Community:Roblox/Empty Baseplate

Empty Baseplate is a starter place. This starting place is usually chosen by more experienced builders, as it allows for building projects to be made from scratch. As of the end of March 2012, when the new version of "Empty Baseplate" released, the base is no longer a part and instead was made using the terrain feature. This was changed once again back to an empty block baseplate (With a more bright blue skybox) somewhere in the middle of the year.

Alterations & Versions
When the first version of Empty Baseplate was released, it was a green small 64x64 studded, green baseplate. The second version was increased to 512x512 in 2007. The third version was the same except that it was recolored to black instead. The third version was the first baseplate to incorporate terrain instead of using a part as the baseplate.

The latest alteration of the "Empty Baseplate" is the same as the third version except it is recolored to grey instead and a slightly different skybox like the updated 3rd one with terrain.

Trivia

 * The description "Tabula Rasa" implies that the baseplate is what new users start out with, and develop into fully-fledged games as they learn more about Roblox Studio.
 * The template was originally called Empty Platform.
 * A minigame called Ground Environment existed in 2004 which was a green baseplate much like Empty Baseplate.
 * There's an updated version of the baseplate which the baseplate is in a grid texture and has a spawn location in the middle. And now the Baseplate 2006 place is renamed to "Classic Baseplate".
