This is insane news⌠I was kinda sad when I found out that custom materials were only gonna be for MeshParts for now, so it makes me happy that Roblox is showing love to parts again. I canât wait to see what the planned materials turn out like. Thank you so much!

- No, Roblox engineers always make sure updates are backward compatible to prevent older games from breaking. Your question was also already answered by an engineer so make sure to read t through the post before asking a question as it may have already been answered:
- I donât believe this statement is confusing. The material update in Studio will be an opt-in beta that is available to everyone. There will be an application set up for those that want it enabled live in their games before its full release.

I Cannot WAIT for this to come out and release! As a terrain artist, I always find the current materials limiting to what I can actually do, But Iâm absolutely thrilled to see this expansion to terrain list and cant wait to continue working with terrain even more-so after this material expansion releases!
However, I feel that terrain properties should be improved on, I feel that if you were to add Properties to change the brightness of certain parts within the material, take lava for example, if you were to give us the option to actually make the lava pop more than it already does, thatâd be amazing and help so much for certain things, or even ice, give us an option to increase the gloss of it. I feel little options like this would give terrain builders even more freedom to do whatever their hearts desire.

What material do I feel needs to be added? The ability to import custom tiled (or not?) PBR materials - not just for meshes. 
On a serious note; Iâm making a sci-fi game, and having generic tileable âpanelâ assets would be great; currently, I need to use either a mesh or many parts to produce good looking panels, where realistically I could just use PBR bump maps to create the same effect.
The new materials shown look great! Canât wait to see how the rest look - Particularly the diamond part material. I know that creating a convincing diamond material is super difficult.
More very exciting changes as usual!

Sorry for the bump, but more like 7-6 years ago? Smooth terrain was introduced in 2015.
