Igloos are found in Northern Canada. Antarctica is too cold for life to thrive outside of specialty research stations. (All of which we already built, actually, go watch the video) What I’m saying is you don’t exist. Stop lying to yourself.
@@brodoxlwhile this would normally be a true correction, I was offended by your condescension and personally traveled to Antarctica to build the first antarctic igloo.
since the project is so popular, it's not that hard to just get some locals to send pictures that might help out I mean something is better than nothing
I, for one, would be more than willing to work as a scout for my local area, as it is rural and most of the street view imagery is either way out of date or non-existent.
I live in a small, private neighborhood in a third world country. Satellite imagery and street view are as close to non existent as it gets. It is my job to send pictures of it to the server as well as build some of the houses myself. I am the only person with access to this place and with knowledge of BTE’s existence.
As someone from Iraq, yes we can't because the internet here is trash. (Like, having 10 mbps internet is considered "good" here, and it costs like 40 bucks a month)
Saying "even big places like India" right after mentioning Africa is just funny to me. It's like saying "Squirrils, Blue whales, and even big animals like kangaroos"
I live in Córdoba (the one from Argentina, not Spain) and it is kinda funny because half the city has 3D and the other half almost totally lacks 3D. Even my neighborhood has 3D (kinda outdated because my house was built after the available images, but not an issue), but the center is totally plain despite being the most densely populated part of the city.
Nunca van a hacer este pago en maincra. La última vez que me fijé Argentina tenía como 6 construcciones. Al comienzo del video dice que hicieron un barrio de BsAs así que podés proponer qe hagan el centro o algun barrio de los costados como marechal o san vicente
@pippenFTS What can help you a lot with Russia - most bulidings in the Soviet Union were standard. Not just panel houses, but also individual houses in villages (they're normally about 5*5 or 6*6 m log or brick main + a rectangular addition). If you see a small cottage in 2D - that's it. It means that you need to indentify standard bulidings - and then copypaste them into their places in 2D map. The rest are either landmarks photographed every year from several angles and easy to find, or big private houses (go ~ 300 sq m and brick, add a tall fence. No one cares), or something secret you'd better just replace with some trees than figure out. The further away from city/town centres - the more standardized bulidings, it's not architecture, it's rectangle boxes. With any industrial object except for a pipe, bulid concrete rectangle and you're done. Russian trees are 30 m tall. Minecraft tall spruce does the thing. You also need a similar sized tall thin birch. Look for USSR Gebshtab maps. They have the terrain.
@@tsuwaque do you know anything about Soviet standard architecture? The SU literally mass-produced bulidings of all kind with civil engineering dominating over architecture. It's like cars. You identify the buliding as series П-44 or II-49 - and you have the exact data on its looks, size, and construction and also insides. Because they're like cars, you see a rectangle on the map, you open street view, you see it's a Volkswagen Hippiebus in coordinates (x,y), you bulid one, copy, paste, and now you've bulit them all. There are about 1500 of П-44 alone, and they aren't the most mass-produced series of houses.
@@tsuwaque all the bulidings in post-soviet union are basically: 1) standard soviet blocks. Over the half of Russians live in those. 2) architecture landmark that survived history by pure luck, is listed architecture and is shown to tourists who make hundreds of photos and post online. The biggest architecture landmark is center of Saint Petersburg, it's probably a hassle to bulid without a 3D model, but I'd probably search for it. There's an existing physical layout model of all the XVIII century bulidings at least. And it's also very photographed. 3) village house. They're wooden. Standard Russian logs are 6 m long. 4) new rich house. If no photos - go Bricks, 300-500 sq m, 3-5 m tall untransparent fence, a big dog. The only place where there may be problems is north-west Sochi (the opposite to the Olympic village). It's heavily brusselized after the Soviet era, so when in doubt - stick to Genshtab maps. Soviet military intelligence loved detailed maps.
There _is_ actually 3D map data for many of the larger cities in China on Baidu (essentially the Chinese equivalent of Google), and there's only going to be more and more of it as the tech giant is also developing self-driving cars and needs high-resolution 3d models to develop a navigation system. Don't know if the old SimCity-like 3d models are still there, though.
I live in a city that doesn't have a 3d scan yet has street view, but it's old. I can go around to the places we build and make a 3d scan of the buildings when I do have the time.
It's insane how the random clips in the video are literally some place in the earth that they're supposedly going to build one day. Also all the scary places where murders happened and etc. damnn
im excited for them to tackle el triangulo dorado (the golden triangle), which is a dangerous and mountainous area in mexico inbetween the states of Sinaloam Chihuahua, and Durango. Its super hard to navigate it for most but former Sinaloa Cartel capo Joaquin Archivaldo "El Chapo" Guzman Loera used it to hide out from the military due to the fact that helicopters could be spotted from miles away giving him time to flee, AND the fact that he knew it like the back of his hands and knew where to hide and where to run to. In this very moment its actually being used for the same purpose by the new head of the Sinaloa Cartel and also its co-founder along with Don Joaquin, his oldest companion, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada Garcia. Zambada is basically everything Chapo is but better and smarter. Mayo is probably the only man who knows the golden triangle like the back of his hand more than JGL, and he's definitely better at evading the law since he's never been arrested in his 40 years in power.
I am a big hiking enthusiast, one thing I think would be ultimately do-able for ppl would be to re-create in some capacity some of the greatest trails in the world. Of course it wouldn't be super detailed, but there is so much footage of things like the Appalachian Trail that I think it could be do-able. Imagine walking the entire AT in minecraft. Would be so cool.
