Blender OSM

okay this is how you use an install blender osm so first you need to go to Gumroad comm /l /bl OS m and you need to download it and pay for it it's $17.80 and then when you download it you should get two files you should get assets don't zip and blender OS m dot zip and then once you've done that you want to load up blender so in blender go to edit preferences and then choose the add-on tab and then select install and then go to the place where you downloaded those two files and then you want to select blend out our 7-zip press install add-on from file and then you need to enable it by pressing this Square and now what we need to do is you need to get that other file called assets and we need to copy it into a location that can be accessed by blender so I'm just gonna copy it to my D Drive I'm gonna put it in the scratch folder and then I'm gonna put it in a folder called blender OSM and then this is just a temporary location that holds the 3d assets to make the scene so you want to unzip this file and then you can delete the original okay so we go back to blender now we press this triangle to expand the settings and now we have to find that assets folder so the directory with assets we have to choose here so there we go to place where we put our assets folder in blender osm assets and then press accept and then this is where your downloaded OpenStreetMap data is going to go so I'm gonna put this just in the folder above that so d scratch and I'm just gonna put it on the top level here so once you've set those up you are pretty much good to go if you want you can sign up for Matt box and then you can put your map box access token in here but this isn't essential this is just so that you can get the satellite image so you can copy this to the clipboard go back into the add-on and paste it using control V you can't right-click in this field so these are all the settings so now I'm going to close this window go to blend up mm-hmm and the interface for the add-on can be found in this side panel here which you can expand by pressing this little tab or you can press the hotkey n and then if you go to the OSM tab you'll see the user interface for the add-on so in order to use this you press the button select and this will launch a browser window and then in the browser window you can zoom to the area that you're interested in downloading so I'm just going to zoom into London here and find a little bit of something so if you press this button show selection rectangle you'll get a rectangle appearing and bear in mind that you don't want to set this too big because it would probably take quite a long time to load all of the data in an urban area so I'm just gonna set mine about this size I mean you can set it bigger but it will just take longer to download all the data and then once you've chosen your area press copy over here go back to blender and then press paste and it will paste those coordinates into blender and I'd recommend starting by choosing terrain and then press import to import the terrain so you'll notice that the terrain has come in very big and we can't see it all properly but if we go to view and then frame selected the camera will zoom out to show us although another problem is that it's disappeared now because the video clip is too close to the camera so to fix that we go to the View tab and you want to set a clip end to something like ten thousand or possibly even higher than ten thousand so we've got our terrain now we go back to the OSM tab and we choose OpenStreetMap and I'm going to choose 3d simple because it just gives us basic blocks for buildings if you choose 3d realistic it'll use that assets folder to try and put like fake windows on all of your buildings but I just want plain buildings so I'm going to choose 3d simple and then I'm gonna press the important and as you can see it's imported all of my 3d building paper that was available on OpenStreetMaps you can see there's st. Paul's over there and we've got a bridge and there are lots of layers in this so there are roads there's like footpaths I think and it also does railways if you tell it to do well I mean actually I had railways turned off so it didn't import railways but you can see in an urban area you can get quite a lot of good building info and if you turned on the you entered an API key for your map box you can choose image overlay and with your terrain object in the settings you can press import and it will download image tiles for the satellite data for the map box okay so it's finished importing the image satellite data but in order to see it we need to change the display mode and easiest way to do that is to press this little button in the corner here which is the texture textured view and I think it's there's a bit of Zedd fighting here going on because we've got another object that's for the for the water but that's just an object that you can hide or remove and it seems to have done a pretty good job
