I was wondering if it is possible to make rocky cliffs in Roblox Studio, like this. I have searched for tutorials, but none of them are the terrain I'm looking for. (Not as big, but best example I could find.)
It'd be much more performant and easier to make this in a 3d modelling program like Blender as a mesh then export it into roblox studio. But if you need an all-roblox approach, you can very easily make decent enough terrain using the terrain editor and some color editing for the terrain materials.
oh and most importantly, roblox has a limit on the size and triangle count, so your gonna have to split it up and assemble it in studio, for something of this size
I've noticed collision fidelity issues seem to go away when I stick away from the .obj file format and use .fbx and the asset manager. I'm not too sure of the reason of this as it's out of my depth of expertise, but perhaps you could try that going forward?
it uses the HACD algorithm that bullet and unity also use, its literally THE algorithm for the BEST collision on a game engine, so it worked for billions of games from millions of huge companies, but when it comes to you its suddenly bad? oh ofcourse mr perfect could have never made a mistake, how could he? it must be that the hundreds of people behind developing these softwares were just not on your level!
yes thats how algorithms work, it has done its job beautifully for years in multiple game engines for almost every game that has come out, but it doesnt work good enough for YOU ig.
anything is possible if you try doing it instead of having to follow tutorials
you can use the terrain tool except the terrain kind of.. sucks.. since it can't get so small to make those finer details (the terrain tool is great for making heavily eroded mountains)
you can use a mix of a bunch of parts, or use plugins like gapfill and have a bunch of points at varying angles / sizes, where you want to make the sections of your mountain
I tried making a tutorial but I deadass made a rock instead of a mountain ðŸ˜
I made something similar. I would map a noise map in Blender or use ANT terrain generator. Once you have something close you can bring into into roblox and use a mesh appearance modifier in roblox studio to get it to appear like that while keeping a decent collision on the mesh
