#1

Update(Nov 15, 2024)

  • Significantly faster than version 1
  • Cleaner UI/dock-able widget
  • Better noise preview
  • Added a “UseNoise” toggle, can turn off if you want to just paint normally
  • Added water material

Some clips of version 2:

Terrain Painter

I made a tool lets you paint terrain materials!

This is a bit different than roblox’s because it has the following features:

  • You can use perlin noise to paint, making it easy to add natural variation across large areas
  • Intuitive/easy to use material whitelist. Simply hold down alt to select a material
  • You can specify a min and max “roughness” to paint on. Useful if you want to only paint the steep sides of a mountain etc.

This makes large scale terrain painting a lot easier for me than roblox’s, and I’m giving it to you guys for free! Here are some demos of the plugin(version 1)

Perfect timing! I was considering to make something like this for my project in progress, but now I don’t have to. I realize that lately you’ve been very busy with the new plugins. Always happy to see your creations. Keep up the great work!

@EpicC4Troll I fixed this and it works fine for me, so it shouldn’t happen… I’ll take another look at it in a bit

While technically you are correct,
the purpose of this plugin is to be the exact same. But with extra quality of life features such as having an option to not paint over any terrain material rather than just water like in the defualt.
Aswell as more options but im not gonna copy the post.

No, studios terrain tool is a bit slower, has a smaller radius, doesn’t support noise for material painting, or steepness parameters

Didnt work first time i downloaded. works now. Do you have a tutorial on what each slider means? and effects you like to do?

edit: wow this is a pretty cool effect easily painted!

It’d be cool if I could dock or at least move the plugin’s window, it completely blocks my view.

Thanks! Anyways, great stuff mate, it’ll make painting nice textured terrain much easier as opposed to randomly and rapidly clicking around with the normal paint brush XD
