Importing RDC from Google Earth (partially) fails #151
Comments
I just tried it and I can confirm that on my computer it's not working exactly as expected. I used RenderDoc 1.10 with Blender 2.91.2 and MapsModelsImporter 0.3.5_rc2. I made 8 captures in two runs, first run with 3 captures and second run with 5 captures. My conclusion is that there are two things happening with captures of Google Earth:
@polygonfuture If it works with rdc-files made with Google Maps I would suggest do it that way for the moment. |
Could one of you share one of these faulty captures? |
Hi there, Sure here is a capture that errors. I couldnt zip it to the limited file size of 10mb so here's a google drive link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12hBQzABnzE7n0JaR1hpIt49Ek6xEZfp0?usp=sharing |
Ok I might have found a more robust way to import from Earth, check this new version: https://github.com/eliemichel/MapsModelsImporter/releases/tag/v0.3.6 |
Thank you so much @eliemichel I'll give it a try today and report back. |
@eliemichel Awesome work. I just checked it with a new installation of Blender 2.92 and Addon 0.3.6 and the RDC-Files I made last time (they did not import properly with 0.3.5). Now all of them do import properly. There's one thing to mention maybe... all of the captures were buried under some big low resolution polygons. In order to see the high resolution polygons I had to delete the low resolution polygons first, which had several layers. This might confuse some users until they find out... @polygonfuture How is it on your computer? |
@eliemichel uuh, it seems like 0.3.6 only works for google earth. At least on my computer all the sample files cause an error. Take a look here. |
@eliemichel I used the latest release of MapsModelsImporte - v0.3.6 |
@Sulekha02 On my end v0.3.6 only works for captures from Google Earth but it does not work for Google Maps. Unfortunately all the sample files don't work with 0.3.6 (at least on my pc) |
@jokumo @eliemichel Yes, I am trying to get google earth data. I have tried RDC file of google earth from RenderDoc v1.10 on add-on v 0.3.6. Also, after reading earlier comments... what's the difference in google maps and google earth? Am I missing something? |
@Sulekha02 To get an earlier Version you have to go to the releases page and scroll down. Google Earth (earth.google.com)and Google Maps (maps.google.com)are two different products of Google. They have a slightly different approach on how they use 3D-Data hence what you capture with RenderDoc gives you different content of the resulting RDC-File. This Plugin was made for Google Maps and it works really good with Google Maps, expect the newest version 0.3.6, which seems to only work with Google Earth. |
@jokumo Thank you. |
Sorry all, I fixed 0.3.6 eventually but to make things clearer to everybody I just made it a new release: v0.3.7 |
I am attempting to import through Google Earth Web (via chrome browser).
[...]
I am able to import various test file such as Funkhaus.rdc without issue.

UPDATE: Confirmed google maps works fine. Google Earth Web appears to be busted.
Google Earth Web RDC files do not import at all on Win 10 64bit, RenderDoc 1.10, MapsModelImporter 3.5 rc2 (latest), and Blender 2.82.

The capture definitely contains 3D information. I see it in the list of data captured.
Would you be able to verify a working google earth capture on your end and push the rdc to your repo of samples?
