A Blender add-on that imports 3D models of buildings and terrain captured from Google Maps (and Google Earth, Mapy CZ) by recording WebGL GPU data with RenderDoc. It reconstructs photogrammetry-like meshes from those captures inside Blender.

Use cases

• import google maps 3d buildings into blender
• extract 3d city models from google earth
• capture webgl 3d data with renderdoc and import to blender
• get real-world building meshes for game environments
• create 3d flyover scenes from google maps data

When to choose

• you need real-world 3D building/terrain geometry in Blender without doing photogrammetry
• you want to capture Google Maps, Google Earth, or Mapy CZ 3D data via RenderDoc
• you work on Windows with Chrome and can follow the GPU injection workflow

When to avoid

• you need a legal or ToS-compliant way to obtain map 3D data
• you are on Linux/macOS or cannot use RenderDoc process injection with Chrome
• you need up-to-date, high-fidelity meshes rather than proof-of-concept quality captures