Maybe you should try using the local aternatives to Google Maps for those countries, like Yandex for Russia, or Baidu for China, which *does* have 3D. For Russia though, Google had all the time in the world before the sanctions, and they were simply not interested in 3D mapping anything in Russia, plus their maps are usually minorly incorrect, when it comes to any non-western country.
Moscow has a little 3d tho. And yeah, if you look at Siberia, more exactly Yenisey river, you are most likely looking at 1990s, maybe even earlier. And if you look a bit more easte- oh, look, that's Lenin crossing the Lena river! Ah, how lovely!
@@scruffles3838 Don't forget how retarded Japanese business owners are. You can get sued for making fan projects that get even mildly popular. Not naming names obviously
@@scruffles3838 the pictures are theoretically illegal but recreation in minecraft isn't. Even if france itself were to battle you in court, they would lose because its a digital recreation, in a unique artstyle, hosted on american soil.
Are you aware of Baidu maps (China) and Yandex maps (Kazakhstan, Georgia, Belarus Russia, and more)? They have their own street view (albeit limited), and in certain cases (notably China, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia, and Belarus) it is the only way to get 360 street level panorama coverage of those areas (Google doesn't cover them).
Bte hometowns and btw midwest recently banded together to make a small town which had no street view or 3d... But managed to do so accurately thanks to bing maps and RU-vid videos of news coverage of a recent flooding of the area. The less data you have the more people will surprise you.
focus on the places that were already 3D mapped and hope that google and other companies make 3D models of places which don't have them by the time you are done with already existing 3D maps.
sir, if you did an channel for portuguese, spanish or other languages it would make the projet so muchb faster(mostly portuguese because as a brazilian i know how much determination we have and how much of our sanity we are willing to give up on just to do somenthig)
Maybe you can dig in some local services such as Yandex maps in Russia. They don't have colored 3d models at the time, but it seems that they are planning it.
0:55 "Going anywhere in the world, and finding your favourite place! :D" meanwhile, zooms in on the poorest slum in Argentina BTW, the slum is only officially called "Barrio mugica", but the real name is "Villa 31". Nobody calls it Barrio Mugica.
I feel like the best thing about the Earth in Minecraft is what games you can do once it's finished. Imagine after this is done, some youtuber like Ish makes a video of thousands of people replicating a world war using a copy of the finished map.
I am a builder in this project and I sorta see other builders that have loads of 3D data as overreacting to no 3D. I've built multiple buildings in Australia and New Zealand with no 3D and bad satellite quality.
One thing, when areas develop significantly over time but you made that area a couple years back how will you keep up dating the backlog and would you have to constantly check areas?
Use Microsoft flight simulator, lol Honestly, they have a lot of nice 3d models from different places, for example Russia. I'm not sure, if you can get the access to models, but you can at least see all the houses being not flat. Just use freecam
well technically speaking, the americas is the 3rd world continent but technically technically the earth is the 3rd from the sun so every country on the earth is a 3rd world country
Hey I got some good news for 3D view. Australia 🇦🇺 recently had more cities put into 3D view. Like Darwin, Hobart, Townsville, Wagga Wagga, Mildura, Geelong, & Launceston to name a few.
There was someone in the comments who suggested using Yandex Maps for Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan etc. This is a really good decision since Google Maps cover less of these countries than Yandex Maps. You should try!
I would love to follow your advice, but I ripped my pinky toenail off after getting injured. Really sucks that I can barely walk now, I'm like an old man lmao
If you want to use dark humor then Iraq is barely third world country as well. Before the wars Saddam started we had free healthcare, heavy industries including nuclear technology, social programs and women rights movements, a secular government... etc
Microsoft flight simulator 2020 has 3D models of every building from every country, although some may be terrible quality, they can provide more extra information than just 2D satellite data.
I haven’t followed this too closely, but I’m really interested to know, have you made Duluth yet? It’s a place in Minnesota that doesn’t even feel real it looks so cool
Imagine when we’re all done with the Minecraft world, we play it in vr with creative mods to make us go thousands of times faster, to revisit favorite places in minecraft, maybe even after, doing a multiplayer server.
I fucking love the fact im watching a minecraft video and i learn about google maps, i learn more from pippen than i do from school, genuinely, your content is so interesting and enjoyable
WHAT WOULD BE COOL IS IF YOU GUYS BUILT THE ENTIRE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN MINECRAFT. THAT MIGHT BE EASIER SAID THAN DONE. YOU GUYS MAKE SUCH AWW INSPIRING THINGS IN MINECRAFT KEEP IT UP.😁😁😁
I was trying t find an image of my friends old house for him, and the town was so small (pop of about 430) that there was no street views. The only street view if the edge of town taken in 2007.
Saying Street View in North Korea. There's one. A person named 'Aram Pan' from Singapore took 360 photos of North Korea. You can use that images to Build Pyongyang. Also for India, Street view is also here too, for example take Hyderabad, It still has Building issues but I think that it is easier to build than Mumbai.
I got a question, so are you guys building the world with a specific time period in mind? (Like 2020 or 2018) or is everyone doing it based on the google maps itself
I don't think anybody would be able to build where I live accurately. There is no google street view here and no 3d models. And I've been camping to some places and seen some not well known sites and state parks that I think wouldn't be buildable in Minecraft if you don't see it in person.
They are developing countries not third world countries. Third world countries is an obsolete classification in which countries aligned with the United States are called first world countries and second world countries aligned with the soviet Union. Third world countries were aligned with neither.
did you build a spheroid earth? or is it all flat? If it´s flat, how did you handle the displacement, that inevitably occurs when trying to wrap a sphere onto a flat surface?
