Update: Please make sure all instances of chrome are closed before trying to inject Renderdoc into chrome.

tools:
1. Blender 3.0: https://www.blender.org/
2. MapsModelsImporter v0.4.1 by Élie Michel: https://github.com/eliemichel/MapsMod...
3. Renderdoc v1.17: https://renderdoc.org/
4. Everything Search (optional): https://www.voidtools.com/

chrome shortcut target :
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET RENDERDOC_HOOK_EGL=0 && START "" ^"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe^" --disable-gpu-sandbox --gpu-startup-dialog"

if chrome is saved in Program Files instead of Program Files (x86) then use this:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET RENDERDOC_HOOK_EGL=0 && START "" ^"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe^" --disable-gpu-sandbox --gpu-startup-dialog"

to can capture a larger parcel but still high-quality, zoom out in your chrome browser (ctrl + scroll or the three dots in the upper right corner)
