I think roblox should make different updates than just making the graphics better. I think rthro proves my point. The best games don’t rely on graphics, but more on gameplay.
Well great job to you! I could never make something that good.

Being honest, that is what actual wood looks like, and how it would look in real life. But I agree, it’d look weird in comparison to let’s say cartoony diamond plate or the overall ROBLOX cartoony style ( now it’s not anymore but TOGGLE MENU PLEASEEEE)

Yeah. Were all looking for a toggle menu now days.
The slate material is extremely cool, but also looks more like cobblestone than the cobblestone material does. I really like the texture, but it doesn’t fit the slate material. I would recommend using the texture on a different material.

Yeah, we definitely need some sort of material to create rocks, as the new slate does’t have that rough sheet of rock feel anymore. Builders will have to be creative and use other materials such as sand or use textures.

I completely agree, I think the new cobblestone (both the material texture and the terrain) isn’t as good as the previous one, which is why I think we should have a mix of the old and new materials, allowing for the best level of choice for developers

I’ve tried out the new materials and have to say that they are AMAZING!!
These textures look awesome and much better than before (except for cobblestone) and had quite some fun messing around with the new materials.
I believe that there is going to be a lot of potential for a lot of these new materials when they get around to being released.
One thing I really hate about this new update though is the jagged/spiky look in terrain materials, I think it looks kinda ugly and think it should me a smooth transition from let’s say asphalt to grass. It’d really help out a lot with the look.
Overall a great update.
The bricks line I think is because of the brick colors itself.
Edit: The ghosting bricks issue also seems to be present in the terrain version of the bricks.
Edit 2: I’ve found out that a lot of the new terrain materials, if not all of thew new ones experience this ghosting issue.

Grab the old textures here:
Problem fixed!

That’s just it though. They shouldn’t have to find a workaround. While some of the materials do need a retexture (i.e. cobblestone, fabric (not too much though), metal, ice, and plastic) not all of them do. At most slate should simply have new PBR maps, not a completely new texture.

The wood texture looks like the plastic wood that is on the walls in some parts of Disney World.
Luckily, we have the ability to request roblox staff to let us use the old textures natively, as that is what this thread is for.
hey roblox staff, do that .

It’s crazy to see how many people dislike this. At first I thought “this would be a great update, adding more quality and improving games a ton”. From what I have seen from people sharing their builds with the update, it doesn’t look great at all.

Are We Gonna Have Custom Terrain Textures?

One thing to note is that when setting a part to the air material my studio crashes.
Also, is it just me, or does setting the diffuse and specular scale to 1 make everything look blue-ish?

Depending on the skybox. If you have a blue skybox it turns everything more blue like how it does in real life. If your skybox is way too blue everything outside will be pretty blue. If the skybox is way to red everything outside would look way to red. The outdoor colour just depends on how the skybox is already coloured. It’s a lot more realistic and looks better unless your skybox is extremely blue or another colour.

Old Textures vs. New Textures
- The old materials should have completely new textures
- The old materials should have new textures that look close to their original textures
- The old materials should not have new textures
- The old materials should remain as they are
- Some old materials should have new/redone textures and others should remain the same

Personally I think the old textures should remain default while the new textures are something that is just in the materials tab, hear me out here.
Tons of games rely on those materials and if its forced upon us then those games won’t be what they were before. If you allow us to ease ourself and develop our builds using these textures over time instead of fully forcing them on us then that would reduce the amount of backlash roblox is getting over these materials.
I do also believe a lot of people dislike the new materials due to the fact most of them have these issues
Texture Ghosting
Forced Colors
Some materials look completely different on lower graphics compared to max
These are just my opinions and I’m not too experienced in material designing or whatever so Its not really my call here but those are my thoughts.
