For most of our projects, our company likes to import a satellite image of the surrounding area to show what is in place. This feature is included in the software we are using now. However, all I can find on here is the 3D OSM, which does not show satellite imagery. There are no details on the buildings and it doesn't show the grass or treelines. We most likely would not have time to design out every building and all the landscape in the area for our projects. How would you insert the satellite image of the area?
Hello
Thank you for posting your question in the community. I have a couple of suggestions for you to try to insert a Satellite map into Twinmotion.
First, you can import the topography geometry, and then create a material and apply the satellite image to the topography as a texture.
Second, you can import the model from google maps, using the methods outlined in these videos:

I also highly recommend checking out the Facebook Twinmotion community. There you can ask what other users have similarly done.
