- This video tutorial guides you on how to import Google Maps models into Blender using RenderDoc.
Renderdoc:
renderdoc.org/builds
Blender MapsModelsImporter addon:
github.com/eliemichel/MapsMod...
Commands:
Windows + R: cmd
set RENDERDOC_HOOK_EGL=0 && "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-gpu-sandbox --gpu-startup-dialog
Shift + Insert to paste. - เกม
I had some issues in the beginning but this combination of versions of the tools worked for me:
Maps Models Importer v0.6.2 + Blender 3.5 + RenderDoc v1.19
Thanks for commenting! I'll pin this comment to the top if anyone has the same problem.
It worked for me when I used renderdoc 1.19, blender 3.3 and latest Google Chrome. Newer versions didn't work. Surprising.
I can confirm v0.6.2 + Blender 3.5 + RenderDoc v1.19 still works on 22 December 2023

Hello to all my friends, since implementation of this issue is very important for me, I have long tried all possible methods and used most versions of all related programs, I even tried several browsers based on Chrome and Microsoft Edge, and I reviewed all the comments of dear friends and tried any path that can be tried, like closing all pages Browser in Task Manager, or as the Import Manager in Renderdoc, and other methods and details...
But in the end, I couldn't connect my browser for the GPU, and when the code and the white screen were running, I would first go through the rendering process before registering OK option, and after setting and hitting OK in the code-specific window, everything would be fine for a moment, and at the top of my browser I could see the executable code, but immediately another code would come up for me, and it would seem like a page Before closing and I go through the step again and again it is fixed for a second and it closes again and automatically comes another code, and these steps are repeated up to 5 times, and the last time I enter code into the renderdoc and I click OK in the special code window no longer appears, but in my browser I can't find that code and code address in the top left The browser should be displayed no longer and in the rendering program the options side setting time and frame are closed, and only numbers can be entered, but can not click on the opposite and side options to start rendering.

This is fantastic, this morning I rendered the neighborhood I lived in when I was a teenager. Spent all day wandering around all the old haunts and catching up with my old schoolmates! Be warned, though, you might want to find an old skin of yourself to wear depending on where you spawn otherwise you might not be recognized by the locals and they can be surprisingly violent. Also, be aware that just because you can't see beyond the blur screens, those hidden behind them can see out. In most places it won't matter, but some are blurring black-op sights and I don't think I need to tell you that you don't want to be smeared by those people.
YOU.... are a fucking KING. Been seeing stuff like this for literally months and yours actually works. Thank you!
Bloody brilliant! Exactly what I was after, thank you so much!!!
I was just watching this up the other week! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching! :)
By ensuring I downloaded the exact versions of everything you said, I was able to follow this flawlessly. I still have no idea what I'm really doing but hopefully I will be able to print a 3d model of my neighborhood- super cool, obrigado!
Did you have any luck?? Im trying to 3d print too, but have struggled with the slicer software, thinks the model is full of errors.
@@ecdb__ I got the STL but I haven't found the time to load it into my preferred SLA slicer (chitubox).
THANKS! This worked for me! It took some time to figure out how to get the injection into Chrome to work - I found that anytime you have TH-cam open, it will fail. So I killed all of my Chrome processes and tried it with success. I'm using the latest Blender (3.6) and RenderDoc 1.26.
bro its not workin i tried
is there any other tip
@arbes How do you capture a larger map area in render doc. When I do it it only captures a small footprint of the map. In the video , your capture seems to be a lot more. can you provide any tips regarding this, please?
I’ve been talking about doing this for years, and now it’s a real thing. This is fucking crazy. I literally used to tell people “ how could would it be to use Google maps and have a program to 3d render it “ and NOW ITS A REALITY ?!? Wild dude wild.
Google takes our data we take their data. Simple, fair and honest deal :)
Just the thing I've been talking about since Monday, and its Tuesday! Haha - thank for all the explanation, now even my grands can do that :)
Thanks! :)

@@ARBESProductions obrigado :D
Doesn't work I keep clicking Inject and it keeps giving me new iD's to input
Same! How to solve this?
