Tips on making my terrain smoother

Hey! So I am currently trying to make a map, but, I suck at terrain.

I was looking at this other map, and the terrain was perfect, below is an example of my terrain

My Terrain

As you can see it is very bumpy and juts irregular. I have used the smooth tool but stll not improved

A better version of terrain made by someone else

Yet here, the terrain is so smooth and just looks great.

How do I achieve this? Any plugins? Do I use terrain mesher then convert the triangles into terrain?

Any help would be appreciated

Part to Terrain is a useful plugin that lets you convert parts, (not unions or meshes,) into terrain, however you won’t get a nice curve like you want above.

Your terrain already looks really nice in my opinion. What I’d try is to use grow at the lowest level of influence. I don’t specifically remember it’s name off the top of my head, but there’s sliding bar which will allow you to do so. Quickly go over the areas you want.

Then I’d use the smooth tool again. Honestly though, your terrain already looks smooth.

Hope this helped.

Yes, I tried first using Terrain Mesher, then converting the Triangle terrain into terrain but that was went bad

There are many tools on how to perfect your use of terrain, and I will link those below. But I am going to guess that the terrain you said is perfect in the picture would most likely be made through a height-map.
I am not skilled in the art of height-maps but this should be of help.

If you’ve ever used heightmaps, you would recognize that terrain as non-heightmap terrain. Heightmap terrain is too thin to use smooth on, and would create a hole.

Heightmaps is what’s plateaued, what’s not smooth. You will not get smooth results. Have you ever used heightmaps on Roblox before?

I’ve used them many times, and I’ve ceased to used them due to the quality of terrain produced being extremely low.

I can assure you that the terrain above was not made by a hieghtmap.
