Hello ROBLOX Developers,
My name is Cenosity, as there are almost no people that know me on here! I would like to introduce myself as a terrain developer here on the platform, but I do not want to get too fancy in professional names, because my work is not exemplar, but rather decent.
Forming MY Smooth Terrain
Part 1.
Open your Studio Terrain Tools, and click the “Add” button. This allows you to place terrain down in Roblox Studio. This is what I use to create my hills, and shape out terrain. NOTE Once you chose an increment to build with (I typically prefer half way across the scale) screenshot it, and do not change the increment, or else all your terrain will not be lined up, and it will look like a mess, after 10+ hours into your work. Use this tool, with the SQUARE, to place all base-terrain down. I tend to place the first layer down, then work my hills, and mountains up after.
Part 2.
After placing your first layer down, I will start to form the shape of the map, typically adding larger mountains to separate the sections off. I do this by using the ADD tool on top of the terrain that is already there. Every-time you go up, make sure to go in more and more, to make the effect of a hill.
Part 3.
To make the stacked terrain look like a hill, you need to fill it in, and give it shape. Example below: Same increment using CIRCLE
Part 4.
I personally use the grow tool to form the smooth “hill, or most of the time, large mountains.”
OVER 10 HOURS OF WORK!
I put over 10 hours of work into just making the mountains look smooth… THIS IS TIME CONSUMING!!
Beneficial ways to Make Larger Terrain Masses
Idea: The use of Roblox Smooth Terrain to generate large hills, ie. Mountains, through a plugin, or script, etc.
How do YOU do smooth terrain QUICKER? Do you even? Or do you do terrain by hand, taking a lot of time? PLEASE give me suggestions, or even, how I can improve.
And, how is it that you, when using terrain, make large mountains, maps, and hills, while being fast, clean, and efficient in your work? I’ve tried for so long to find new ways to do it, but by-hand is the only way I’ve ever gotten to figure out how to do.
If you guys have any suggestions, or have any different ideas, that would be greatly appreciated!
