Roblox Tutorial - Advanced Terrain (Deathrun Style) 

Many people seem to believe that unioning the parts is the better solution. DO NOT do this!!! Excessive use of unions will cause significant lag for lower end devices.

4:35 "gap-filling is the most tedious part" for me, it's the opposite. It's so satisfying seeing all of the imperfections seal right up.

Great video!

The “HELLO” on intro I thought I mistakenly watched Daily Dose of internet playing Roblox

I'm more interested on how you made those rocks.

Hi, thank you very much for this tutorial! This tutorial is super helpful for someone who's new to building like me!

Griffen, it's me, MagicJulian000. You may not remember me lol but we played Deathrun together! It was a really boring for me but u made my day when I saw you in the server. You're awesome and you also now taught how to make the advanced terrain. This is a very helpful vid! Ur awesome! 👏👏👏👏

When you use the Build V4 and your camera move randomly Anchor the Brick

3:33 When you use the move tool, don't forget to set the Axis to Local.

"these gaping holes."

I’ve been using those plugins for a couple years and I still learned something new about them from this video, thanks.

I spent at lest 10 minutes wondering why putting 0.001 on every block wasn't working then i continued to watch the video and felt dumb

Me: Accidently starts playing The terain: *Aight imma fall*

I have never been more appreciative, thank you for the build v4, this is a life saver

Griffswagger: Something making tutorial Me: *Likes the sound of the keyboard*

wth why does everyone think with only "Hello Everyone" it's daily dose of internet? xD

well explained, you deserve way more attention.

Notes: Do NOT always use unions, because they are: - Laggy - Can get corrupted - Can't be relied - Bad hitbox - Bad collision The reason why unions can get corrupted is because the SolidPart instance of the union got unlinked from the union, making the union disappear/invisible, everytime to union something, it will make a SolidPart instance that is uploaded to Roblox and hidden, SolidPary contains the BaseParts you unioned, so when they get unlinked, the union disappears. There is a way to recover the corrupted union, since I saw it in the Roblox Developer Forum , go to DevForum and search "Recovering Corrupted Union" BuildV4 doesn't work until you anchor the part. (Thanks @William Seibel ) Edit: Added the Union recovery

6:30 you can also turn all the of the messy parts into a union to fuse it into one part, BUT if you do this with a big amount of parts it can mess with its collisions and sometimes ingame the player would be not in direct contact with the grass but would be a few inches off the ground.

Sorry, for complaining on my other account! It finally works! My friend helped me out! First I was mad because this didn't work for me. But now it works! Thank u so much!

For sizing to deplete Z-fighting I'd like to add if you're using F3X the Y-Axis can be added to or subtracted to in the resize tool (X). It will be the middle input, add 0.001, subtract 0.001

For anyone who is have problems with Build V4, Roblox auto generates welds on parts so open up the drop down on your part to fix

If you don't want some parts to be selectable, such as the concrete base in the video, you turn on the Locked property for each part.

Very nice indepth tutorial. Informative & straight to the point. For the Z glitching you can just union the grass parts if your feeling lazy.

I'm so glad I watched this, this is the type of terrain I was looking for!

0:00 Hello! Everyone This is you're daily dose of internet

Me: Has no interest in Roblox, whatsoever Also me at 2Am: You did WHAT?

when i set the "Y" to 1.001, it just raises the grass Fix: use the f3x move tool to push it back down

I am not the kind of guy to use many plugins. I like to build things in studio a lot and I consoder details like corners and edges very important. I always thought roblox should add things to let you manipulate parts and connect surfaces like that. I never imagined someone likeminded also had the talent to make that feature in plugins. Thank you for showing me thos, you're great

one of the best tutorials on yt keep it up

0:01 yo' I thought you're Daily Dose Of Internet in disguise.

This guy: Using plugins for moddeling Me using Blender: hohohoo... now... this is epic 😎

Thank you so much! I've been trying to make myself that terrain, but I couldn't figure out how! This will come in so much handy later! Also, could you make a tutorial on how to make deathrun-style floating islands? That would be super cool!

3 years later and this still works perfectly. Thank you so much!

this is easily the best tutorial i didnt even need but now i have a bunch of plugins that are so useful

When I heard him say “Hello Everyone” I thought Daily Dose of Internet.

Why am I watching this? I’m on mobile.

I was kinda wondering how you made those rocks, they look cool

Thid video is so helpful for my project, thanks Even though i will have to remake most of my terrain it will make my game look so much better And those plugins are so good

As an experianced builder i find this very intresting i never used plugins besides f3x now im going to start expanding my skill for building

When I click terrain in build V4, my whole map moves when i hover over something EDIT: I found a fix for build V4. Go to home and disable join surfaces

Fun fact: he didn’t cover the other sides

Note: Buildv4 does not work until the part you are editing is anchored!

Great tutorial! You deserve more subscribers!

I not only used the plugins for terrain, but I also used it for houses, furniture, and many other little objects. The plugins really make building much more easier.

