looks like u just imported a height and color map and called it a day

[native wave]

Not really, the heightmap yes, but the colourmap is still messed up with the software I use, tried to change the sRGB values, and still nothing, so I have to manually tweak colours for now. Roblox isn't my full time thing, Terragen 4 is, and I'm just playing around with exports and imports, because I like how the erosion is showing up, plus I can easily modify terrain in Terragen to my liking because I've worked in it for 3 years. But you are partially right, I am trying to make terrain creation in Roblox as easy but also as realistic as possible, so it can be cheap but also customisable and not a pain to modify like in other softwares. Being efficient and experimenting till I reach every realistic point like in Terragen such as erosion colour patterns and environment patterns is not "calling it a day", they are not fully fledged projects, I just want to showcase my progress, I don't have to work hard and inefficiently to show passion. I've already worked for 3 years Terragen and 1 year in Roblox constantly experimenting on the side, trying to make things better. Look at the full picture, I don't call them projects, I call them prototypes, nothing more than the shell for any game. Landscapes and enormous those at that are my passion, and I like Roblox because I can explore them unlike Terragen 4 which is a rendering software, and I like to showcase my progress in terrain-making to people. If you don't like it because I don't code or work 3 months on it to share 3 screenshots of some houses and trees, then that is not my problem. And besides that, heightmaps may be easier to obtain, but colourmaps don't just "appear out of the sky", I worked hard to even get them going partially, because the Terragen sRGB colour spectrum is much bigger than Roblox's small group of colours.

you can easily convert a terragen color map to a compatible roblox color map

but i understand what you’re saying

[native wave]

So you've worked in Terragen?

Or is there like a universal colour map conversion to roblox sRGB colour values ?

[rose schooner]

yes

look up the color conversion for roblox terrain

[native wave]

I'll be working on it, I did change all colour values to Roblox default values from the start so it all fits, I have a sneaking suspicion that it may be the lightmap combining with the texture map (colourmap) that offsets the colours, especially the snow.

it could also be the anti-aliasing

or strata overlay

[rose schooner]

there is a certain color range that roblox identifies as materials for example stone material would be smoke grey, snow would be white, etc

[native wave]

yeah, but even if I do that and put in the exact RGB values when I try to import it, it either gives me that error, or there are holes in the ground, or it's just all grass, I tried everything at this point, if Terragen doesn't work, then I will try my luck with World Creator 2
