Custom Grass Terrain Material Override not Working

[Reditect]

Could you double check they both have the same LightingStyle under Lighting?

It turns out they had a different LightingStyle, but this didn’t happen when I first changed LightingStyle on the 21st of January. Is this issue of textures not working the same intentional?

When the Unified Lighting Update happened, I said this:

@Reditect

I opened Roblox Studio just now to check my lighting and it changed drastically. If I wasn’t a devforum addict I probably wouldn’t understand why things looked so different. I used ShadowMap lighting for the “soft” look. My lighting was changed to Realistic with PrioritizeLightingQuality off. This is what it looked like when I opened studio:

I fixed it to look the same by putting it to Soft with PrioritizeLightingQuality on. This is what it looks like now:

The issue (seperate from THIS thread issue) is described better here:

Your previous Technology setting will automatically map to the above configurations to maintain consistency

This does not seem to be the case. Whenever I open a place that previously used ShadowMap, the LightingStyle is always set to Realistic, when it should be Soft instead, and I have to manually change it.

@ItsRainingPixels

• Future: LightingStyle = Realistic & PrioritizeLightingQuality = Enabled
• ShadowMap: Lighting Style = Soft & PrioritizeLightingQuality = Enabled
• Voxel: LightingStyle = Soft & PrioritizeLightingQuality = Disabled

Now, on January 21st when I opened my Project, no matter the LightingStyle, I believe the Terrain looked the exact same. My project before the Unified Lighting Update was ShadowMap. My Terrain looked fine then too. Why would the Terrain look different now if I set the things to match ShadowMap?

I think someone is having the same issue here:

@Dj_Sorcha

Is Lighting Style Suppose to be Connected to whether or not Smooth Terrain has Blending or is it a bug? If it’s not It really should be another setting developers have to choose from instead of forcing one or the other.

Example

Style: Soft

Style: Realistic
