Yet Another Voxel Terrain Recreation

[Macintozh (duke)]

To add to my other voxel recreations (Voxel Terrain brought back into studio! - #15 by Macintozh)

I have gone and recreated it on a much larger scale, completely recreating the Happy Home in Robloxia as it were in Early 2014;

Another view (from studio window)

You can play-test it here:

2014

And the tweet I made in case you wanted to see that too

(And of course, its not completely perfect, there are still some minor hiccups like messed up collisions on the terrain and so on, but its still a cool thing to look at for nostalgia)

Woah! How did you do this? Did you get some old Studio version or did you make this by scratch?

I downloaded the oldest version that supported the export selection feature and imported it into blender where i retextured everything because the Late 2014 terrain textures are way different than the older ones. I then split it up into 15 parts and exported as an FBX (so i could get up to 21000 triangles instead of the regular 10000) and used avatar importer.

Then I went to the real happy home place and downloaded it, and copy and pasted the buildings into their place.

To get the lighting, I just opened the same happy home place in 2014 studio and replicated that same lighting.

It’s a very lengthy process (It took me 2 days for this whole map) and you need to get it perfectly, and even I overwhelmed with a lot of nostalgia when I was taking the 4th picture. Hope this isn’t too vague of an explanation as I am not one to do tutorials on certain things.
