If you guys haven't started working on your terrain stuff, please please please consider doing voxel-based terrain. It's way better and more flexible than doing Height-Map based terrain.
Check out Planet Coaster's terrain editing to get an idea of what i'm talking about.
This will empower us to do amazing stuff in a sandbox.
Hi Ryan,
Thank you for submitting a feature request I will bring this up with our product team. Enjoy the new year!

If the decision is made to go with a voxel terrain system, it is critical to have the ability to upload a file to start with (like .raw or a heightmap) which is then utilized to convert into the initial voxel map starting point, rather than having to start with a flat plane. Additionally, the ability to save the terrain once done as some form of finished save state is very important, so that if you are working on your scene in maya/blender/etc. you can work with the terrain in the state it exists live, rather than working with the heightmap with none of the changes you have made while it was in the voxel state.
This process would be ideal and is very similar in function to the SL terrain system, though with voxel terraforming.
I would like voxel terrain to with accurate multi layered painting on it, and needless to say, it has to be exportable. 8k maps thanks
