I don't know how you do it, but I can't, the chrome shortcut doesn't generate any code, I've been trying for an hour... I don't know if it's the code that I can't copy properly, but in any case if I copy the example code, it doesn't work for me. I'd appreciate some help. I'd used another procedure before, and this one seemed simpler.

[@simeon_vkv]

Props to Elie that we use this tool for free for years now. Amazing tool for concepts and more. Great video

[@knysya2773]

I don't seem to be able to launch my app for capture from qrenderdoc. When I click launch, I am presented with a dialog telling me about an error, and the process tab does not appear.

[@diegofernandez4789]

Thank you. Who knew it was so cumbersome but I'm glad I now know how to do it.

[@ArchVizArtist]

Yeees, it's a pain, but once you set it up once, it's not so complicated to do it second time ;)

[@harshavardhan885]

Nice information make work easy tanks arch....

[@ArchVizArtist]

Glad it helps :)

[@FramesAndTraces]

Thanks so much, I'm looking forward to trying this. Would this work just as well when trying to capture the topography of a mountain range?

How to remove the error that pops up in blender when loading capture? Error: Failed to load the RenderDoc Module

[@LorenzoDragotto]

Hi, thank you so much for your videos they are really fantastic! As far as you know, does it also work using Google Maps? Is there a way to increase the definition of the 3D mesh saved from maps? Thank you

[@satwantsinghwork]

brilliant, thank you!

You're welcome!

RenderDoc injection failed: Failed to inject renderdoc.dll into process. Check that the process did not crash or exit early in initialisation, e.g. if the working directory is incorrectly set. Do you have a solution for this error?

[@Artrich2020gbtg]

Hello. When I capture. It is a black square. What to do?

[@gab335]

Hi Aga! thanks for this, but Im having an issue. When i click inject, i get an error that couldnt inject... the diagnostic log says .Core 45784 12:10:43 win32_process.cpp(295) Error Couldn't allocate remote memory for DLL 'C:\Program Files\RenderDoc enderdoc.dll': 5 Core 45784 12:10:43 win32_process.cpp(327) Error Couldn't create toolhelp dump of modules in process 45720 Core 45784 12:10:43 win32_process.cpp(947) Error Can't locate renderdoc.dll in remote PID 45720 I have tried different renderdoc and blender versions, I have tried with edge instead of chrome, still same problem. If anyone has had this and solve it I would really appreciate if you could share how to do it. Thanks

Is such a 3D model well represented? And is it possible to print a 3D mock-up using it? I wonder about the smoothness of the building walls.

К сожалению render doc не всегда делает полноценный захват поверхности, приходится менять масштаб или положение камеры что бы он захватил всю сетку с гугла.

[@finno3677]

How is this not a standard function or at least plugin for all 3D and BIM programs…

Thanks for the trick

Everything works perfect for me until acually importing the my google model into blender. it gives me an error message. "Failed to load the RenderDoc Module".

Opening the Chrome shortcut, it just opens Chrome as normal, with no code. Has the process changed with a new version of Chrome or something?

Hey I have encountered a problem my Google Chrome doesn't work like yours

[@brwed]

this worked great but one issue is that im trying to make a detailed 3d print of a whole city so when i zoom out in google earth the lod goes down and so does the file i capture how would i be able to view a large area with it being the highest lod in google earth i fixed it... mostly ill have to splice it together with massive scans didnt realise google earth had settings

[@jachymruzicka3362]

Thanks a lot for your video. It seems really great, but for some reason, when I add C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET RENDERDOC_HOOK_EGL=0 && START "" ^" before and the second part after to the target path in properties of the Chrome shortcut, I can't open chrome and any GPU windows doesn't pop up. Can you help me with it, please? Many thanks again!

[@TheCbukowskiable]

Hello, no way it works. When i try to change the google Path from the shortcut nothing happen. I try everything. I think mainly the problem comes from the fact i don't have any google application in c\ Program File (x86) but i only have one in c\ Program .... So i can't try this manipulation without google chrome.. Super sad. I even try with google close.

[@arthemos4627]

this method is bugged, it worked one time on dozen of tries. wrong results, no opening, errors

[@mcbot1]

API says none and the capture frames button is greyed out. I dont get debug text in chrome at the top but I do see a message that says, "you are using an unsupported command-line flag: --disable-gpu - sandbox. Stability and security will suffer" I've triple checked that I dont have a typo in the chrome shortcut but thats the only thing I can think of. Any one run into this or have any ideas?

[@mcbot1]

Found it... I had graphics acceleration disabled in my chrome settings

[@floden6882]

Thank you a lot for your video. Where it was, when 1 month ago I serched videos on this theame, and I didnt find anything. But now, I know how to do that. Can I ask you where you from? Are you from Poland?

Yes, from Poland ;)

[@MostafaMohamed-vq9oi]

Thanks alot 😊

[@dominykasmetlevski1896]

After I inject into the process with the PID, Chrome will change the port every single time. I will inject it and the click ok on the chrome popup, but then immediately a new popup will appear with a new PID. If I do not try injecting the PID will stay the same, but I need to inject before I click ok otherwise this wont work. No matter what I do Chrome wont let me inject into the PID. Has anyone else had this issue?

[@dominykasmetlevski1896]

I also noticed Chrome has a message after opening saying the "--disable-gpu-sandbox" in the after code is an unsupported command line flag, and also that security and stability will suffer. Not sure though if that is something causing anything, or if it's just Google Chrome warning about you not using their default version.

[@a350-]

I also have this issue, could you solve it?

[@nani-dy5mt]

i have the same issue, any solution ?

[@dominykasmetlevski1896]

@@nani-dy5mt Yep I was able to fix it. Turns out the chrome shortcut code in the video must be old or faulty. Use the code provided in the git link for the blender plugin. It is the correct code.

[@nani-dy5mt]

@@dominykasmetlevski1896 worked ! Thank you so much

[@arashshaygani1966]

Can you just put the Chrome target code in the comments? I am not able to create it! (mine still opens a normal Chrome page!)

[@pablitowe]

Target code change every time you open chrome. The code is unique for every chrome instance

[@deepblue812]

I don't think he means the PID injection code but the Chrome shortcut edits to get it to wait for the code. I'm having the same issue where I can see the window pop up for a split second, then Chrome just launches anyway. @arashshaygani1966 edit - figured it out: Make sure *all* Chrome windows are closed, and *all* Chrome processes are ended. I closed all my browser windows but still have a bunch of Chrome processes running in the background (thanks Google). After I made sure all Chrome processes were gone opening the edited shortcut worked to bring up the PID.

Why blender is needed by 3ds max? Can't connect to goole earth from 3ds max. 3ds max developers don't see any effort

Blender- 1, 3 max paid monthly -0 😂😂😂😂

[@tinko8903]

Arch viz, you should stop pretending that your updates are new. The main thing you are talking about is 3ds max. If that is the case, why can't you connect directly to 3ds max? You have to send 3ds max after connecting it to blender. Also, the main thing I want to say is cosmos. Why don't you invent cosmos plants and people to do animation? .

[@user-jj1wd9ld8g]

When I create the shortcut and make the changes that were mentioned in the video, it just opens Google Chrome normally, did I do something wrong? Here is the code next to it: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET RENDERDOC_HOOK_EGL=0 && START "" ^"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe^" --disable-gpu-sandbox --gpu-startup-dialog"

[@Sergey29101]

same here

[@anatoliishokalo]

You have to close all chrome windows and only after that start that shortcut. It's worked for me.
