YCDIVFX has released a new tool that allows you to download Google Streetview images in panorama format that can then be used for lighting or creating reflection maps. Find out more on www.ycdivfx.com.
Funny ! I just yesterday started to play with the idea to develop such a tool implemented directly inside 3ds Max. I then read up about to Google Licensing terms, and learned that if the software which downloads Google Street View data is SOLD (=costs money), the developer/seller has to buy into a plan for Google Street View. This is what i get from this Google Maps pricing page: https://developers.google.com/maps/pricing-and-plans/
This stopped me from really starting to go further. So the question arises:
Does Panorama Extractor adhere to those licensing terms, did i understand something wrong regarding the licensing terms or is Panorama Extractor in a grey area here ?
