Animating a Lamborghini along a KML route - Blender/Google Earth Studio

This video will animate a car along a KML path using Earth Studio Tools for Blender. The Earth Studio Tools Add-on will import Google Earth Studio projects into Blender, import KML routes in 3D, and provide Masking tools to integrate Blender 3D objects with the rendered Google Earth Studio images.

Hats off for all the efforts and time you spend on this kind of tutorial. The best youtube tutorial, I've ever come across in my life.

Each one of your videos opens doors and possibilities I never thought of before. Excellent work. This channel deserves more subs.

Dang it I had no idea this was possible!! Wish Earth Studio was open to access!

I confirm I succeed today to add a 3D-plane following a large route path (loop of 300 kms). It is much more easy to do than I thought. That add-on is working fine, and very useful ! My next step is to create a scenario and tune the lights to reach a good-looking movie. Thank you again for your creative add-on and your professional tutorial !

Really EXCELLENT !!! Extremely well explained and described.
Many thanks for having shared your work and your efforts. This is a really professional level. Now I gonna try do it myself thanks to your explanations. For sure, I will share if I succeed, and if the quality is good.

I think that I have to pay for this wonderful and valuable class.

Thanks so much for this amazing video! Just wondering if there’s a free alternative to the Adobe After Effects? Thank you! :)

Really nice videos and very well explained. You made me discover a new world! I have a question: I'm going crazy trying to composting directly in blender (using your blender composting video as a cue) but I can't mask the car against the buildings. Can you help me ??

[Enjoyfun]

can we make this same animation in after effects?

[over-TUBE]

Hi Sir, Why when I render the car only the KML route line appears? Even though in the Layout TAB blender everything appears normally (Car, Route and Maps).

how we can made match googel earth studi with some 3d model object like your way but in another tio or softwar??

[rilosvideos]

Very, very nice and helpful video! Do you know of any similar tools for cinema 4d?

[Gezico-cat]

just one question how do i install this

[appdeveloper]

AMAZING ...CAN WE MAKE A CAR CHASE? CAN WE ADD CLOSE UP CAMERAS? PLEASE REPLY ME

Hi Rob. In your add-on, I do not understand the difference between POLY and NURBS for the curve option. Could you please explain. Many thanks again for this powerful and efficient tool !!

[lublue]

hello i have question. i have succeed to import footage and json. but when i import the KML file, the" nap to " is empty. i dont know why?

[lublue]

hello, is it possible to hide the path line when the car model moving?

[thierrybeghin]

Hi Rob.
Using your tutorial, I tried to make a video similar at the one your published several days ago (KML Flight Path - Zurich to Milan).
Unfortunately, my KML is accurate at the beginning of my video, but once my camera is moving fast (from 0 to 3000 meters high within 3 seconds), the Route path disappears... and reappears when my camera slows down.
Did you use a similar way to build your video "KML Flight Path - Zurich to Milan" ? Do I have to take care of a specitif paramater with the altitude ?
Thanks a lot
Thierry

Hallo! Why is it that after the introduction of route.kml, the "start" point is not attached to me? For some reason, the "snap to" field is completely empty.

Hi Rob- My company is looking for someone to make 3D maps like these for a bicycle tour we have coming up. Is that a service you offer?
