Create Accurate Maps with Blender GIS and QGIS

In this video we use QGIS and Blender GIS to import maps, heightmaps, and OSM data accurately into Blender.

    I've been working with both QGIS and Blender separately and this is absolutely what I need for my workflow! Thank you for the tutorial. Keep enlightened us Nicko~

    Hi ! Great tutorial ! Just wanted to mention, when you change the CRS by going in the bottom right corner, it does a "on the fly" reprojection and not a "true" one (which you can get by using the toolbox). This usually has an impact when trying to merge data in QGIS but it might have implications when saving as a shapefile or when importing into blender but it's probably nothing

    Thanks for the comment, that is really good to know. I noticed that layers can have individual CRSs independent of the canvas CRS. Will be looking into it...

    I know you can also get buiilding height data from OSM, if you use the map funcion of BlenderGIS and then later use get OSM, the buildings that have data will be the correct height, do you know how to get that data via QGIS?

    Wow that sounds great, I do not know how to do that, although likely someone in the comments might know...

    Why didnt you use the height info off the buildings? Isn't there a way of using ir in blender?

    As far as I could tell, the shapefile that I used here, didn't have height data included in it. However, I believe that it is possible to have height data in a shapefile, yours might...many shapefiles do! Have a look at this tutorial: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iaqdtstpoZWooKQ.htmlsi=VAw5I97oWkQ6Pghi

    Creating custom CRSs can be a bit glitchy in QGIS, sometimes making a new profile under Settings > User Profiles > New Profile... can help.

    What's wrong with using a CRS appropriate to Greece if they are already defined in QGIS and the Blender plugin?

    Nothing wrong with using a Greek CRS if already defined, also nice to define your own to suit specific needs.
