What??! Creating 3D Buildings is THIS EASY 

woah..these building models are much better than i expected them to be...sheeesh!

Thank you so much for this video! I purchased the addon last month after eyeing it for over a year, but the setup documentation was overwhelming. I appreciate your help with the install process tremendously!

There is no way you can make buildings as good as that with one addon!!?? This is literally saved me!

I can't believe how good your production quality has gotten... I've been watching you for years!

Previously, I used another well-known method with third-party software, an extension in Chrome and an addon in Blender. The old method was more cumbersome and complex than the new method described in the video. Thank you very much for sharing this useful guide!

Awesome tool! But why nobody tells about licensing? Because every time you have watched the video, you're surprised and excited, you download and use everything was described, you're ready to show your creation to the world and get a chance to have some popularity and bucks, but while it's rendering, you are reading the EULA and then... "You are restricted to publish and/or sell the product created with this blah-blah-blah". Would be great, if amazing people like you, who are searching for and finding this gems and share it with us, also tells not only "how", but also "where" we can use this. Do not get this as criticism in any way, I really enjoy your work and channel and just subscribed finally :) I just wondered why most of the RU-vidrs don't tell anything about this important thing

that look amazing !! Thanks for sharing 👍👍

Saved this one to my Blender Tutorials playlist, for sure! I'll forget the info if I don't come back to it.

This is exciting. I remember the older video and kept that in the back of my mind. This vid bumped that up in the priority list (mental list).

Thanks ! Excellent...just what I was looking for !

Thank you! Your videos r awesome🤸‍♂️

this is so helpful，great work!

Really good. I was using the RenderDocs workaround before and it was so hard to get even a small scene.

Awesome! Thanks Steve.

That's so cool man!

you know ... I purchased this addon in 2017 while I was using 3ds max , as 3ds max was lacking too much of capabilities (still and slow 😀) but blender back then was not that good option for archviz at least , now I can't turn back to 3ds max since blender 2.81 , and this update is fire ! thank you for informing us through your great videos , you were the first channel to make me endorse into blender since the photogrametry video

i feel like 3d is going to be in the future not easy but more oppertunities for us artists, as a small creator i found this amazing!

Nice to see you back nice 😊

Oh man you are incredible ❤

This tutorial helped me a lot for my university project. Thanks.

CityEngine software is really good if you need to create cities that do not exists or like old cities. many governments are using it to replicate their cities and work on it as it can be linked to many other software to maybe do traffic simultaion.

amazing tutorial

Excellent tut. Thanks.

I used this for a recent commision but did not know about the custom texture thing! WOW!!!

Awesome, Thanks!

Interesting add on. Thanks for showing it

Cool, dude! Thanks for the tutorial 😀

WoW, that's pretty cool. Thanks for showing us. I wonder what would take to build 3D map inside a building e.g like airport or shopping mall

thanks :) its a nice tutorial

hi im a new subcriber of your channel i want to be you a Vfx artist here in the philippines i would love to learn more with your videos i would love to watch your incoming new videos. please keep uploading thank you. someday my pc could create like that without lagging. having a pc could create like that is a dream come true. keep uploading more videos

Amazing 🤩🤩

Wow that's fantastic

Thanks for videos

Great video ❤

You're The Best

great video thx!

OK I suscribed! But only because you're awesome! Not because you told me to ;)

Great for populating terrain generator mountains.

perfect

Love it.

you gotta follower for life just from the no sponsors part haha

nice i will try it

super cool

No,Ian hubert is harmed in this video

wow great tuto, thank you, i wonder if we can use it in STL for 3d print?

Yes! I've been thinking about this and how to export OSM data and import in blender, but suddenly you tell me there's a plugin! This is awesome, thank you!

Thank you very much for this video. Is it possible to edit the image texture file?

Really Good. How do I export it to a 3d viewer and get the colors and everything.

Thanks

is there a way to fix the geometry of the buildings? (Make wonky lines straight)

For me CG is the best blender teacher ❤❤

Works brilliantly. Disappointingly, the 3D models for the place where I live are super low-res. and years out of date.

Hi I am a motion graphic student and I want to get into 3d blender work , is there any tips? Is it hard as it looks a little overwhelming.Thanks.

