ImageGIS2Camera Documentation

User guide for ImageGIS2Camera v1.0.46 - Blender camera import, GIS positioning, EXIF data and per-camera rendering

Overview

ImageGIS2Camera imports camera viewpoints into Blender from geotagged image folders or GIS point files. It is designed for photomontage preparation, visual-impact studies, renewable-energy visualisations, GIS-to-3D workflows and projects where many viewpoints must stay organised, named and renderable.

The add-on creates one Blender camera per source photo or vector point, places all imported cameras inside a dedicated ImageGIS2Camera collection, attaches background photographs, reads EXIF lens and heading metadata where available, stores custom render resolution on each camera and builds a frame-by-frame camera sequence on the Blender timeline.
