GOOGLE MAPS in LUMION! I'm Back

Google has made it so you can actually directly access their API and pull tiles from Google Maps/Earth. This is extremely helpful for getting an idea of space you are rendering or adding background elements in.

In this video I will show you how to set up the API, and how to download the add-on, configure the mesh to be exported right into Lumion. The audio in the last half is a bit weird, I apologize I am a bit rusty with setting up the recordings.
