As a sometime QGIS and Blender 3D user, you've just blown my mind! Thank you.

I appriciate this wonderful tuttorial. I have been thinking how to express the shape file data other than QGIS

Since your shape file is a flat polygon, how did it acquire different heights when you imported it into Blender? In theory, all shape files should have the same heights, so how did Blender determine each shape file's distinctive heights if that is indeed the case?

Can I download the shapefiles for other countries ? Any link you can suggest

How can we crop the boundary of the area we want from a base map?

I dont understand why did you scale the grid. If you scale it than it is not correctly placed therefore wrong isnt it?
I like the video, however as a geospatial expert it pains me to see such a nice visualisation, that is incorect.