Same
Hello Arbes, I want to start by saying that I really enjoyed your tutorial. However, I've run into a bit of a problem. Everything was going smoothly up to the injection point, and I even saw the stats bar on the top left side of Chrome. But here's the issue: when I try to inject it into the GPU process, it briefly shows a 'connecting' or 'trying to connect' page and then quickly returns to the injecting page. I've tried using versions 1.13, 1.28, 1.26 and 1.16 of RenderDoc, but unfortunately, none of them seem to work. I'd greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you might have!
Ficou muito bom. Parabéns
Would you be able to import multiple captures? Like if I wanted a larger area but also high quality can I capture them separately close up then import both and allign them? Which brings me to the next question because of course there will be overlap, is the model completely editable so you can cut/remove the individual Google Earth tiles to line the 2 models up properly? Or even go as far as deleting specifically a building to replace it with another? Looks insanely cool.
Bump
no meu computador, tive que desabilitar a função do chrome em que sempre que abro ele abre as abas que estavam abertas antes de fechar o navegador. tambem descobri que não pode ver o youtube enquanto faz o tutorial, sugiro que abra outro navegador para vizualizar o tutorial enquanto o faz no goocle chrome.
Or you can simply create a Batch file for running that command line string. And simply doubleclick it and run it. Open Notepad -> paste string into notepad and save -> close file -> change extension from txt to bat -> run it by double clicking just like any other app
SUPER!
Why gpu is keep changing and renderdoc back to inject process? Pls help me it's important for me to do in project?
This is a game changer, *Thanks!*
hi what combination of versions are you using? what blender version and what version of render doc?? thanks!! just trying yo figure out and you are the newest comment lol
Well, I got it to work now. I had to down grade my blender to 3.5
Does it work with places that do not have 3d view on google earth?
amazing
The google chrome pid number was injected into the inject into process, why does it come back to the same command as before? What is this poblem...plz answer me..
How would I know it the models in the process of being imported, since you said wait a few minutes?
After inject renderdoc works but chrome remains blanc here so what is going wrong? cant even open another window in chrome
thaaaank you
With the new google maps tiles API, this should get easier. I can see a few tutorials for unity and unreal. Would be great if you make one for blender. Thank You
Hey! Thanks for the sugestion. I'm a bit busy at the moment but as soon as I have some time I'll take a look and record a tutorial.
Thanks a lot! :)
Does anyone know why when I export the file, RGB data is not provided by the scan of Google Maps, but if I were to use any scanning software the colours are there?
My capture buttons are greyed out. And Chrome gives a banner message "You are using an unsupported command-line flag: --disable-gpu-sandbox. Stability and security will suffer."
Is that a problem? Then I don't get the black dialog box in the upper left corner of Chrome. Any thoughts?
Have you found any fix for this issue? I am running into the same thing.
@@ThatStunnenDude not sure about the buttons, but the banner is nothing to worry about.
I don't get the data overlay at the top left when I inject.
Hi, I'm having problems to get the pid number from Chrome. The icon changes but I can still open chrome with no problems. I dont get the white screen and I don't see the window with Gpu starting with pid:..... what should I do. Thank you in advance.🙏🙏
I have the same problem
what do you mean paste + insert ? so i copy it first then paste ? orr? i didnt work
Once i click "ok" in the window with the number. RenderDoc return to the root view and basically I can't go with next step. I tyried different version of RenderDoc but nothing seems to work. Any clues?
It happened to me as well, I downloaded the version 1.26 and it worked. Before I was using the latest 1.31
It works for me but at Blender it is not working well. When I import the .rdc file it is imported but looks like a low poly mesh and i have only one mesh.
1:12 My Blender doesn't show the import map option 🫤.
im facing a issue after importing the file it took 1 min and gave me a tarain or like that map texture on a plane Plzz help me out
what about mac users? I couldn't find a download version of Renderdoc for mac
hi!!i did everything but when i import the file it is flat!! do you know what might be wrong?? thank you!!
Excellent tutorial, thank you very much.
I have a question, how could I scale the models obtained in Blender to real scale?
