Does this terrain impact performance? This is insane improvement and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were any performance issues.
How about neon terrain? Or the ability to insert our own terrain?

Looks amazing I already what to get my hands on them all, new decoration types for moving flowers would be top notch. New Rock Materials for hill and mountains would also be amazing to see.

There is an intent to add more wood materials to cover more needs, including for parts! You’ll be able to compare materials in the beta when it releases!

A couple questions:
- Is the changing of the names of the materials going to make games that are not updated unplayable?
- How do you opt in? As stated in this post you said “its opt-in” and “you have to apply” for it in the same paragraph, its quite confusing
This material update will be part of an opt-in beta initially. You will have the option to turn it on in Studio and see their impact on your games. We will also take applications for whitelisting places so you can publish your game with the new materials for users to see!

I have a question. Where is the feature where we can turn it on? Is it in Studio Settings or the site?

Has smoothing terrain become any different? Personally I find it difficult to get a result that doesn’t look weird and bumpy, like you can see the individual layers used.

Will water have the ability to slope instead of just being flat/terraced? It currently isn’t smooth at all, and I have to opt with parts.

Amazing! Next step from here on is to allow us to create custom PBR textures not just for Meshes, but Parts as-well.
That’s already a feature request

We do plan on allowing developers to control their own terrain in the near future. Please keep an eye out on the forum for for details on that soon!

Wow! This looks good! I cannot wait! I can wait. This will be really nice to have for roleplay game developers. Looking forward to seeing what will be done with this. I hope we have more features for terrain in the future!

Hey, I would like to ask if would be plausible to be able to utilize terrain grass on normal parts. Currently our studio’s game puts terrain under normal parts, which caused really bad LoD, as Roblox tries optimizing stuff out.
I’ve posted a suggestion regarding this already; Allow for terrain grass / decoration on parts

Could we have more versions of fabric, and metals? It would be useful for carpets and etc…

EDIT: Clone came out and said none of the assets for this are deployed, meaning even if the flags worked, nothing would happen
This looks amazing, progressive as always. We’ve come a long way from the old voxel terrain.
A small question on getting this enabled, I generally like to modify the flags of Studio to test features early cough EditPivot cough (since I do partially know what I’m doing), however no effort of changing them seems to get it enabled.
I’m assuming there’s some controller preventing the BetaFeature flags from working.

I’m not gonna lie, there are times where I really miss voxel terrain. I used to make streets and roads with it a lot.
