Whoa! Didn't realize there was a free addon that did this. Awesome tutorial!

For those interested, SRTM stands for Shuttle Radar Topography Mission. This was done 20 years ago. It's basically binocular radar. One transmitter in the cargo bay, 1 receiver in the cargo bay. Then a boom extended 200 ft off the side of the shuttle with another receiver. Then they just turned it on and radar mapped the Earth as they flew over and got two signals from slightly different points of view (just like your eyes) and used that to computer really accurate terrain maps. It's a pretty cool mission.

Great tutorial. To the point. Not too slow. No uneeded stuff. Nice work.

This is great! GIS is so cool.

I have been using GIS data for Architectural visualizations for 15 years now, and you just knocked HOURS of my work time, especially in areas where I needed the surrounding buildings!

OMG, this is the best way to do this. There are a bunch of tutorials on youtube on various ways to get the 3d data out of google maps / earth. This is the best one and simplest. I'm going to be making 3d prints of some locations for some last minute xmas gifts. Thanks!

This is amazing, going to have to watch the video at least 20 times until I take it all in! Brilliant, thanks.

I'm a noob with blender and thought this was going to be a step by step. Whoa the way you blow through the program is amazing! Hoping to learn to interact with it as fluidly as you do! You should make tutorials for total noobs too 😁😁 Like this tutorial but super watered down.
