Real world terrain in roblox, 1 stud = 1 meter scale (this is wrong, but fix later)
I used opentopo with ALOS 30m dataset (I think, The base data is 90m+30m) and QGIS to export the data as a Int16 .bil file, which I then import to roblox by first converting the .bil file into base 64, then converting back, then using some maths to turn into beautiful terrain.

Hello, im curious if you are able to create a tutorial which says exactly how you did this.

I have a tutorial for the triangle based version, but the process is pretty much the same except for the actually generating it part. See it on my profile