هل هذا مدفوع
sir plzz help me , i have entered the render doc code in cmd but its only opening the chrome but not showing the tab "gpu starting with pid" plzz help me sir n reply me
I stopped at the step of typing in cmd, chrome did not display the same as you, just opened chrome as usual. Can you help me fix this error?
What Blender Reference needs to be Imported? I tried every single one but it doesnt work
Mang I been looking for someway to do this on mac, no renderdoc available :(
any alternative methods other than renderdoc that retain quality?
Unfortunately I'm not aware of any similar tool to MacOS :(. However, I saw that there's a new way of doing the streaming from the meshes directly in Blender with the new Google Maps API. I haven't tried it yet but seems promising.
what version of chrome are you using plzzzzzz ???
Hey! My Chrome window doesn't pop up in the debug (The codes up left of the window) mode! Any suggestion?
Close Chrome and let the cmd open the tab
Can you download an entire city this way?
damn, don't see the Inject option in latest version 1.31, older 1.26 like you suggested, or even much older 1.13
Hi,do you know why the model maybe miss some ground floor model?
Hey there!
I can only think of two possible reasons:
1) You didn't wait enough time to properly fetch the models or didn't "wiggle the screen" enough when capturing, or;
2) The scanned region is simply bad. The scans have a pretty bad topology and it's not surprising at all to think this could be the issue. There's nothing to do except remodeling or finding another source for the scans.
Hi, anyone has idea how to remove (detach) part of the model in blender without effecting the rest part of model. The season I am asking is because we need to remove subject development site and replace with 3D development design model. We have difficulty removing part of blender model (import from 3d google map) without effecting other part (will remove other model and texture map). Anyone has good workaround for this? Thank you very much in advance!
Can it be used on Android smartphones?
I am having a problem where it says "Vulkan (not presenting)", and I cant see a Debug overlay when starting Chrome trough the command.
This is pretty weird. Were you able to solve it?
I would recommend closing EVERYTHING except the tools necessary for the process (RenderDoc and the opened with the flag browser). I saw somewhere that if any process is using Vulkan this could cause this issue you are encountering.
the number with PID is popping again and again with different number each time...............
is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. What is This??
Hey after copying and pesting the code into the command prompt it is opening normal chrome window with the code instead of white window!!!
Same as here!
if the code isn't showing up, go to task manager and then end process on all chrome processes. When you enter the code, the code should show up (Worked for me)
Hey! I get this error “RenderDoc injection failed: Failed to inject renderdoc.dll into process”. Can anyone help me fix this?
It happened to me when I was opening it in admin mode. Works fine if I open renderdoc in normal mode
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
i dont see dis on the top left no matter what i do, send help?
For those who have error in the injection using RenderDoc. You have to "run as administrator". Because if you do not do so, the program can not create the dll file in your program file.
when i inject into the program and click ok on the pop up box it just comees up with a new code?
When I open Google Earth, the Chrome GPU process ID pops up again, preventing the process attachment. I think they patched it because Google will release their own plugin. It was working for me a few weeks ago.
Hey!
I was having the same issue using RenderDoc 1.27. Try with some older version and try restarting the computer after installing it. I saw some people recommending the version 1.1.
@@ARBESProductions thank you, this fixed the issue
Could u please make an ironman nano suitup on actual human mesh
so this is pretty cool but im guessing you are limited to the last google maps update. For example I tryed to fake a drone scene using this method but when I looked up for the area I needed, it last update on maps was like 5 years ago lol. So it didnt work for me only because of that reason.
Yeah. Unfortunately, you are limited by the scans Google Maps provide.
However, if you have a drone and the area of interest isn't that big you can do a scan yourself and it will look much better than Google's (after all, you have a closer camera than a satellite). Thanks for commenting! 😄
The number dont appears for me
Doesn't work here. Every time I inject the PID number it seems things are good but then when I click OK on the small pop up with the pid# to remember thereafter....in RenderDoc it switches and says in red NOTE: Injecting only works when the process has not used the target API. Also, there is no D3D info displaying in upper left of chrome so guess it actually isn't working even before clicking ok on the small initial popup???
