus why do one post when I can lengthen this out over several reviews to fill spots when I need a review. So with the introduction overs, lets look at the building.
