Blender & Google Earth Studio - 3D Augmentation 🌎 + 🔥 

Really great piece of script. Works perfectly. Been looking for something like this for a while. And there's this wonderful tutorial to go along with it... amazing! Thanks for all the effort that went into this. Keep up the great work! :D

I can`t believe... I so love geomodeling and blender and GE but I never mind that it is possible to use them together, it`s awesome and great thank to you man !!!

Thaaaaaank you!! You have no idea how much time I've spent trying (and failing) to do this.

That's awesome! Can't wait for the next vids!!

Amazing ! Excellent ! Well done, and thank you for the experience you share. Great !!!

THANKYOU! This is exactly what I was looking for. Can't wait for the 3D KML route paths tutorial. One small request/recommendation... It would be great if you could add a few extra minutes to the videos so you can slow down a little. Makes it easier for us newbie's to follow along

Always dope tech Tips, thx!

Very, very cool.... Earth Studio gets better and better 👍🏻(and I learned a lot og Blender stuff too)

Many Thanks for such a wonderful tutorial, eagerly waiting for the next one

It works perfectly!!! Thank you so much for your time, for coding, and making such wonderfull videos!

This is fantastic. Great video. Lots of useful info. Kudos.

Your tutorial definitely takes GES to another and more interesting level. And I'll be sure to to watch your video on compositing in Blender (instead of After Effects)l - keep up the good work 👌

Google earth studio & blender combination. Thats great animation.. thanks for tutorial.i am from Indonesia

That's an awesome tutorial! In addition: there is some ways to project shadows on ground without UV ( Shadow catcher for Cycles for example) and you can render with video using Compositor directly in Blender.

This is breathtaking innovation. I love it.

Great demo!

This is truly amazing.

Really great tutorial video. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the script.

That is Fing cool....the right vid at the right time!!!

When does the tutorial with the animated water and reflections come? I love your tutorials!

A little complicated but very nice, thanks for sharing.

Wow amazing!

I got it to work after a while. It is important to note that if you paste the path in from your file browser, all of the slashes will be backwards for the Python script. You want forward slashes (/) not back slashes (\) Very cool piece!

Very nice!!

Great job

This is dope

Very nice

Fun video. Thanks

GREAT!

Thank you !! ;)

Longing to see the tuto to modelize the moving and reflecting water 🤩

This seems like a very cool way to add markers and and points of interest to a travel map. As someone who hasn’t used Blender do you have basic tutorials on how to use it, or if I’m trying to use blender in the way demonstrated I should just follow your video. I really liked it

This is a simple and effective tutorial! Looking forward to the more advanced tutorials. Also, can you do the compositing in Blender instead of AE? Thank you!

I Love The Video.

Thank you.. also with 0000 or 000 .. check " / or \ " in the path because it, unexpectedly has an effect

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Do you know if It ok to use Earth Studio for the opening real estate videos?

When Will You Be Creating Video Of How To Add Water And Reflection On Google Earth Studio

Hi can you give a tip to remove the black background and overlay in Earth video in blender?

Can you import the landscape or reality enviroment in google earth to Blender?

still waiting for second tutorial on advance techniques

I love can't wait to get my hands dirty

The script seems to align the coordinate system within blender with the one of the earth. Is it possible to put the cs in blender at an angle of for example 45 degrees in relation to the earth’s cs? I really appreciate the work that went into the script, the tutorial and the fact that you are actively helping & troubleshooting in the comments. Props!

Last last compositing step could have been done in Blender also. Not sure why it was done in After Effects.

How does one get guaranteed access to GE Studio? I've requested but nothing yet.

I am looking for the second part!

Hey! When does the path animation Video release for Blender? Thanks for your tutorials!

Looks superb. After importing (without error) all I see in camera view is a cyan coloured 16:9 block where the image should be. Otherwise camera pans exactly as it does in earth studio. What am I doing wrong?

Hello! I had a problem when rendering. When I look the track points in the viewport, they are in the right place, but when rendering and opening them on Davinci to compose, movement of the rendered object is wrong. I do not know if it could be something happening in the blender project. If you have any clue or know how to solve it, it would be great. Thank you!

Please make indept tutoriel that how to export file in blender with track point

Someone has to somehow put this into X-Plane-11.

What If You Have Mac Do You Need To Change More Than Line 9 And Line 20 ? And Also I Have More Than Picture 000 So Do I Choose The First Picture In That Folder Or The Last Picture

The error that many are having with "Python script failed ..." is because it is necessary to have a camera on the scene for the script to generate the GES_WORLD file. Create any camera that should work.

can you suggest any workflow how we can do the reverse --- that means a texture 3d mesh model can be placed in google earth, say statue of liberty mesh 3d with texture is made in blender and will be placed in google earth

Finally - It Worked I named my Folder as your Script "D:/Local/Project/sydney/sydney/footage/sydney_000.jpeg" Name the Folder exactly the script it will work This was finally worked

PS. For the Shadow Catcher simply select the plane you wish to use to display the shadow, navigate to Object Properties, open the Visibility Options and select "Shadow Catcher" to activate it.

