How do I get rid of these, on the terrain, while retaining the spherical shape?

[FoxythDou]

Hello Devs! Im trying to make mars, using Roblox’s terrain editor. I started of by converting a sphere to terrain of sandstone, but it seems like the bottom part ruins the thing.

How should I fix this? ANy better alternatives? I’m using roblox’s Terrain because it has more detail from what I know and pretty easy to use.

Maybe try painting the texture on the bottom.

The results you want to achieve basically requires you to look into modifying Smooth terrain textures, which is not impossible but extremely hard, to say the least.

I dug through some old threads to find if there were other people also interested in this topic and I found these;

Custom textures for terrain

Smooth terrain is really cool and super handy, but to me it’s lacking one important feature; custom textures. This could work in many ways; you could be able to import your own materials and such or, alternatively, “overwrite” Roblox’ current terrain textures to suit your needs. I’m requesting this to broaden the use of smooth terrain - e.g. a cartoony game does not go well with realistic terrain textures. poll (this was already proposed about a year ago, and @zeuxcg has also stated that it wo…

Take note of @Maximum_ADHD 's comment, it highlights how hard it is achieving your desired results.

Where can I find the textures of smooth terrain?

He wants the materials, not the textures You simply cannot get the color, height, and normal data without rebuilding the material. He will have base images. Not only that but terrain textures aren’t even displayed in the folder. [image] These are the only terrain material images you will find. Like he stated, he wants the materials.

I actually made a somewhat similar topic, although the thread is not really about modifying smooth terrain textures it will give you a better picture about it. hopefully

Smooth terrain building issues

This is due to how voxels are calculated based on the neighbouring voxel - I will admit that it’s odd how Concrete bleeds into Brick, and not how they both mix at the middle. Rounding errors are always present when you’re dealing with a metaball-esque structure, and Smooth Terrain noise has always been a problem, unfortunately. Not much you can do with this besides write code that clears out voxels that are less than X full. As mentioned earlier in the thread, that’s the terrain LoD. You …

Lastly, I also made this topic above and @Aotrou comment maybe can help you out. you can try creating a mesh with a sandstone Texture object and use that said mesh to cover up the below half of your sphere to mask the undesired texture.

This all is some pretty advanced stuff and per my opinion, it’s probably better to tolerate that ugly texture instead of going into Pandora’s Smooth terrain textures box.

edit; grammar
