    I created extension to convert Google Streetview URL into cubemap. It looks like this:



    I tested converter with many URLs from http://www.mapcrunch.com/gallery

    Anybody interested?

    Looks cool! You should definitely release the source code on GitHub

    This looks fantastic! Is it available anywhere to tinker with?

    Very cool!

    However (and sorry to be serious voice but) you might want to check legal stuff a bit first -- are Google ok with people using their Street View imagery outside Google's products?

    (just want to keep us all safe from... Lawyers <goes to wash out mouth> )

    Cool -- glad to hear you're on top of the scary stuff. Do you read that as I do -- that one must pull the imagery at runtime? (though they'd probably accept cached when offline.) Kinda doubly cool - knowing each time you play, it's as up-to-date as can be!

    Oh hey, what'd it be like to combine this with World Composer! Move over Google Earth, we'll be driving, flying and Parcour'ing through the data soon!

    Kinda makes me wonder if there's a coming trend of games set in the real world - with as much real world data as we can stick in? (Traffic, weather, geometry, imagery, etc)

    (right, back to my rubbish static world game ;) )

    Cool!

    Two questions:

    1. What's the benefit of using a cubemap over just mapping a texture to the inside of a sphere?
    2. I saw you've released this on the store, Is source code included with the asset purchase?

    I want to know if the street view convertor can help to embed any iFrame and convert to Panoramic image. For Ex: we have developed customised iFrames with overlay such as
    https://www.vow360.com/varnam

    I have the iFrame code for the same, I need to embed this in my unity application. If this helps, then I will go ahead and purchase the license which could be one time.
    Pls reply asap.

    I'm having a problem, street view converter is working perfectly but is there any way to create a location when the game is running by adding the coordinates?
