The GBG Metaverse supports advanced building, scripting, and content creation. Whether you're a beginner or a professional creator, this guide covers everything you need to build efficiently, beautifully, and safely in GBG.

Basic Building Tools

• Right-click → Build to rez primitives
• Use Move, Rotate, Stretch tools for shaping
• Shift + Drag to duplicate objects
• Lock objects to prevent accidental movement

Advanced Shaping Techniques

• Use Path Cut, Hollow, Taper, Twist for complex shapes
• Link multiple prims into a single object
• Use Align Tools for perfect symmetry
• Enable Show Hidden Selection for precise editing

Texturing & Materials

• Apply textures to individual faces
• Use Planar mapping for clean alignment
• Add Normal and Specular maps for realism
• Use Glow and Full Bright for neon cyberpunk effects

Scripting (LSL / OSSL)

• Use state machines for complex logic
• Avoid heavy timers to reduce lag
• Use llRegionSayTo for targeted communication
• Test scripts in a sandbox before deploying

Permissions & Object Settings

• Set Copy/Modify/Transfer permissions correctly
• Use Group Build for team projects
• Never sell items with full perms unless intended
• Use Phantom for walk-through objects

Optimization & Performance

• Keep prim count low when possible
• Avoid high-resolution textures unless needed
• Remove unused scripts
• Clean temporary objects regularly

Region Settings for Creators

• Use Environment Editor for sky/water presets
• Manage access lists and ban lists

Professional Creator Workflow

• Organize your inventory by project
• Take preview photos for vendors
• Use vendor systems for selling
• Track sales and customer feedback

Troubleshooting

• Object not rezzing? – Check parcel permissions
• Script not running? – Check region script limits
• Texture blurry? – Viewer may need cache refresh
• Object disappearing? – Auto-return may be active

Building in GBG is powerful, flexible, and creator-friendly. With the right tools and techniques, you can create anything from simple props to full cyberpunk cities. Experiment, learn, and bring your imagination to life.
