Grass is getting greener on this side! [GrassLength Studio Beta]

[MightyDantheman (Fate)]

I asked about that in the last AMA:

@MightyDantheman

Will we get more control over terrain?

Examples:

• More water properties, such as flow direction.
• Being able to modify water/grass uniquely from one area to another. (Non-global properties)
• Ability to edit voxel size. (Including smaller than 4 studs)

This was their response:

We’re currently focused on improving terrain’s performance and scalability. We’re always open to hearing feedback and suggestions from creators. If you have any specific asks around what type of controls you’d like to see, we’d love to hear it.

The main improvement I’d like to see for terrain is being able to adjust the properties of grass/water, and preferably all terrain, non-globally.

Additionally, I’d like to see terrain water work as a material that you can apply to a part. This would be incredibly useful, especially if that part can have unique water properties.

I would ask the same for decoration like grass being able to be applied to parts, but water is more important for me right now.

Sadly, nothing more was said on that topic.

Regarding multiple material variants:

@PablitoTheChicken

Are there any plans to allow developers to use different material variants for terrain simultaneously? Currently, you are limited to using only one variant of each material for the entire game. Additionally, will you also enable us to paint the 3D grass over any material, rather than just the grass material?

@skywise84

Thank you for your question. We’re currently focused on improving our terrain’s overall performance and scalability. Internally, we’ve started to think about the future of materials on Roblox. This is a great request, and we’ll take note while we explore the best solution for all creators.
