A 'transparent' default terrain sounds very exotic - more likely you are seeing the plane grey because you have no directional light or no height variance. Add some hills, add a texture, add a directional light and I think you'll see it wasn't a 'transparent' terrain, just plain grey.

Post back if that's not the case.

thanks for such a fast response, i thought i would be waiting for a while before anyone answered me. anyways to the point, i do have directional light, but when i add the terrain nothing really shows up. i saw videos on youtube where individuals would just click add terrain and they would get this square plane thing (not sure what to call it), but in my case i don't get anything.. im new at unity by the way... here is a screen shots if its helps..

Please don't post follow-ups/comments as ANOTHER answer as you've done here. I fixed this one for you.

I see in the screenshot the default Terrain Data is not the standard one, are you purposely trying to use ats Demo Terrain or is that root cause here? Assu$$anonymous$$g you aren't trying to use that, click the lil circle button to the right of the Terrain Data box and look for New/Default Terrain, if you have several look at the path at the bottom that's displayed as you click one in the resolution screen and match up to this project/scene.

Also, this might just be that your camera view is way off your terrain, press 'F' in scene view with your Terrain selected in hierarchy.

Terrain (script), click the paint brush, select Add Texture, choose something like Grass or whatever - the 1st texture you add will autopaint your entire terrain. Remember to use 'F' to focus terrain in Scene view.
