Google has made it so you can actually directly access their API and pull tiles from Google Maps/Earth. This is extremely helpful for getting an idea of space you are rendering or adding background elements in.

In this video I will show you how to set up the API, and how to download the addon, configure the mesh to be exported right into Lumion. The audio in the last half is a bit weird, I apologize I am a bit rusty with setting up the recordings.
