This is fantastic, this morning I rendered the neighborhood I lived in when I was a teenager. Spent all day wandering around all the old haunts and catching up with my old schoolmates! Be warned, though, you might want to find an old skin of yourself to wear depending on where you spawn otherwise you might not be recognized by the locals and they can be surprisingly violent. Also, be aware that just because you can't see beyond the blur screens, those hidden behind them can see out. In most places it won't matter, but some are blurring black-op sights and I don't think I need to tell you that you don't want to be smeared by those people.

Bloody brilliant! Exactly what I was after, thank you so much!!!

By ensuring I downloaded the exact versions of everything you said, I was able to follow this flawlessly. I still have no idea what I'm really doing but hopefully I will be able to print a 3d model of my neighborhood- super cool, obrigado!

Hello Arbes, I want to start by saying that I really enjoyed your tutorial. However, I've run into a bit of a problem. Everything was going smoothly up to the injection point, and I even saw the stats bar on the top left side of Chrome. But here's the issue: when I try to inject it into the GPU process, it briefly shows a 'connecting' or 'trying to connect' page and then quickly returns to the injecting page. I've tried using versions 1.13, 1.28, 1.26 and 1.16 of RenderDoc, but unfortunately, none of them seem to work. I'd greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you might have!

no meu computador, tive que desabilitar a função do chrome em que sempre que abro ele abre as abas que estavam abertas antes de fechar o navegador. tambem descobri que não pode ver o youtube enquanto faz o tutorial, sugiro que abra outro navegador para vizualizar o tutorial enquanto o faz no goocle chrome.

Or you can simply create a Batch file for running that command line string. And simply doubleclick it and run it. Open Notepad -> paste string into notepad and save -> close file -> change extension from txt to bat -> run it by double clicking just like any other app

Would you be able to import multiple captures? Like if I wanted a larger area but also high quality can I capture them separately close up then import both and allign them? Which brings me to the next question because of course there will be overlap, is the model completely editable so you can cut/remove the individual Google Earth tiles to line the 2 models up properly? Or even go as far as deleting specifically a building to replace it with another? Looks insanely cool.

so this is pretty cool but im guessing you are limited to the last google maps update. For example I tryed to fake a drone scene using this method but when I looked up for the area I needed, it last update on maps was like 5 years ago lol. So it didnt work for me only because of that reason.

Yeah. Unfortunately, you are limited by the scans Google Maps provide. However, if you have a drone and the area of interest isn't that big you can do a scan yourself and it will look much better than Google's (after all, you have a closer camera than a satellite). Thanks for commenting! 😄

Hey there! I can only think of two possible reasons: 1) You didn't wait enough time to properly fetch the models or didn't "wiggle the screen" enough when capturing, or; 2) The scanned region is simply bad. The scans have a pretty bad topology and it's not surprising at all to think this could be the issue. There's nothing to do except remodeling or finding another source for the scans.

Hi, anyone has idea how to remove (detach) part of the model in blender without effecting the rest part of model. The season I am asking is because we need to remove subject development site and replace with 3D development design model. We have difficulty removing part of blender model (import from 3d google map) without effecting other part (will remove other model and texture map). Anyone has good workaround for this? Thank you very much in advance!

Doesn't work here. Every time I inject the PID number it seems things are good but then when I click OK on the small pop up with the pid# to remember thereafter....in RenderDoc it switches and says in red NOTE: Injecting only works when the process has not used the target API. Also, there is no D3D info displaying in upper left of chrome so guess it actually isn't working even before clicking ok on the small initial popup??? I get the same result on Blender 3.4, 3.5 and versions 1.1 1.19-1.26 of Renderdoc. Should I not have any browser open when injecting?? Have spent several hours trying to resolve this but just can't seem to get it to work 😞

Жыл бұрын

Hey! Sorry to hear it's not working for you. :( I didn't encounter these issues when I was testing but I know some people have reported problems with some versions of Google Chrome. I would recommend a few things, though: 1) Try to restart the computer after installing RenderDoc and doing the process again. It's absolutely crucial that you don't press Ok as soon as you start the browser using the command and you must inject it into the correct process (id with the pid). RenderDoc does its magic before the graphics API is initialized, so if for some reason it's being initialized at the wrong moment it will not work. I just tried here with another browser opened and I had no issues. 2) Try changing the location for another Chromium-based browser. I heard Vivaldi worked with some people but the overlay on the top left is white instead of black (just a small visual glitch). 3) Retry using version 1.1 of RenderDoc. For some reason, people succeed with newer versions but some don't. Good luck! If you manage to solve this in any way, share the solution with us here. Someone may have the same problem later and it will be helpful :)