Thanks for the tutorial, but I couldn't make it happen. It keeps highlighting line 12 - cam.data.show_background_images = True. Red the comments and I'm 100% sure the names are correct, tried many times, many folders inclusinf the same names as the example, still didn't work.

Hi there, thanks for the video. Is there any way to import it in 3ds Max? Thanks

In the path in the script do I replace local with desktop since I have it saved in a folder on my desktop ? and why to you have sydney in the path three times ?

Any update on realistic water reflections tutorial?

How can I now make the blender vid an mp4 without using after effects?

I can't for the life of me get this script to run. Do we have to save it to a certain place? I swear I choose the correct path where I saved it. Just.. cannot get passed it. Do we have to do exactly what you did in the video? same amount of camera points, etc.. all that?

how do you do if you want to add a 3d figure in scale? For example want to add a 3d cube of 21.83m, in scale with the google earth import I added to Blender.

The x,y, z coordinates of the target origin are not parallel and perpendicular respectively. Is there some way in the script to insure the x,y,z coordinates import correctly?

Hi is this importing it as 3d models or more of 3d video?

I can't seem to get the grids to appear when looking at the video, so it's hard for me to position my 3D objects... anyone know how I can display that Cartesian grid?

Not working tried almost 15 times,,,, added track points / correctly updated the file location didn't work for me

Why not render direct all directly from Blender?

How can I open the video without after effects or blender?

Im currently using Blender 2.90.1 and I keep getting the Python Script Failed. Im going to try the version of Blender you are using in the tutorial in hopes that would fix my issue

Earth studio sometimes changes the focal length when it moves from one point to another. Is that information also carried over?

I'm running Windows 10, but the file directory uses backslashes instead of slashes, so I get an error when running the script. Is there a way around this? Thanks

Any option to Render Video and animation both together? or I can export the final with image sequence

You know that he knows what he's doing because he deleted the cube! =P

I have a question, how can I extract data into Blender from Google Earth Pro? Not Web. Because Middle Eastern buildings only appear on PC version of Google Earth. In Web version there are only flat areas in the desert, nothing else. But I felt like I have to extract them for my project, really. So, if you have any knowledge, what's the way to extract those 3d Middle East buildings to Blender?

Hi Great video! but i get a error message at code 12? cam.data.show_background_images = True

I get an error at line 12 cam.data.show_background_images = True, but console doesn't show anything (running Blender 2.83 and OSX 10.14 Mojave)

OK

some error on: 142 cam.parent = ges_parent python script failed

Man... I've got Phyton script failed message, what would i do to correct this in blender 2.9, plsease help

Hi, I've got this working in some tests, but I keep getting this odd thing where the blender camera shakes as the footage plays, like the tracking data is messed up or something....

Hello! In my case i´m getting a message error directing me to line 11 of the Script :"img = bpy.data.movieclips.load(ifiles)" Can you help me?

What am I doing wrong? I always get this message(Python script failed,check the message in the system console). Nevertheless, thanks for the eloquent tutorial

Hi, I've got an error in line 53... Traceback (most recent call last): File "\Text", line 53, in KeyError: 'relative' Error: Python script failed, check the message in the system console Any idea what could be the problem?

i have error in line -11 img = bpy.data.movieclips.load (ifiles)

My directory paths are correct but I keep getting an error on Line 11: img = bpy.data.movieclips.load(ifiles). Did this happen to anybody else?

Alright, does anyone else have an error in the line ''img = bpy.data.movieclips.load(ifiles)'' I made the two changes, filled in the path for my image file and JSON but somehow I get an error on this line, any idea? Thanks

I like how Google over saturates the 3d photogrammetry like what's the point? is google earth's photogrammetry aimed at 5 year olds so they had to over saturate it

The script doesn't seem to import field of view / lens length from the GES camera, is that correct?

i had many python error with your code like "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'data'". can you fix this?

Hello... thanks for this video... and I have a strange problem for that. As you introduced, I used your script and loaded JSON data in Blender(2.82a). MY GES video includes 7 track points and it exists in blender as well. But... the problem is that when key frames goes, the track points are moving! not fixed as track points.... why it happens...??? do you know? hmmm.... so strange.. can you guess? In After Effects, the track points are working well(JSX file)... I reviewed in detail your script code, so I have two supposition for the error.. please let me know the solution. 1) in the end part of your script, there is "# camera "lens" based on 20 degree Filed of View (default value)" I changed the value of camera "lens" from 20 degree to 37 degree in my GES video. Is your script working only in 20 degree?? is it possible to use different degree by changing your code? 2) For this GES video, I am using 1320 X 1080 px. But... in the blender view, the loaded JSON video data looks having longer width. Could it be problem? Is this script only working in 1920 X 1080 px? I didn't find any code in your script related with resolution(px).

How can I convert google earth coordinates to blender coordinates ?
