Google Earth - Importing into Maya

[andrieuj]

Is there a way to import a building from Google Earth into Maya? I saw a YouTube Video but there is no sound and the screen is way too fuzzy. I am trying to import a small city block to present to my students.

That might be difficult, although you can find some of the major cities here....at a price...

Hi @andrieuj,

Thank you for posting to the Area Forums.

I haven't tried this, but it looks promising:

See my video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjoRl1NZkgw. It produces .obj format of 3D models.
