Import Google Earth 3D Map into Blender 5.0 | Real World City Environment Tutorial

In this tutorial, you will learn how to capture real-world 3D map data from Google Earth and convert it into a fully usable 3D environment inside Blender 5.0. This workflow helps you quickly build realistic city scenes with buildings, roads, and textures for animation, game development, and cinematic visualization using a Google Earth 3D extraction pipeline and Blender. Chapters: 0:00 - Introduction This section introduces the workflow for converting real-world Google Earth map data into a 3D environment inside Blender 5.0, explaining how this pipeline speeds up environment creation for animation and game development. 0:26 - Step 1: Capture Map Data Use the Earth2M SFS tool to select a real-world location, adjust the Level of Detail (LOD), and download the map data as a folder of GLTF files containing buildings, roads, and terrain. 2:29 - Step 2: Import into Blender Import all GLTF files into Blender at the same time. The scene will load without textures at first, but the full 3D city geometry will be present. 3:35 - Step 3: Fix Materials Go to File \ External Data \ Find Missing Files and point Blender to the texture folder. This restores missing materials and automatically applies textures to the imported city assets. 4:32 - Step 4: Model Cleanup and Editing Select all objects and press Ctrl+J to combine them into a single mesh. Use Edit Mode with tools like Knife or Bisect to remove unwanted geometry or crop the environment to fit your scene. 7:13 - Step 5: Export Final Scene Save and export the cleaned environment as an FBX file. Enable Copy Path Mode and embed textures so it can be used in external software such as Unreal Engine or iClone. 7:54 - Conclusion You now have a complete real-world 3D city environment inside Blender, ready for animation, game development, or cinematic production.
