Google Earth Geometry Import

Post by manuelriedl » 21 May 2013, 10:02

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to capture/export building-geometry (preferably, but not necessarily including textures) from Google Earth for PreViz purposes, but can't seem to find a working pipeline.

Has anyone here managed to get any sort of result in that matter?

So far I have tried out the following without success:

'3D Print Screen' - no reaction to pressing short-cuts, or GEarth crashes
'GLXtractor' - no reaction to pressing short-cuts

The same issues occurred on several computers as well.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Manuel
