Blender addons to make the bridge between Blender and geographic data

Overview

Blender GIS

Blender minimal version : 2.8

Mac users warning : currently the addon does not work on Mac with Blender 2.80 to 2.82. Please do not report the issue here, it's already solved with Blender 2.83. Check the bug report.

Wiki - FAQ - Quick start guide - Flowchart

Functionalities overview

GIS datafile import : Import in Blender most commons GIS data format : Shapefile vector, raster image, geotiff DEM, OpenStreetMap xml.

There are a lot of possibilities to create a 3D terrain from geographic data with BlenderGIS, check the Flowchart to have an overview.

Exemple : import vector contour lines, create faces by triangulation and put a topographic raster texture.

Grab geodata directly from the web : display dynamics web maps inside Blender 3d view, requests for OpenStreetMap data (buildings, roads ...), get true elevation data from the NASA SRTM mission.

And more : Manage georeferencing informations of a scene, compute a terrain mesh by Delaunay triangulation, drop objects on a terrain mesh, make terrain analysis using shader nodes, setup new cameras from geotagged photos, setup a camera to render with Blender a new georeferenced raster.

  • SRTM error on 2.90

    SRTM error on 2.90

    Blender 2.90.1 official release on Windows 10

    Cannot retrieve SRTM data that I was able to retrieve last night. I've tried reading the error log to see if it's simply not reaching the server but can't see this as the same as your warning for submissions.

    So I was having this problem with Blender 2.92 Alpha...no big surprise there. I performed a clean install of 2.90.1 along with clean config files. I've tried opening Blender as Admin, with factory defaults and only BlenderGIS enabled as an addon and I get the following message:

  • Adding Mac OSX & Linux support in documentation

    Adding Mac OSX & Linux support in documentation

    Hi Dominique,

    I saw your great Wiki and the installation for gdal python bindings inside blender ont this page : https://github.com/domlysz/BlenderGIS/wiki/How-to-install-GDAL It's very helpfull but there is windows only installation. I don't use Windows. According to you, I would want to add other plateform to your wiki.

    Mac Osx Tested on Yosemite 10.10 and Blender 2.74 1) Install Xcode and Macports from this link : https://www.macports.org/install.php

    2) Install gdal and gdal python bindings Open a terminal from spotlight or from Applications => Utilities => Terminal Then type with administratives rights :

    sudo port install gdal py34-gdal

    3) Copy osgeo folder from python bindings to blender

    cp -rf /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/osgeo /where_you_put_blender_on_your_mac/Blender/blender.app/Contents/Resources/2.74/scripts/modules/

    Replace where_you_put_blender_on_your_mac with the path where you run or install Blender

    Test it in Blender Python console like windows installation.


    I think there is a mistake in the wiki with this : Finally, to get GDAL working in Blender, just copy osgeo folder in Python tree folder of Blender (C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.70\python\lib\site-packages). If I put the osgeo folder in the same path like you recommand (python/lib/site-packages), I'm not able to launch gdal from blender. When I put osgeo in blender's module folder, It works !

    Sorry for my poor english, I'm french ...

    Sincerely,

    Sylvain

  • Gaps between DEM's when trying to achieve tiled terrain project

    Gaps between DEM's when trying to achieve tiled terrain project

    I'm working to take assets imported using BlenderGIS and then work on them with Armory, so I can interact with the terrain and fly through it. Due to the size of some of the rasters 20000+ pixels I am hitting WebGL limitations within Armory exports.

    To resolve this, I attempted to cut my Heightmap up in QGIS and load individual tiles with BlenderGIS, but I got the following gaps between DEM's which were impossible to join: edgegap

    I spotted this had been mentioned before in following posts: https://github.com/domlysz/BlenderGIS/issues/24 https://github.com/domlysz/BlenderGIS/issues/98

    So I switched between pxLoc='CENTER' and Loc='CORNER' in operators/io_import_georaster.py but neither made a difference.

    So I took your advice in one of the posts and just imported the whole heightmap and looked for another route to tile. Having found this script I was able to slice up the mesh into 16 tiles (seperate objects):

    import bpy, bmesh
    from bpy import context
    from  mathutils import Vector
    # bounding box helper methods
    def bbox(ob):
        return (Vector(b) for b in ob.bound_box)
    
    def bbox_center(ob):
        return sum(bbox(ob), Vector()) / 8
    
    def bbox_axes(ob):
        bb = list(bbox(ob))
        return tuple(bb[i] for i in (0, 4, 3, 1))
    
    def slice(bm, start, end, segments):
        if segments == 1:
            return
        def geom(bm):
            return bm.verts[:] + bm.edges[:] + bm.faces[:]
        planes = [start.lerp(end, f / segments) for f in range(1, segments)]
        #p0 = start
        plane_no = (end - start).normalized() 
        while(planes): 
            p0 = planes.pop(0)                 
            ret = bmesh.ops.bisect_plane(bm, 
                    geom=geom(bm),
                    plane_co=p0, 
                    plane_no=plane_no)
            bmesh.ops.split_edges(bm, 
                    edges=[e for e in ret['geom_cut'] 
                    if isinstance(e, bmesh.types.BMEdge)])
    
    
    bm = bmesh.new()
    ob = context.object
    me = ob.data
    bm.from_mesh(me)
    
    o, x, y, z = bbox_axes(ob)        
    
    x_segments = 4
    y_segments = 4
    z_segments = 1
    
    slice(bm, o, x, x_segments)
    slice(bm, o, y, y_segments)
    slice(bm, o, z, z_segments)    
    bm.to_mesh(me)
    
    bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='EDIT')
    bpy.ops.mesh.separate(type='LOOSE')
    bpy.ops.object.mode_set()
    

    And started importing sat images that I had already split into tiles within QGIS, this appeared to look nice and worked well: whole

    However when I zoomed into the edges I had a similar gap issue: edge

    I feel like I'm getting closer but would appreciate a little help trying to reduce the gap issues.

    The entire sat image in this test is 10000 x 10000 and each tile is 2500 x 2500.

    I'm using the following python extract the square HM from the source asc:

    import os
    os.system(r'''gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:32758 -wo SOURCE_EXTRA=1000 -tr 8.0 8.0 -dstnodata "0.0" -r cubic -ot Float32 -of GTiff -te 644784.498133 4979531.810674 654784.498133 4989531.810674 "D:/Arma/QGIS/NZ/Doubtful_Sounds/DEM/nz-8m-digital-elevation-model-2012.asc" D:/Arma/QGIS/NZ/Doubtful_Sounds/grid/DEM/square.tif''')
    

    And the following to generate tiled sat images:

    import os
    os.system(r'''gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:32758 -wo SOURCE_EXTRA=1000 -tr 1.0 1.0 -r cubic -of GTiff -te 644784.498133 4987031.810674 647284.498133 4989531.810674  D:/Arma/QGIS/NZ/Doubtful_Sounds/11_05_19/merged_sat.tif D:/Arma/QGIS/NZ/Doubtful_Sounds/grid/DEM/sat1a.tif''')
    

    I'm running Blender 2.8 with your latest BlenderGIS build. Projection on the project is QGS 84 / UTM zone58S

    This happens when there is a single peak that is higher than surrounding terrain. Is it possible to have the camera higher by default, so it's above all parts of the DEM?
