This is really cool, but I wish Roblox wouldn’t lock really useful tech like this to extremely specific features like terrain. Most games on Roblox don’t use terrain and it would have been nice to get this decoration system on surfaces like parts as well, especially if it’s planned to have customization options in the future.

Got to try it out a bit and I can see grass getting more improvements and changes in the future. Nonetheless this is an excellent addition to those are are persistent with utilizing smooth terrain. Looking forward to seeing a lot of creations with it

I thought the same and its quite a reoccurring feature. Force field shimmer effect was super cool, locked to a specific material, same with glass. There are other examples throughout Roblox too

I’ve been loving this new grass a lot and have also been loving what everyone else has shared here!

Visually, there’s a whole new level of detail (pun not intended). The terrain feels much more “real” and just more like terrain should always feel imo.

Cool but I have some ideas for the grass.

  • Change Scale
  • Change Color
  • Add to some locations like a paint tool
  • Can go on more then grass
  • Change region’s grass color

That looks absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to use it in my next project.

Already people are doing some amazing things with this, can’t wait until it presumably has more settings.

It is a particle effect not solid, so no.

Is grass/decoration likely to stay terrain-only due to the way it’s implemented, or is decoration on parts theoretically possible?

Not asking for promises of course, just whether its worth asking for since I don’t use terrain for many of my projects.

The grass makes things absolutely natural. Would 100% want to create stuff with this.

Wow, how did you get the terrain like that?! That’s a whole different texture.

aaaaah man! this is great! this is WAY better then using partials for grass! would love to see other things added as well in the future, like crops and flowers, thank you for this great update!
i would also like to be able to have shorter or taller grass in different areas, places that would be mowed are now overgrown, but other then that amazing results

This is late. Very much so, but I just had to comment on this. Absolutely incredible.

With lots of displacements and careful recoloring.

Great update. Can’t wait for more updates that will truly cement ROBLOX as a robust and legitimate game development platform.
