Terrain Raster to 3D Model using QGIS and Blender in less than 10 Minutes

In this video I'll show you how to take an elevation raster (DEM, DTED, SRTM, DSM, DTM, etc) and convert it to a 3D model that can be used with just about any 3D editing software.

Name of the plugins : Qgis2threejs ; HCMGIS

(to add to the description)

I had an issue where the heightmap would shoot up in the sky in Qgis2threejs. To fix this, go to Scene > Scene Settings... and change the value next to "Z exaggeration". I was working with a huge area (entire national park), so the value will most likely depend on the total map size, but "0.00005" fixed my issue.

Great video but where did you get the DEM data?

Straightforward, thank you for the video. It was so helpful.

Thanks for the quick and easy to follow tutorial, worked great however I would like to have the final mdoel in real scale is that possible? The dimensions of my model which should be a few kilometers are just like 3m wide for example.

When I click on Qgis2threejs it says no 3d objects were rendered. There is a compatibility issue with Qgis 3d view. I closed all 3d map and closed the software but it didn’t work out

I tried it and worked pretty smoothly. Thanks a lot for your video!

I add tif files as you mentioned however I only see the model as 2D, it doesn't become a 3d terrain when I click exporter. Anyone has a solution?

I have an issue with terrain. When i impose ESRI or Google Satellite on top of Google Terrain ... GIS2Threejs just generate a Flat plane with no mountains while i am focusing a mountanous region. why it is so?

Thank you for your clear explanation. I am using Macos and as well as Martin Tocs, Trying to import .glb file into Blender and it falls. nothing appears in the screen, when i put view-frame all, the screen is dark.... i don´t have any idea. i am able to see the glb or gltf in a normal visor. Any suggestions...? i am starting with blender...so some mistake i must be doing... Thank you again

Hey, i've imported my file to blender, but it's seem that the file position is above the camera and light, so when i exported it, it isn't fit with the camera view. Can you help me please?

Trying to import .glb file into Blender. Failing. Blender says "Couldn't parse glTF. Check that the file is valid". What could be the problem?

Great video. Anyway I can't add the texture layer by HCMGIS plugin. I hve tried different sources, Google satellite as well, but no luck. Any idea? Thank you!
