Blender Unresponsive

[arihant2math]

Blender and OS versions

Blender 2.93, Windows 11

Describe the bug

When getting osm or strm data from the web, blender is unresponsive.

How to Reproduce

Get a random spot on the earth, make sure it is quite large, San Fransisco would do, then get STRM, blender will not respond for a bit, its worse with osm.

Solution

Use threading, for OSM, it would just be creating buildings one by one. For STRM, it would slowly modify the mesh.

These tools need to download data from external servers. This process can take time (espacially OSM with a large urban area), futhermore these servers can be overloaded and taking time to respond. For now, there is no way to start building objects/mesh while the download process in not complete. You proposition would require a huge refactoring of the code base to perform chunk download. However, the speedup gain will always depend on external servers answer capacity whitch I cannot garanty here.

Similar for me:

Blender and OS versions

Blender 2.93.5, macOS Catalina.

Describe the bug

After getting Google Satellite data, Blender turns non-responsive.

How to Reproduce

• Start Blender
• Choose GIS > Web Geodata > Basecamp
• Select source: Google, layer: Satellite, click ok button => Small square world map shows
• press "g"
• Type: Go To: "Wismar", select zoom level: 16, click ok button => selected satellite data loads fine => the view can be shifted in any direction with the mouse and new data loads, but otherwise, Blender is totally non-responsive, no menu entries can be selected, the GIS menu is gone, no SRTM contour lines can be loaded

There are no errors in the console
