[@milesmurphy3730]

@Markom3D a few people have asked about exporting the model with textures. Have you come across a solution for this?

[@spittingame4241]

I just bought the paid version of Blosm. I got a unzip file that says Assets. Where should the asset file go?

[@joeson4208]

Awesome

[@thcarneiro]

Great Addon! I am loving it. But I am trying to make it react to light, so I could set it to day, night, dusk... Do you know how to render it in a fashion that makes the map react to light?

[@CommanderColson]

Thanks for the vid, followed everything up to the point where I hit ''import' and it hit me with "Error: a valid directory for the data in the addon preferences isn't set". Any ideas?

[@CommanderColson]

Figured it out, I had to add a location for the map tiles to be saved to. Now I'm getting the error: Unable to process the root URI of the 3D tiles: HTTP error 403: forbidden. Any ideas?

[@SuperJimmy3D]

I'm having the same issues!! @@CommanderColson

[@CommanderColson]

@@SuperJimmy3D Figured it out, you have to enable map tiles on your cloud account or something like that. Someone posted a link somewhere but I'm not sure I still have it

[@schmildo]

I found the fix to the HTTP error 403: forbidden. In your google cloud thingy: APIs and Services->Library->search for 'tiles'->Select 'Map Tiles API'->Enable

[@Ponlets]

@@schmildo dude thank you so much ... wish the video covered this ... but yee

[@360Pros]

You pronounced Zagreb right, that's my first impression haha. But also, thank you for this tutorial! Going to try now :)

[@kyllianBehourd]

Hi ! Why when I export, I don't have the textures? ^^' Do you know how to export it in FBX with textures?

[@kevinwth6018]

I come across the same issue here when I export it to fbx format even after I click the ‘copy’ option at the top right corner when exporting

[@lucadamico6248]

Did u solve?@@kevinwth6018

[@colleencraige3030]

@@kevinwth6018 I ran into the same problem, you have to click "replace materials" on the tool panel of the plugin with all the geo selected and then export out with blender's copy textures fbx setting.

[@fredriklindgren1792]

This is how I solved the white mesh problem when exporting out a fbx for use in Unreal Engine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZjMYWCki9empK8

[@milesmurphy3730]

​@@colleencraige3030, @kevinwth6018, @kyllianBehourd did any of you find a workaround. It is driving me maaaaaaaadddd!!!!!

[@steedlei1]

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!

[@euclois]

go on edit mode, select mesh and delete

[@teiwawex]

what is the difference between the paid and free version of the addon?

[@cr0uchingtiger]

He's not listening to you. Not that kinda KZbinr.

[@ltonchis1245]

lmao 😂 the ending

[@WolverineMKD]

😂😂😂 Amazing thanks!

[@911pow]

Hey can you make this work with the Plans app from mac database? Thanks

[@Markom3D]

No, sorry because I dont use mac's... ew

[@DoubleDbababoi]

@@Markom3D You didnt have to do him like that😭🙏

[@mankurt2594]

looks amazing. after following all the steps closely get an error "'BlenderApp' object has no attribute 'init3dTiles'". What could be the problem?

[@lionelcloerec3401]

Same for me

[@Kadamx]

Can anyone give me a google api key...... i tried so many times to add my credit card and there's an error not allowing that.... I'll need it just for 10 mins. Or if anyone can download the map and send it to me.. That would be a great help😢

[@Ponlets]

i cant use the google maps thing in blender it wont let me because: error 403: forbidden

[@davinsaputraartandgamedev9453]

me too... is there a solution to it?

[@Kadamx]

Saaaaame brooo.. And this's driving me crazy☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

[@Ponlets]

@@mcbot1 that fixes some of it but there is another thing you have to enable in the Google maps thing to make it work

[@ItsCooperTho]

@@Ponlets where will we find that?

[@china100]

Did you find a fix for this?

[@Duckers_McQuack]

Meanwhile, i'm currently importing a 10x11 kilometer area of my home town in the best quality, and i've waited 40 minutes so far, still going lol. And for some reason, blosm's map data folder only has one json file of 114kb, and "current_file.glb" of 20KB that is written, gets deleted over and over so far. Can't tell if it's failing in a loop, or if the actual cached data is somewhere else lol

[@LogesArt]

I am trying to do the same thing and i am getting the same behaviours. Did you managed to reach your goal in the end? How long it did took to you?

[@rainyrobloxian-xt9cl]

Can somebody help me with this error? Unable to process the root URI of the 3D Tiles: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

[@dcfuelbrother5914]

Your Google API key is not set when that happens. Check the Blosm description, there is a detailed explanation about that. You need to setup Credit Card info to get the API key.

[@michaeltyers7336]

I'm wondering if they've throttled downloads because it's taking me 20 minutes to download a 300x300 m patch

[@xXrobloxpro123Xx]

im having the exact same issue, its really annoying

[@GiJoe94]

That's large area

[@jHan550]

I'm a novice but has anyone tried pushing this into unreal engine or other software? I'm trying to figure out how to keep the textures in the process

[@fallogingl]

You can export the mesh as FBX that you can import into other software. Might have to make a separate object that is UV unwrapped/texture-baked though.

[@philhighfield4741]

Unreal has a direct google maps importer.. Cesium, I don't know how to use UE or blender so cant give more than that sorry :D

[@The_Revit_Network]

How can you get around using googles data for commercial use legally?

[@Ryz240]

Did you find a answer to this?

[@dustinrolstad752]

The map access token is the part I'm stuck on.

[@kjdee140]

Mine is not working! I press import but nothing happens!

[@DavyJones61]

When I do it, it looks like nothing happens, but there is an object. I scale it by 0.01 and then it comes into view. It's just so large. Perhaps that's what's happening for you. Edit: Wait a second. I'm thinking of when I use the "terrain" option instead of Google 3D tiles. I'm not sure if I've gotten that to work yet. I'll have to give it another shot.

[@alejojuvencio6724]

what's wrong with using render doc instead of blosm addon? Atleast you don't have to compromise you debit or credit card

[@Ponlets]

render doc is partially broken and the most recent versions of it have removed the ability to take 3d data from google maps "due to a security concern" .. that and its far more tedious to use render docs compared to the Blender addon

[@Kadamx]

Yeah bro... Tried so hard to add my card but there's error driving me crazy.. And am not able to get the google mao key

[@robertdouble559]

Jizz-jazz! 🤣😂

[@LegacyDrift]

Anyone fully figure this out to where it’s a simple walk thru?

Dude? are you serious? This is the easy way. This is the complicated way - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5zUo3yuaLWEZqM

[@josepht1575]

@@Markom3D there were some question marks for me while configuring the google api key which are a bit scary due to the way they word things like "protect your key from being used for traffic by restricting it's use". i'm wondering now if someone could run up a bill lol

I agree with you there mate! But Renderdoc doesn't work, I keep getting this error message you are using an unsupported command-line flag" --disable-gpu-sandbox. Stability and security will suffer. From chrome
