Google Maps 3D: 2025 Update

Описание: In this video we look at how to import Google Maps 3D data into Blender in 2025 using an old version of Chrome.

You can find the version of Google Chrome Portable I use in the guide here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/port...

Here is the string you need to put into the Shortcut Target (you will need to modify this to include the location of your GoogleChromePortable.exe):

C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET RENDERDOC_HOOK_EGL=0 && START "" ^"C:\Users\PutYourUsernameHere\Downloads\GoogleChromePortable64\GoogleChromePortable.exe^" --disable-gpu-sandbox --gpu-startup-dialog --disable_direct_composition=1"

You can find version 1.31 of RenderDoc for Windows 64 bit here:
https://renderdoc.org/stable/1.31/Ren...

You can download Blender here:

You can download the MapsModelImporter addon here:
