Google Maps - Satellite Visualization

Hi there!

I'm quite new using gismo and and I'm really impressed about it.

I start using gismo for a really simple task, I need real terrain and real 3d building to insert my project in a real contest.

Before gismo I was using a blender addon called BlenderGis https://github.com/domlysz/BlenderGIS, that is really useful because it permits to apply to osm and srtm information the google/bing map as base of the portion you need.

Is it possible to do something similar with gismo too? I think could be really usefull tool to unnderstand the contest where you are working on.

I tryed to see if there is some other plugin (like mosquito) that could be used to do it but it seems impossible.

I was cheking old discussion but i didn't find the information I'm looking for.

Really thanks and have a nice day.

Anto

Hello Anto,

Gismo's "Terraing Generator" component supports SRTM.

Try attached file.

You will have to turn on the particular "boolean toggles" to get parts of the definition generated.
I would advise turning on the "Terrain Generator" toggle first (at the very bottom), then one by one the others.

Hi djordie!

really thanks for your reply!

I was able to generate the terrain and the building, and that's cool!

what I would like to see is the syncronized google map satellite view on the therrain!

I imagine that for that it's necessary another gh component and to access to google map api, and I don't know if it's simple\possible or not.

I apply manually with rhino render a simple texture on the terrain to explain what I mean.

Really thanks for your kindness and your time.

Anto

Hi Anto,
Gismo does not have a component which imports satellite imagery.
Antonello Di Nunzio made a great one for Ladybug plugin. Download it from here.
Component requires Google Api key, in order to run. You can read more about it if you hover over the component. Attached is a screenshot of this description.
Here is the discussion solving some of the solutions with Google API key.

In order to lay the satellite texture over the terrain brep in Grasshopper, you would also need Human plugin.
