The skill tree

The Learn tab opens on the Learn islands map, which shows your progress across the tutorial branches. See Learn islands .

The skill tree is below the map, in rows by branch, with 79 tutorial cards plus a Start here shelf. The iOS app has no Roblox shelf, so it has 76.

A tutorial card shows its title, a picture, the number of steps, a level (1-3), and the main tools it uses. Selecting a card shows the STEPS list and the Start ▸ button.

Card pictures change as you go. Locked cards show an ink silhouette. Unlocked cards you have not tried show the model to build. Once you keep your own version , the card shows it; a finished scene card shows the finished scene.

Start here

The Start here shelf skips the unlocking order. It has first tutorials (Watermelon, Sandcastle). More may be added to this shelf without an app update.

The building branches

Six branches are the main modeling lessons, done in order:

• Stacking: Reference Pictures, Snowman, Table, Robot, Twin Arms. Covers lining up reference pictures, placing shapes with Drop and sizes, and whole-part tools (Move, Turn, Rename, Mirror a copy).
• Shaping: House, Mug, Gift Box. Covers cutting in with Push in (Draw a shape, All the way through) and Slice, plus Fill.
• Sculpting: Bust, Trophy, Vase, Mushroom, Tree, Snout and Ears. Covers shaping with Resize on rings, Slice, Chop, Overlap, Move › Out, and Mirror.
• Detailing: Pleated Skirt, Ice Cream, TV, Star, Birdhouse, Window. Covers finer shaping with Resize, Pinch, Pull out, Push in, Turn, and Fill, and cutting real holes with Push in (Draw a shape, All the way through). Window cuts four panes through a wall; the holes are kept in exports.
• Combining: Chair, Cactus, Instant Camera. Combines Drop, Overlap, Resize, Push in, and Turn and Move on whole parts.
• Characters: Cat, Bird, Chibi. Covers building in parts for animation. Focuses on making separate parts, sizing parts, turning parts, mirrored copies, and Chop.

The eleven always-open shelves

Eleven branches are open from the start; their cards still open in order:

• Animated assembly: Figure in Parts, Fox in Parts, Cut It Free. Covers the best way to build for moving (separate parts attached to a main body) and joints made on their own where parts overlap. Cut It Free shows cutting pulled-out limbs free with Chop (Keep Both).
• Photo skills: Lucky Clover, Soup Can, Animated skin, Speech Bubble. Covers painting see-through areas, placing photos on a model, animated skin frames, and adding words on top. Lucky Clover and Speech Bubble start from a Sheet, stood up with Turn.
• Hair & skins: Haircut, Cozy Sweater, Skins. Covers adding a layer with Shell, and several looks with Skins .
• Parts: Body Shop, Wildflowers, Stick a Part On. Covers saving parts, adding them with Scatter, and sticking stickers onto surfaces.
• Lights: Lantern, Streetlamp, Window Glow. Covers glow and light settings (Ball, Beam). See Lights .
• Animate: Tune a Move, Bouncy Frog, Strike a Pose, Pinwheel, Treasure Chest, Swishy Hair, Sprout, Wagging Dog, Rig a Fig, Walk & Run, Move Sets. Covers physics moves (Preset moves › New move › Sway, Amount/Speed dials, Springy settings), and putting moves in order. Rig a Fig skips the blank canvas and loads a ready-made rig. Tune a Move opens on the pup and Walk & Run on the kid, both already in parts; Walk & Run starts by naming the kid’s parts in Rig, since Walk and Run need two legs named there.
• Roblox (Android only): Roblox Shirt, Roblox Hat, Roblox Building. Covers Roblox templates and export limits.
• Painting: Palettes, Glowing Photo, Lasso, Soft Eraser. Covers 2D painting and selection tools.
• Camera: Send It Out, Take Photo. Covers exporting a fig for a game, .glb export settings, and framing and taking a photo with the Camera.
• Scene skills: Build on a Hill, Flat Look, Four Flags, One Wind, Water Floor, Midnight, Camera Border, Magic Tap, Rolling Hills, Garden Path, Windy Day, Little Cottage. Each card opens a blank scene. Covers making land, building on slopes (Carve vs On top), setting the look, group move delays (One after another), and scene-wide timing.
• Clips: First Clip, Camera Moves, Sound & Words, Movie Magic, Movie Night, Talking Figs. Each card opens a blank scene. Covers making and editing clips.

Tutorials that run in a scene (Scene skills, Clips, Roblox Building) skip the make-your-version part. The finished scene is the result.

Unlocking

The first branch is open from the start. In a branch, each card unlocks when you finish the guided build of the card before it. Finishing the first card of a branch unlocks the next branch (e.g., completing Reference Pictures unlocks Shaping).

Locked cards show grey, with a padlock, and can’t be flipped. Open cards show fully. Finished cards show a check badge, and the button changes to ✓ Finished · Play again ▸. The button on the back changes to Play again ▸. Both start the guided build again.

Finishing a guided build gives 10 star points, once per signed-in account. Playing tutorials again gives no more points. Cards you finished on any device show as finished on every device signed in to the same account. Tutorials you finish while signed out stay on the device and go to the next account that signs in on it. See Stars and fans .

Tutorials don’t need a Plus subscription. Pieces made in tutorials (practice models, your own versions, scenes, and clips) don’t count toward the free limits. While a tutorial card is open, there are no limits on poses, animated skin pages, or skins. See Subscribing .
