I believe it’s possible if you go into into the Roblox files. I doubt that would work though. :flushed:

Custom terrain materials are currently in beta (iirc they’re grouped with the extended materials release but I could be wrong) and not supported. You require SurfaceAppearance instances to use this feature.

@Crazedbrick1 this would only work locally, and probably also mess up a lot of stuff. I don’t recommend changing any files unless you really know what you’re doing.

@colbert2677 if I remember correctly, that coming update changes Material properties to better match Terrain materials - this includes the PBR that Terrain currently has on higher graphic settings.

@so1ehee there is currently no way to apply PBR textures to Terrain. Due to the way Roblox handles PBR textures, in that they do not tile like a Material, this wouldn’t be a good way to go about this anyways. I’ll also point out that with higher graphics settings and proper lighting, Terrain doesn’t look as bad as many people say.
