I wanted to create a plugin that allowed the creation of more realistic terrain without having to go to the effort of creating height map images etc. Here is an image of a typical island created with the tool (it takes a few seconds):
I didn’t manage to get any feedback from the Creations Feedback thread, so I’m going to just let it loose in the wild here. You’ll see that I have left myself some space for further development and I will add that if there is sufficient interest here.
You should be able to download the rbxmx file to your Roblox\Plugins folder and then it should be available in Studio.
LSGTerrain_Plugin.rbxmx (218.0 KB)
If you try it out, please let me know your thoughts and post some pictures if you manage to create anything nice! Have fun. All you need to do is go into studio settings and enable Plugin Debugging Enabled. Restart Studio.

umm, what is the plug in name when it shows up? does it need script injection…?
might need to close and open studio , then also turn on script injection…
or what? I do not see it after I put it in my plugin folder…
Hey, thanks so much for trying to check it out. I’ve done some testing here: All you need to do is go into studio settings and enable Plugin Debugging Enabled. Restart Studio.
Looks like there is some sort of bug with the debug service being required to run plugins that have a run context of “Plugin”: [Plugin Update] Script RunContext: Enable Parallel Luau & “Plugin” Global Autocomplete

You should be able to get the plugin from:
Please let me know if this gives you any problems.
I’ve had some suggestions / questions on this in DMs, I’ll summarise the answers here to keep you all informed:
-
What I have considered adding to it:
Auto-painting more terrain types by altitude and gradient (although it is quite easy to manually do this in the Roblox terrain tools). Auto-vegetation / rock tools. Road / path generation. River / stream generation. Convert to editable mesh + different LoD.
-
Am I still working on it:
I’m paused, but open to possibilities. Apart from a couple of DMs the response to the plugin has been minimal and I don’t really want to pile hours into something 3 people might use.
-
Will I charge for it in the future:
I’d like to, and that would really motivate me to put more time into it, but it feels like there is almost no demand for it, so I would be pay-walling something from most users to earn a coffee, which seems pointless.
You can help motivate me by:
If you have tried it out, post here and tell me what you do/don’t like. Tell me what new feature you would most like to see. If you just like whole thing, please say so as that would really motivate me to do some more (it also bumps it for others to see). If you would actually spend $ on this let me know.
