I had a similar experience, crashing when using Parameterization > Trivial Per triangle. The crash went away if I first used "Remove Zero Area Faces".

There's a better way to remove the materials at 13:40, there's a addon called Material utilities in Blender that can be turned on, then right click on the object and choose "Material Utilities" then followed by "Clean Slots" and "Remove All Material Slots". Great video BTW!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to put this tutorial together! Anyone else having issues baking the texture out? Tried with and without CUDA, model stays stubbornly black. increased the cage size and margin size...still no dice. Any advice please?

@SanningArkitekter

Күн бұрын

Hello, Clyde! Thank you for your appreciative words! Regarding your problem with baking, we do not know specifically what could be the problem (for examples, the texture node to bake to must be disconnected during baking, and can be connected after baking, or the scaling of the objects might be off, which affects the baking setting, or any other problem). If your issues persist, and you want to try an alternative, other users have recommended using Lily’s Texture Packer instead of projection baking - it entails a small cost, but is easier to use and has much more reliable results. Thus we can indirectly recommend it. Best wishes /Sofia & Alexander

Did you make sure to set the Max Blocks parameter (when importing to Blender) to -1? Also, if you use Blender 4.0, the import will not work in the manner you describe (only one block will be imported), so make sure you use 3.4 or earlier. Best wishes /S&A

Regarding your problem with MeshLab, other users have recommended using Lily’s Texture Packer instead - it entails a small cost, but is easier to use and does not strain the computer as much.

I cannot get this to work as when I click on (PID) OK and the Chrome screen opens it displays "You are using unsupported command line flag - disable-gpu-sandbox. I cut and paste the (CMD) command from your instruction and so it hasn't been entered incorrectly. Also the RenderDoc screen displays API D3D11 NOT PRESENTING. I have gone over everything in the tutorials and have matched every step exactly. I have Renderdoc v1.25 installed.

Hello, Josh! We are sorry that we cannot be of any significant help - we searched on Google for your issue, but could not find anything directly related to Google Maps and RenderDoc. If you have already made positively sure that you are using the RenderDoc 1.25 version, then perhaps trying to use the same workflow in Google Earth instead of Google Maps might be a semi-viable way forward. If you do solve your issue, please let us know how you solved it. Best wishes /Sofia & Alexander

why do we need to pan map during screenshot making?

@SanningArkitekter

Ай бұрын

It is not strictly necessary to pan the map, but RenderDoc captures the frame when it is being rendered, and to our experience, if the map is static, the captured frame might be much smaller than intended if the map is ”kept active”, as an example, by panning. For us (especially with the old version of 1.13 of RenderDoc) it consistently has worked much better for us - you are very welcome to experiment :) /S&A

Hello! Did you properly unwrap the mesh (assign UV coordinates to all vertices by placing the mesh face islands in a UV 0-1 space) with MeshLab or Blender or another 3D mesh software before projecting the texture in Blender? And when exporting the unwrapped mesh from Blender, did you make sure to include UV coordinates in the export settings? Best wishes /S&A

Hello, Abdullah! It is mentioned in the tutorial, but not very clearly, that with the specific version of MapsModelsImporter that is used, we have only gotten it to work with Blender versions 3.4 - 3.6, and not with 4.0 or later (you are using 4.1). So we recommend for using this workflow, to also download and install Blender 3.6 (it will be installed in a separate directory and not conflict with your 4.1 installation). The link is this one: www.blender.org/download/releases/3-6/ Best wishes /Sofia & Alexander

Although we did not succeed in replicating your issue, we enter below some information about our setup, and if you have any differences, it might be the reason why it does not work (since it does work for us): Windows 10 22H2 RenderDoc 1.25 Chrome 124.0.6367.210 (we also updated to the latest version, 125.0.6422.77, and that did also work for us) We hope that you manage to find what is making it not work for you.
