• The standout feature of BlenderGIS is its integrated web map browser. You no longer need to toggle between a web browser and your 3D software to find coordinates or capture low-resolution screenshots. Directly within the Blender viewport, you can navigate a global map, zoom into your specific site of interest, and define a capture area. With a few clicks, the add-on fetches high-resolution satellite imagery and maps it onto a generated mesh, providing an instant, real-world context for your projects.

Precision Geography at Your Fingertips

• Automated Terrain Generation: Beyond flat maps, BlenderGIS can import Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data to automatically displace your mesh, creating hyper-accurate 3D topography and mountain ranges based on real-world altitude data.

• OpenStreetMap (OSM) Integration: Instantly populate your scene with 3D geometry. With a single command, you can import building footprints, roads, and water bodies. The add-on can even extrude buildings based on metadata, giving you an instant 3D cityscape.

• Georeferencing Mastery: Maintain scientific accuracy by working in real-world coordinate systems. This ensures that any data you import—from Shapefiles (.shp) to GeoTIFFs—aligns perfectly with your existing scene.

• Custom CRS Support: It supports a vast library of Coordinate Reference Systems, allowing you to match the specific projection needs of local government data or engineering surveys.
