Practice, Patience, Plugins, Pictures and Perseverance.
Practice
-Always try different building plugins and new tools to expand your knowledge, play around with different meshes and see if you can get an original effect.
Patience
-No game gets popular straight away, mine took over a year. Don't rush your builds, put time and effort into them.
Plugins
-Most agree that they were crap at building until they used plugins, get to know the keyboard shortcuts it's really fun, haha. I recommend Build v4.1, F3X and qCmd Ult for the main building. Others like resize align, gapfill, Volumetric Lighting Plugin and Oozledraw toolbar: draw curve/rope are amazing for other features.
Pictures
-Everyone needs inspiration, I use Google images mostly and then visiting other showcases is also a big help, don't just go to other showcases and look around for 2 minutes, pay attention to the detail and how they built every little detail.
Perseverance
-Never give up, motivate your self through music and other's creations and art. I sometimes literally force myself to start building but after a few minutes I get into it and the outcome is really good. Also if something you built in the past doesn't look good, upgrade it and make it look better (What I do with Temple of Memories) make sure you make your maps flow with the same style of building though :)
Final note: Every builder on Roblox was once most likely worse than you are now. Every builder starts small and improves over time. Also a really cool part of building is that every builder should have their own style and special techniques when building certain things, create your style and have fun with building!

'everyone needs inspiration'

Wait, google images gives motivation? If still images motivate you that's impressive. |

These are some great tips. I already have CSG down, but I need to use more detail.
This is a great guide. :-) |

I don't practice.
I don't have patience.
I don't use plugins.
I don't have perseverance.
Look at me now. |

I'll give it a go! I'm thinking about making my own games this summer. |
