[@KillahMate]

I should clarify that this isn't some random third party addon that was created while everyone is waiting for some nebulous 'Godot terrain proposal' to be implemented, as this video implies. This _came out of_ the Godot terrain proposal - the proposal screenshot explicitly shows that the idea is to implement the terrain as an official plugin. So a number of developers decided to try and tackle the problem of building a terrain plugin to be evaluated under the proposal, or adapting their existing terrain tech to be evaluated, and this is the first (and so far only) one of those projects to be released.

[@outobugi]

Yes! We also took a lot of ideas from the Juan's proposal. Other devs wanted to wait for GDExtension to mature and stabilize, but we took the risk and went with it. 😅

[@pacomatic9833]

So if this does get approved, I'd guess they're going to just make a plugin built-in. That or they'll rewrite it to build it in, so things run a little smoother.

[@tomtomkowski7653]

Can we add textures while gaming and save the data? For example, when NPCs are walking on a grass texture it turns slowly to a dirt texture. It is possible in UE5 and Unity by direct access to data and saving it during the gameplay. One way or another this is a great tool that Godot is missing badly as a 3D game-engine so let's hope you will keep working on this and maybe it will be implemented into the core.

[@TokisanGames]

@@tomtomkowski7653 You can edit the data directly, the same way the editor edits the data. But it's not trivial, nor designed for game time editing. Use Zylann's voxel tools for a runtime dynamic system.

This tool looks amazing. Love the UI with sidebar instead of cramming everything on the top bar! Super easy and powerful! Thanks for sharing!

[@ZZKJ396]

When in the editor it runs on the CPU but once its in your game it uses the GPU to render your terrain. Its very fast!

[@bensdecoypoondummy1189]

Interesting. I thought godot was using my gpu 😮

[@OctagonalSquare]

That’s freaking amazing! I’m working on a simple exploration game for a jam right now and having never used Godot for 3D, I was sad to see that it’s missing a terrain system. Very excited to try this out tonight on stream. Maybe I can get my whole world built out of

[@phillippi2]

There is a possible issue with the terrain topology. This can be seen when you paint on hills and valleys. Note that when painting on them, the whole side gets painted, despite the cursor not covering it. The way the sculpting is done can cause issues with physics simulation. It will be much easier for dynamic objects to clip through those areas. This is because of how large the polygons are. Having more and smaller polygons in those areas help to avoid this issue.

[@anth5189]

Looks really good and I hope the development continues. Only thing I noticed was that the tiling is very obvious with the rock textures.

[@outobugi]

Tiling can be eliminated completely. There is a slider for each texture to control how much it is randomly rotated. For the rock texture here it is minimal because the anti-tiling washes out details.

[@anth5189]

@@outobugi That is cool.

[@HickoryDickory86]

​@@outobugi It's cool that you guys have a randomized tile rotation feature, since that goes a long way to breaking up tiling, and yet almost no one does it (at least that I've seen in the games I play). Blender Guru has a tutorial from a few years ago going through the Blender plugins he created to break up tiling. The first big thing, of course, is randomized tile rotation. But, because this can introduce new hard seams, you can also change the borders from strait to squiggly lines, breaking up the apparent seams. He then talks about adding color variation using noise textures (since the natural world is filled with all kinds of patchiness), material blending, and height variation. Anyway, I had always wondered why game/game engine devs hadn't integrated/adapted these or similar plugins into their terrain systems, or else built their own versions natively. Blender Guru's video is titled "How to Tile a Texture Without Repetition - Blender Tutorial" (watch?v=-VgtSL5ZpYc), if you want to check it out yourself. It's very cool.

When you say 'terrain' in a video it always sounds like 'train' to me, so when you do a video about an actual terrain system I can relax, as I know what the 'train' means immediately :) If you ever do a terrain video that somehow heavily features trains I'll be in trouble.

[@anon_y_mousse]

[@matthewobrien4140]

One feature I would love to see in a terrain system would be the ability to draw sprites from tilesets directly on to the terrain instead of being restricted to repeating textures. I love the HD2D style and a terrain system that works well with it would be amazing.

The height map is 2d. It doesn't use voxels. There's no way to do overhangs or holes with this system. It would be a completely different project and not an update to add "holes".

[@TokisanGames]

We will implement visual holes, with instructions on how to allow players to pass through the collision. Then it's on game devs to places meshes around for a cave. Best we can do with a heightmap, and fine for most games. Voxel terrains are available for greater needs.

[@HenryLoenwind]

@@TokisanGamesWouldn't it be easiest to define rectangular regions where the terrain mesh just stops existing (i.e. doesn't generate triangles that are fully (or 2/3) inside)? It'd then be to the game dev to fill that area with their own floor and mask the seam---not exactly rocket surgery. ;)

[@TokisanGames]
