(this is my first topic post, so feel free to criticize me so that my posts in the future are better)

During my time on the developer forum, I have seen many people wanting a terrain effect like google’s 3d satellite maps. Even though there is clear evidence that some people have done it, there hasn’t been any explanation for how to do it.

Here is an example of 3d terrain

• Open Source Hawaii 3d terrain showcase: Hawaii - Roblox
  (the showcase has added day/night lights at cities, all islands at water level, nice lighting, etc.)
• Hawaii 3d terrain free model: Hawaii 3d Terrain Mesh - Roblox

The way I created it was using an addon called “Blender GIS”
If you want to create terrain like this (I have known that many people were asking how to) then, I recommend CG geek’s YT video below.

One note is that you cannot import google terrain into Roblox, so use bing terrain & Marine-get-elevation instead.

You could make this a tutorial by explaining what is being done in the video in detail on your post instead of just linking a youtube video. It is much better to show how the work is done rather than just linking to another place where people do it.
