Google-Maps Data Import?

ChristophPieper — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 08:05:11 GMT

City Engine allows me to use Open Street Map for importing map and building data. Is there any way to use Google Maps data? Especially, I'm interested in the texture data of google maps...

If I do an import with the regular OSM building and add an example texture set, the degree of individual recognition while viewing (e.g. in a simulator) is relatively low...

Greeting, and thank you very much in advance!

Christoph

there isn't even anything suggested as an addition on the Ideas site

Esri provides various raster base map services (including high res imagery) and a world elevation service.
They can be used within CityEngine to create a terrain layer from scratch without preparing any data.
