Testing the limits of ROBLOX Terrain

Terrain model of Mount Ararat I’m working on. One of the largest projects I’ve made in a while. Studio hasn’t crashed so far! Feedback much appreciated.

terrain could be a bit smoother for realism. other than that, maybe add some features? such as streams for example.

That’s actually quite realistic. If you really want to push Roblox Studios’ terrain designer tool then I suggest using things that use more GPU and needs more rendering, such as grass, water, or the dynamic clouds.

Thank you! I’m planning on adding a river as well, so we’ll see how it goes.

Is this created with the common terrain tools, or is it created with third party software?
Looks great

Thank you very much! No, this was actually created from scratch using ROBLOX’s existing terrain toolkit.

Is it possible to render all moving grass?

Siberix · February 22, 2022, 3:15am

I don’t think so, but it would be cool if that was possible. Grass also does cause some slight lag/latency with large maps, similar to terrain water.

OH_202020 · February 22, 2022, 1:08pm

Yes, with high graphic settings on the shadows will render.

Roblox studio or in Roblox?

Would be really nice to see some games with more realistic sized maps over the course of this year, Only problem would be lag, but would be interesting to see how Roblox servers handle!

OH_202020 · February 22, 2022, 10:36pm

Both. When turning on in Roblox Studio, the grass will render within. If you want to play and see the rendered shadows, then turn it up to max in Roblox itself.

i heard some guy was gonna make earth in roblox actually!! i wonder how that’s going for him. the madlad bought a huge server just for the project and everything lol.

Woah! That is crazy on Roblox, if you find the project let me know.

It is insane how big and realistic projects are getting in modern Roblox.

Siberix · February 22, 2022, 11:24pm

That would be amazing. I’ve actually tried doing this to an extent before, but there was a lot of issues. I just don’t think ROBLOX’s engine can handle something like that in one map. Definitely going to try again though, with a different approach.