Mine isent going in the same development.

For the z fighting instead of making a slight increment couldn’t you just unite all of the individual parts into one and have it retextured like a model?

IF you could make a tutorial on how to make fog in a specific location that would be awesome

Tysm!! Someone commissioned me and wanted a terrain like this and this really helped me out!! 🤍

5:55 you can also fix this by uniting all of the parts together. Wich not only prevents z fights but also helps a bit on the performance.

Everyone: Omg thanks bro helps so much! Some random kid: It didn’t work! Me: How is the select tool rainbow?

Guys stop commenting daily dose of internet comments, he is probably waiting for other types of comments.

Hey bro! I really like your tutorial but I have some questions: A) How did you make your baseplate look like a chess table? B) Do I need to download the plugins or do I get them already in the Studio? Thanks.

Tysm for making this video, as of rn im making my fully own Vibe Game! I strongly recommend this video!

thanks man i really needed this!

do a tree/bush making tutorial

when i use the first tool my whole baseplate flips away

Damn, BuildV4 hell'a hard to control. Is there any alternative without that much lag? (Edit): Archimedes provides the same bend function as BuildV4 and is also easier to use because it doesn't mess with your camera angles.

Appreciate the tutorial, it has so far been the most informative and entertaining one I've seen. Keep up the great work

The gap filling plugin has helped me so much in my builds, and all thanks to this video for introducing it to me!

The intro sounds "Daily dose of internet" HELLO EVERY THIS IS YOURRR DAILY D0SE OFINTERNET

I don’t even play roblox anymore, let alone develop for it. Why am I watching this

oh wait why am i watching this i know for a fact im never going to make a game-

This Tutorial Is AMAZING Thanks for your Afford of creating this Tutorial ^^

ive been looking for a plugin like buildv4 for so long, tysm!

The Plugin of Stravant dosent seem to be installing for me :(

When I try resize the grass things it messes up the whole thing

Thanks now I can use it to make my game even better

I did it, looks very nice, I also made the plate you put it on with the F3X copy and scaling tools, Thanks!

Wow! Amazing video this will really help my simulator. Thanks so much at some parts I understood nothing but then I watched a few seconds more and I understood. For people that are scrollingdown the comments for help because you didn't understand something, just watch some more seconds you will probably.

thanks man, didnt have any issues with this at all, helped a ton. :)

Thanks this helped! Now i can make things super smooth

Thank you for working hard to show us this great way to make advanced terrain griffswagger

Your channel is insanely underrated!

Thank you doing this! I’ve been looking for a tutorial like this for AGES!

Wow this is awesome. I've never seen better terrain made in 6 minutes. Just wow!! Nice channel as well.

Just to note people, this can be done invstudio without plugins, it just requires more time. And as for the grass glitching all youd have to do is union all the grass together.

Thank you This helps me make more maps with f3x Thank you And also I sub and liked

THIS IS DEADASS REALISTIC ASF

thanks! it helped me a lot!

Absolutely works, this tutorial has been really well done and I've learned very fast, bravo m8

The video idea is quite good, but if someone wants to do this themself and they are new, it might be a little unclear. The Z-fighting is fixable with unions and resizing, but both have their drawbacks. The problem with big union lag is because of the way roblox executes collision transfer, oversimplified: the more parts a part touches, the more it lags. This causes big unions with 100 players on them to lag so hard. What I'd do instead is on a sticking out curve, I'd delete half of them in chess-table style and then use gapfill and this way I won't have any irregularities. However, you saw that parts on a positive curve intersect, and when that happens it gets a little more complicated, I have no experience with the face resizing tool, but it should be able to scale your parts as much so you will get a nice perfect inner triangle. Then you need to continue scaling only one of the parts and use gap fill. About both sides, it's better to be explained with text simply because the topic is too big. There's a lot of advanced techniques going on and this is why it was not covered in the video.

to get rid of the z-fighting easier you can just select all the parts that are z-fighting at one time by holding shift or control and then go to model and click union and the z-fighting should be gone

Thanks a lot! This helped me a lot!

This is so cool! thanks!

amazing bro keep up the amazing work :thumbsup:

THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED

Thanks for telling me how to make some good terrain!

Wow this was amazing Griff.

This is so helpful since im gonna try making a hangout game for my friends and me and i will probably use the adavanced terrain for walls

I don’t do building but this is sick and I think it’s gonna be helpful for when I do.

Idk why but Im more interested in studying to build cool terrain and building in roblox studio than studying in school Anyway thx for these cool techniques ( I hope I can apply these in my map )

That build V4 tool is amazing. Not only for that, but think how much easier non-square buildings would be.

This will actually help me build things :D

another useful way to fix the overlapping grass is to turn them into a single union. It cleans up everything into one part and the textures are blended into one

Wow thanks this is really gonna help smashed that like button and sharing it with my builder friends 😋

3 Years later and it’s still super useful

This really helped Thanks

This video is amazing! Very helpful

Most useful video, I’m building a hotel but this still works, thanks!!
