The EASIEST Guide to Making Amazing Terrain (Roblox Studio)

In this video we’re going to look at exactly how to use the terrain Editor to its maximum potential and exactly how to make amazing worlds really fast with it so let’s get started you need terrain to make amazing realistic maps and you can go ahead and add terrain grow it expand

It really fast without meshes or any of that stuff so the way that you can actually access the terrain editor is by going to view and then going to terrain editor right here and making sure you have it dark gray and you have you’ll see it on your screen somewhere so yeah

Here is the terrain editor so I’m going to close out the toolbox so we can see this full screen there’s a few different sections but the main one that we want to look at is edit edit allows us to go ahead and start adding our terrain so

Let’s start add let’s go ahead and add a bunch of terrain so you can click add and you can change the size here and you can drag around and click and you’ll go ahead and add some terrain now I’m gonna admit I don’t really like the add tool I

Don’t like it that much and the add tool is just really not that good you’ll see it’s just like kind of not it’s not that good that’s why I highly recommend using the plugin called part 2 terrain which is going to let you turn an entire part

Into terrain so I’m going to click on the base plate turn that into terrain and boom there we go you can get this plugin by clicking the link in the description or just searching it up inside of toolbox and typing in part two terrain so next up let’s take a look at

Flatten well we have all this lumps of terrain so we might as well flatten it back out so the flatten tool you can click that I mean go ahead and increase the size and we can flatten this oh I’m just gonna flatten it out a little bit

And there we go so next up paint paint is incredibly useful so let’s go ahead and grab the material called leafy grass so as you can see by default you should have terrain decoration on which is these grass blades if you don’t have this on you can click the terrain in

Workspace and go ahead and check off decoration and make sure that’s enabled but what leafy grass is for is mainly for painting areas that don’t have this 3D grass and it’s really useful to make a variation and really cool stuff so I highly recommend using that when you

Need it especially if you have a part you don’t want these blades sticking through so that’s what this is really useful for now let’s look at the grow tools so the subtract tool we’re not going to look at that because it’s basically the same as ADD but

Subtracting now a road allows us to go ahead and push away terrain and push it in see so we can sculpt it out can I add some bumps Etc we can just form it how we want there’s also the grow tool which is the opposite it allows us to grow it

Out so I recommend making you know some cool like Hills like this and you’ll go ahead and see the sides of the Hill they’re very not nice so what I recommend doing is painting these with Basalt or something like that and go ahead and making that a nicer material

Now we can always change our grand materials I’ll admit this is a little dark so we can click on the terrain and click on this color and we can go ahead and set this to a little bit brighter and there we go so looks pretty nice so

We can just paint the sides of these Hills with Basalt now we have a very nice looking Hill very natural looking very good now one other thing we can grab like ground we can go ahead and paint some of that around add some Trails maybe but yeah so using all these

Tools together you can go ahead and make some amazing environments so I recommend you know growing some terrain making some really big areas even using the add tool by sizing it up maybe making like a cylinder and then just adding some of these around go ahead and get some cool

Shapes here going now this looks like complete crap but if we size this up we can go ahead if we grab our road tool size it up we can go ahead and pull away from this and make it into an actual Hill or Mountain so yeah as you can see

We’re getting some really nice stuff I actually want to see how this looks with Sandstone do they have Sandstone anymore yeah there we go actually kind of cool we could add some sand around it make a whole new Biome Minecraft you know so you know paint a bunch of sand there and

There we go so yeah I love terrain and I know certain people don’t like terrain but I love terrains I like I like making maps with Turin so much so now something really cool to keep in mind is that the terrain editor is now made even more useful with material service where you

Can create custom materials and material override and you can also recolor all the terrain in here again and it’s really nice so I can go ahead and make the grass a little bit brighter you know get a cooler color you’ll want to copy that and paste that into leafy grass too

But now with the AI material generator it’s insane so I can go ahead and add a part or I can go to home click material generator and if you don’t have this you can go to file beta features and in here you can enable material generator which

Is right here and you’ll have to reopen Roblox Studio restart it to go ahead and get that but yeah so with this we can select our part we can type in simple smooth heart cartoon grass shaded we’ll go ahead and get a bunch of material instantly generated by AI for

Us so and then after we apply it to our part we’ll be able to use it so yeah now this actually looks pretty cool although simple it’s a little simple but we can try it so let’s go ahead and change the base material to Grass save and apply

That there’s an uh there is a organic mode which actually Smooths out different textures and blends them together but you know depending on the texture you might want to use that you might not for tile you probably wouldn’t but for this works now we can go ahead

And go to our material service change the default material for grass to the simple grass material and it’s going to go ahead and turn that into our simple graph let’s go ahead and chain I’m going to duplicate this I’m going to go to material service click this hit Ctrl D

And I’m going to change the base material to Leafy grass this way we can actually set it to be the same I’m going to go to Leafy grass I’m going to change it to the simple grass material it’s kind of a weird looking material but you know it demonstrates it a little

Bit how about we get a simple smooth cartoon mud texture and replace this just for another example kind of liking that I like that a lot actually holy crap that’s good and it’s crazy it looks like that’s really like a footstep or something so I’m gonna make this organic

Size that up the base material mud or something apply that and we’ll set the default material in material service and we’ll go ahead and change it to our simple mud material and oh wait let’s change let’s duplicate that um let’s make that ground and let’s see let’s make it let’s make that okay

Because I forgot we were using ground so let’s go boom so yeah now that’s looking awesome we’re having a much more cartoony vibe to this we could even go do the same thing with this we had a cartoony Rock texture see how that looks for basalt oh my gosh I love this this

Is crazy bro so base material will set this to Basalt go to material service set this to that boom crazy right see how that looks organic mid but yeah I mean the the opportunities are endless with this really can’t wait to see what you can create but if you want to

Improve your terrain skills even more make sure to click the video on screen with some amazing terrain tips and a video I made a while ago some really good advice if you want to keep improving your terrain skills go make some amazing realistic or cartoony maps
