"The art of living… is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive."

Alan Watts

This tutorial shows how to create 3D maps from anywhere in the world with Google Maps and Photoshop. Once you’ve created the 3D object, the object can be exported from Photoshop and imported in Dimension to use in your scenes. This method doesn’t require any additional premium plugins or generators.