I get the same result on Blender 3.4, 3.5 and versions 1.1 1.19-1.26 of Renderdoc. Should I not have any browser open when injecting?? Have spent several hours trying to resolve this but just can't seem to get it to work 😞
Hey! Sorry to hear it's not working for you. :(
I didn't encounter these issues when I was testing but I know some people have reported problems with some versions of Google Chrome.
I would recommend a few things, though:
1) Try to restart the computer after installing RenderDoc and doing the process again. It's absolutely crucial that you don't press Ok as soon as you start the browser using the command and you must inject it into the correct process (id with the pid). RenderDoc does its magic before the graphics API is initialized, so if for some reason it's being initialized at the wrong moment it will not work. I just tried here with another browser opened and I had no issues.
2) Try changing the location for another Chromium-based browser. I heard Vivaldi worked with some people but the overlay on the top left is white instead of black (just a small visual glitch).
3) Retry using version 1.1 of RenderDoc. For some reason, people succeed with newer versions but some don't.
Good luck! If you manage to solve this in any way, share the solution with us here. Someone may have the same problem later and it will be helpful :)
Also, try opening your task manager and closing everything Chrome related before trying the process. Someone pointed this out in Stack Overflow and it seems like a good idea!
@@ARBESProductions getting the same thing. I have done this before with success. one difference I noticed: now the chrome window loads empty page graphics behind the PID window popup, signaling to me that the API isn't waiting like it's supposed to
also tried installing an earlier version of chrome, same issue. so maybe it is a change in windows that broke it
thanks so much!
Thanks for your comment! :)
not working for me i m not getting that no in google chrome
Everything was going fine until I tried to import the file to Blender. The option to import is there, but somehow the model doesn't load in any way. I have tried several versions of each software and no luck. Any ideas?
Same problem, no clue.
@@Toulippy any solution?
Hi, the Maps models importer link doesn't work. can you help me?
Hey there!
I just tested the link and it's working when you click it. However, you can easily find the same GitHub repository by searching "eliemichel/MapsModelsImporter" on Google. It's the first result.
Hey! It opens a new chrome tab when I run the command I'm not getting the gpu code please help!
try updating to the latest Chrome version
Same issue here! Did you find any solution?
your command is not working it is showing in the chrome unsupported command line.i am currently usinng the latest version of chrome
Even though it shows that (mine also shows the same) it's supposed to work. Try checking if you are still able to Inject using RenderDoc. I was unable to inject before and the issue was RenderDoc so I had to downgrade it to 1.26.
You can also try another Chromium-based browser on the path. Some people apparently used Edge successfully.
When I paste the command in my cmd my chrome dosen't turn white. It's just pops up like a normal chrome for me. I get the code and everything, but I don't know how to get the white screen😄some help please?
I have the same issue!
I solve the problem, just need to close all chrome pages then try again
I did not receive a code i dont know why
What happen if I click "ok"?😢
Where is the option button 2:46
I think this no longer works. I've tried many versions of all of these programs and the capture is ALWAYS grayed on the renderdocs
me too.
Anyone know a Linux set of instructions?
After saveing RDC file its not import into blender. Please help
Hey!
Did it throw any errors? Before you saved the RDC did you check the color passes? If the drawn calls are not captured by RenderDoc this can happen.
Having same issue. Tried importing in 3.4.1 and it pretends I did nothing. It highlights where the mouse is, I can rotate and the rdc is like ignored. Same for 3.6.0. Now I'm waiting an hour for 3.5.0 to download and try that version...
I have the same issue. The file seems to have saved correctly with the color passes. But when I go to load it, it doesn't do anything. No errors, or any indication it's loading. Leaving it for 20m did not work. I have a good computer for this, so it shouldn't take too long. Just a FYI. I doubt there is much you can do. Thanks for the tutorial!
it is blocked by windows defender look for a popup ...something ....something .py ist blocked i guess its the file location if you allow it, it works but with low poly no usable any idea why?
I can't import in blender :( new and old both version :(
If you can't capture it then don't forget to click "Capture After Delay" button. after typing 2 secs.

hard but good
So, only on Windows then!?
