For example a picture has shadows, reflections, and we don’t know how these are processed. What I mean with that, often textures doesn’t represent plausible albedo values. It’s similar like a (bad home-made) texture you find often on the internet. The problem with an Image Overlay, is that it is like a processed picture. Some caveats rendering a fly through animation you just select Image Overlay (Mapbox Satellite) in the Blender-OSM Addon and press import. So I prefer to do it this way, rather than scale the terrain. You could also scale the terrain of course, but that will give a few issues when you import other assets later. And next, you select the Data Object Properties tab in the Properties Panel (the icon with the camera), and set Clip end to something like 4000 meter. And to see the settings for clipping of the camera, you select the camera and in the Outliner. You might want to set the end clipping to 4000m, but that depends how big your terrain is. You find the settings for clipping for the viewport in the N-Panel under the tab View. Also, if you switch to another workspace, it might have it’s own settings for clipping. There are two places where you have settings for clipping: a) the viewport and b) the camera. If that is the case, then the terrain is so big, that it’s outside of the view of the camera because of the settings for clipping.
But most likely there is a problem once the terrain is imported: you don’t see it. You import first the terrain and then, if you have the paid version, the satelite image. In short: click Select, select an area of intererst, copy the coordinates, paste the coordinates in Blender and import. So the steps to use the addon, so far, is pretty straight forward. But there are a few caveats which I tell you more about. And since I have the paid version, I can also download a satellite image as texture. Back in Blender you past the coordinates and if you select terrain you can import the terrain. You can then select an area of interest and copy the coordinates.
That means that you click Select in the addon and that brings you to a map online. What I like about this addon is the convenience of importing landscapes. For all other features, I suggest to check the documentation of the addon on Gumroad where you find the free version or the paid version. While you can also import buildings, GPX-tracks, Rivers, Lakes, vegetation and forests, I tell a bit more about importing terrains and a satellite image overlay. With the Blender-OSM Addon we can pick an area on a map and import landscapes.
