Can I un-voxelize voxel terrain?

Asked by

5 years ago

So I made this script that manages to generate some pretty natural terrain in chunks. I want to make it look more natural by making the blocks less "blocky". I know marching cubes might work with that kind of stuff but it limits terrain generation. Is there any other way to "flatten" the terrain?

Script:

01chunks = 20
02csize = 30
03platform = 4
04scale = 150
05amplitude = 7
06 
07seed = math.random(0, 10e5)
08print(seed)
09 
10fold = Instance.new("Folder")
11fold.Name = "PT"
12fold.Parent = game.Workspace
13 
14part = Instance.new("Part")
15part.Anchored = true
16part.Size = Vector3.new(platform, 20, platform)
17part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
18part.Locked = true
19part.Parent = game.ServerStorage
20 
21w = Instance.new("Part")
22w.Anchored = true
23w.Size = Vector3.new(platform, 20, platform)
24w.Color = Color3.fromRGB(100, 100, 255)
25w.Locked = true
26w.Transparency = 0.7
27w.Parent = game.ServerStorage
