In this post "http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=52048656" you'll find a link to a video (I don't wan't to get banned for posting offsite links). It's about plugins and in the video you'll se some awesome terrain in roblox. But... The terrain seems to just ONE object! Am I wrong? If not, it's going to be awesome! I just wanted to know more about it and I don't know if this is the right forum. Did anyone go to the rally and test it?

It was made by the TerrainService, which is disabled for now.

It's one "object" that uses Voxel points to construct the outside faces and run physics. So it's virtually lagless. Until you blow it up at least :3

When you blow it up it doesn't explode, it makes a hole.

Terrain doesn;t move. It's stationary.

"Terrain doesn;t move. It's stationary."
I meant adding moving parts in addition to terrain in the same place.

Dynamic lighting and extensions will be useful, but the terrain gen isn't.

"a huge ram killer" -> Not really. MC doesn't take to much memory, and it has lighting that's dynamic. That gave me an idea. boolean Lighting.DynamicLighting -> Toggles dynamic lighting.

No wonder dynamic lighting in MC doesn't lag. All the blocks are the same size and they are all laid out in a grid. With Roblox, it's different.

We're going to make a plugin that makes beaches and snow and animals and call it craftmine.

But if they're using a diamond weapon it doesn't do any damage.

Ultimate trolling.
