New Earth Modeler for Blender! Fast, one click modeling using Google Maps data.

Set location and the model is imported directly into your scene.

If you've been around here for a while, you already know we've been developing for the Google Earth platform for a few years now. Notably, our Earth Studio Tools for Blender allows for 3D integration of Blender object over the rendered output of Google Earth Studio and our JavaScript KML importer for After Effects.

This project, however, has become a bit of a beast. Firstly, the incredible outreach many of you have displayed of the last month has been encouraging and humbling. As a single developer, who develops for Blender in my spare time, it has been exciting to hear from so many of you. I have also been mindful of the potential use of a product like this to the greater Blender community and have endeavored to ensure that the addon conforms to the proper guidelines and usage defined by Google. It is, ultimately, their intellectual property we are using and their generosity that has made this a potential game changer for the 3D community.

if you have questions, the best way to ensure I see it is by commenting below. I'll do my best to answer the questions in a timely manner. Keeping in mind, I will also be developing the production version of the software, so it's a bit of a balancing act to be "social" and "get sh*t done". Thanks for you understanding.
