[Video Tutorial] Create a replica height map with Google Maps

Post by Vojda »

Hi everyone, since the videos of Aeffertz are removed and Google Sketchup has change versions, I tried to find a solution to make a real life height map, after months and months, I found this website but it's too hard to adjust with Google maps to be precise.

Alex told me that he uses 3D Map Generator - Terrain but it cost $21 (that I paid) and saw that it uses the website mentioned earlier, so I decide to do a free google maps to grayscale heightmap converter for all the other track creators who wants to do replicas.

There's a small tutorial on the google sheets (that you can copy on your drive if you want) but I also made a video tutorial.
In this tutorial, there's no scale parameters, I'm not good at that the moment (if someone could explain me, it should be great).


Hope it'll help you!
