Import 3D Google Maps into SketchUp Using PhotoCatch (MacOS Photogrammetry)

- We look at the process of creating a 3D model from Google Earth (or Google Maps) using the photogrammetry (MacOS) application called PhotoCatch. PhotoCatch creates a 3D file from images or a video. We import a video from a screen recording of Google Earth. The saved PhotoCatch 3D file is imported into SketchUp using an .OBJ importer plugin called Simlab Soft.

I used to walk around there after school all the time. Great spot
Downtown Pittsburgh is a lovely place!
Amazing!,gonna try this to get the site model for my graduation project!
Right?! I hope your results work out. I tried several “captures” of various sites and the models are totally usable.
You should probably be aware there are more direct ways to do this
@@andreybushev3020 Hey Andrey. Thanks for your comment. How are you pulling in 3D Google information?
I finally got the (Blender v2.93.5, RenderDoc v1.13, MapsModelImporter v0.4.0) workflow to operate properly. It's much cleaner and faster. Followed the instructions here:

Very good presentation. I love your spoken English.
Thank you!
helped me alot,. thanks man!
Glad it helped!
THANK YOU!!!
I have been trying to do this for years!
Right!? Love it!
Hey brother thank you so much for coming up with this solution. Everything ive seen is for Windows using Renderdoc. Thank you thank you thank you, you are a great man!
Well, thank you, sir. You know, I did get Renderdoc to work in (Parallels) Windows on the Mac. But only using it once a month or so, the googlemaps-renderdoc-blender workflow gets errors in the process. It'll work one day, and then, it doesn't. Renderdoc definitely allows for a cleaner more accurate import. As with most 3D things on a Mac, it's always second best to a proper Windows setup.......Insert chagrin emoji here.....
Omg!! Thank you so much. You are the best!!!!
Awesome!! Good stuff!
Great, I suscribe.
super tool, super explain, you look very nice man, thanks a lot
Cool. Cool. I'm glad it could be useful. Thanks for the comment!
sehr sehr gut 👍 Thanks!
Im going to try it, nice video
I hope it works out for you. cheers.
You are a genius - well done! ❤
Awesome! So cool.
Hello ...can you tell me what is the theme use in minimize window
thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing ~ 🙏
Yes, and thank you!
thank you so much very helpfull
Fantastic!
is it possible for windows?
Tnx 😀
Amazing! thanks
Glad you like it!
Thank u so so so much
Awesome. It's good the hear you found this useful.
I use RealityCapture..it gives the best quality especially if you use a video from a drone.
I've never used RealityCapture, but it looks like a great program. Thank you for sharing!
How close do you have to be to buildings and houses for better quality with the drone video?
@@simulationnation3105 closer is better and it depends on your needs (usually its small area..large area will take a more time to process and quantity of poligons will be huge) and it has to be continuous video without interruption.
Is this reliable for a base model of a golf course? Just one hole, like THAT detailed?
Thanks so much! This is amazing for light sketch!
Nice. Indeed!
Thank you so much
But for windows?
There must be a photogrammetry program for Windows. In theory, it would work the same. There a new Placemaker option that works to directly import into SketchUp. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/Wir-0l2z8sM/video.html
@@DEPICTIONILLUSTRATION that's great. Thanks
@@hassana3082 The Placemaker option is a paid plugin $230 for the year and is expected to be publicly released very soon. Good luck! Cheers, Joe
Fantastic video! Been looking for a way to do this on a Mac, but Photocatch won't work for me. It claims that 'You rmac does not support on-device processing' . Not sure how to fix this, or if you can. Any chance you could help?
Hmmm. Right. It runs on my M1 Macbook on MacOS 12. You would definitely need MacOS 12. Intel Mac may work if it has 16GB of RAM and a compatible AMD GPU with 4GB of VRAM. Other than that, I'm not sure I could offer much help.
@@DEPICTIONILLUSTRATION Because you do not make this 3D model that you created for everyone to download. please
Great video man, you should make blender , its easier to clean it :))
Ty! I started using a little Blender, but my experience is with SketchUp. I love Blender during the short time that I’ve used it.
saw this on insta reel posted by illustrach
Awesome. Good to hear. Thanks for the comment. Hopefully you found it helpful. Cheers!
Is it only for Mac? :/
I love you
Thanks, friend. Much love to you too!
Can you select the buildings individually and export the building as 3D model?
No. There's no "smart" selecting of "objects". The model it creates is all one entity. You would probably need to crop down the model and save the buildings individually.
i need to pay for this aplication... PhotoCatch
so does not work at all.
idk why you added this Simlab Soft, cant do any thing with this... but cool video, nice that you can doe it...
I believe the MacOS version is free, and the iOS version charges a fee for "calculation" to a 3d model.
Hey, can i use it in windows ?
MacOS only, but there are definitely Windows applications that can do a similar process.
@@DEPICTIONILLUSTRATION do you know any? pls...
@@alesmakovec3065 I'm not running Windows, but they are out there. Cheers!
any idea what would happen if you exported that as a 2D DWG export? :P
I was thinking you were serious....but then saw the ":P" in the comment..... :)
hi, nice tool, but it doesn't work on my Mac
it keeps giving an error.
I work with a Mac Monterey intelCore i9 16GB & radeon Pro 575x 4GB
do you maybe know how I can make this work?
thanks in advance.
Hmmm. I sure wish I could offer a suggestion. If you wanted to send me a file/video I could try it on my end.
@@DEPICTIONILLUSTRATION thank you very much, it is for a school project, do I send you a wetransfer?
@@maxscheffer1246 That works for me. Not sure if I should post my email here or not. You could find it under the studio section on www.depiction.com
Should have a MAC ONLY mention on the title.
MacOS was added to the title. Cheers!
Great video, but $80.00 is highway robbery.
What’s $80?
WoW! Does this exist for Windows?
I'm not on Windows, but there are other photogrammetry programs out there. I saw a really powerful app built by the Lumion folks. Thanks for watching!
its free?
How much is this cost?
PhotoCatch is FREE!
it's a shame it's not for windows
The same concept could be applied to a Windows photogrammetry application.
isn't this highly illegal tho?
Good question. I supposed if the user started capturing, selling, and distributing Google's data, there might be some issues.......
How do you do that on a residential neighbourhood that usually doesn't have any 3d buildings into google earth?
The Google Earth area would need to be 3d.
Thanks for the tutorial, unfortunately, it didn't even remotely work for me, the file came in like it had been blown up like a grenade! :/
Did you circle around one particular area?
@@DEPICTIONILLUSTRATION yeah, focused on on circling one building. Came out horrible! Used all the same settings you used.
@@RyanAldenCreative I could take a look if you'd like. Upload your video file and a Google Earth/Map location here: www.dropbox.com/request/A3wyQmrijCvPs4Dt0jLb
It’s google earth not maps
I hear you. I suppose I use Maps and Earth interchangeably. Thanks for the note. Cheers.