Seen this in musicvideos imma start using it

AWESOME INDEED... GREAT SWIFT VID THOUGH

Yes! TY. TY.

this is PERFECT for scene layout...im definitely gonna use it lol

Good!

Great tutorial as usual. Can you make detailed tutorial on blender drivers?

Worked perfectly, thank you. Ran into an issue along the way with error 403, if you need a fix, its down below Error 403: My problem was that my Map Tiles api wasn't enabled on the google platform even though I thought it was. After enabling and making sure it was indeed on, it worked. Try restarting blender after re-enabling the api if the issue continues

Is there an easy way just to check if the lower populated city that i want to use has a 3d scan?

Turns out i've been subbed for yrs just didn't have my notification bell on 😅

suppppper helpful video thanks for sharing

Plz tell me system config. To use UE for game development

woahh!! how big are your screens now?

random question, do u accept modeling suggestions? i am just starting out on modeling and trying to learn the basics by modeling minor things of what i love 1st

What's the add on for then open street map

I noticed that you dont have a video on gaussian splats. Is it too soon you think?

Duuuuuude!!!!! Thank youuuuuuu!!!!!!!

Imagiscope Tech Earth Modeler addon will make it really much easier, I just hope soon!

Once you render these can you export out an image large enough to print on a t-shirt?

This is great! The quality is awesome. But i can't get it to work in any other software with textures. The materials go crazy. I've tried fbx, obj, usdc.... Is there any way to export the models with the textures? Does anybody know? That would be great!

A valid directory for data in the addon preferences isn't set how can l fix this

You mentioned Mac, if I remember correctly this plug-in used to be Windows only. Is it now available for Mac as well? And what about Unix?

Hey I just started using blender and I’m overwhelmed how fast you use different keys and actions in it. I know it’s a lot I ask for but could you please do a detailed version of the video I think I wouldn’t be the only one who would love to do this myself but it’s just too difficult. Thanks 🙏

I bought the add-on and followed your tutorial exactly. I selected a small area of Washington DC (around the white house) and while the image overlay is correct, the model is mostly flat, just lumps where there are buildings. Is this because DC has not been 3D scanned? I feel like I wasted my money.

that is amazing addon, but it can export the model and texture with FBX?

super cool. does anyone know if there is something similar for 3dsMax?

hello friend, could you tell me how I could bring together all these materials in a single image like an overlay in order to switch the map into assetto more easily than having to import more than a thousand materials

Nice

Is there a way to do this with Medieval buildings?? or a fantasy setting??

Damn, I’ve Been waiting for several days for the intire world to import...

it reminds me of an opening scene from i am legend☺

I imported data from a capital city and it worked perfectly, I wanted to try it for my medium size city and it imported a 2 dimensional object, without height. Is this just a coincidence and I made another mistake, or is it that Google doesnt have detailed data for non popular places?

could u use it in blender v 4

Depend for some location this do not work, example, Yosemite National Park, the app is not able to load the map (try with Belber 3.6, 4.0 and 4.1)

5:51 what do you mean period key on number pad?

Would this still work even if the city I was copying didn’t have 3D view on google earth like Moscow or Beijing

I try it for my city and it just gives me a flat plane with top view images from google maps. What am I doing wrong? :)

Any way to do it without a payment method?

I got this error when I clicked import (unable to process the root URI of the 3D tiles HTTP 403 forbidden error). Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks!

I remember following the old video and trying to do that for Paris... somehow I messed it up horribly and had nothing aside from broken roads and about 5 buildings in the area I had selected lol... might try doing this again.

any advice for when it says "Unable to process the root URI of the 3D tiles: HTTP error 403: Forbidden" when trying to import the 3D Tiles. I've tried everything but it won't import

When I have select the place I want and import to blender it show me flat and not in 3D. Why ? Please tell me what to do

its beautiful, but from far far way... someone does a scene with this add-on? curious to see

How to export in 3ds max with textures?

Can we vote yes for you and your videos, but no on the mustache? Can we be both? 😂 I feel like you just pulled me over. ❤❤

I followed the steps, but wasn't able to convert the materials, any tips?

open street maps is not importing the buildings.... uh what do I do?

Anyone else having issues (i.e. nothing happens) when clicking on the "Show selection rectangle" button in the map area selection page?
