In order to satisfy the largest population of devs of this new feature, take another look at it this way:
LeafyGrass should include the new grass, after all, its grass with leaves in it, great for fall settings!
Include an option (checkbox) to disable grass in LeafyGrass material such that it can satisfy those who don’t need it. It would be a good thing to include also because of the option for two different grass colors, as it would help break up & diversify environments a little more with less over-used environment aspects.
I’d love if the animated grass could have waves of wind sweep through them! Currently it’s a steady breeze animation. To have wind speed with random waves would be amaaaaazing.
I currently use a given direction to add a wind effect to house fires. Allows the smoke to blow in a certain direction, this paired with grass would be amazing. Highly support this idea as well as a direction the wind could be blowing.
Are those screenshots one of the maps for those who remain?
great ! Roblox is going better and better
It’s an absolutely great feature,you could add a list of different grass/plant species in the future for different environments (for example,small sedges could grow on the grass material in a game simulating a steppe,or really lush vegetation with lots of flowers in a game trying to simulate an alpine area). Even a list of less than 10 different kinds of grass/vegetation would change the game completely.
Thank you Roblox, this is a fantastic upgrade for Terrain it’s going to bring a lot of new life into the world.
I am so unbelievably excited! I suspected that it was going to come out very soon, so I opted for creating a game with smooth terrain. I can not wait for us to finish our first map so we can actually use all the grass everywhere!
I feel like it only working for the grass material, to start, is perfectly fine. Here is what I want out of this, from most to least (in terms of practicality):
- A global grass color.
- Decoration painting.
- Grass colors based on material.
- A decoration system. - Still would absolutely love this, just not as much of a priority.
I hope that my input in aggregation gives good prioritization!
I agree with @TheKatorium it would be nice if we could give it like a mowed feel in like backyards of courtyards.
Actually now that I read through some of the replies I found:
I wouldn’t bite my tongue.
Just imagine if we had decoration grass on triangle-part terrain… Without the grass, it would look too flat.
The grass looks fantastic. Makes my train routes look so much better. Will we see more options to change grass radius and density in the future?
This feature is amazing, yes. In the future, can we eventually increase/decrease the height.
Decorations that may come in use:
Weeds, Flowers, Sea grass, and Vines.
Those are my suggestions for more Decorations in the Future.
Yea I know. I just commented late ;-;
This update is very cool! Cannot wait until it is fully implemented!
This looks awesome. I cant wait to play around with it. Im hoping for some more textures/colors that can be enabled in the future. I hope there are many more 3d landscaping decorations to come such as pebbles, mulch, leaves, variety flowers, sticks, vines, cobwebs, etc. I see so many possibilities!
Slight lightning issue when using big light emmitting particles, only happens with grass. Glad this is being worked on still!
