OSM & Mapbox fixes/alternatives Feb. 11, 2026, 2:48 a.m.
Thanks! That's good to know - though as far as I understand there is still no way to get heightfield information out of them. Is the only way to get both to match OSM Import files and Mapbox heightfields by hand?
OSM & Mapbox fixes/alternatives Feb. 3, 2026, 3:10 a.m.
Hi everyone! I have been using OSM for procedural road and city block generation. But recently I think something happend with either OSM maps or the mapbox labs tool in Houdini and while it downloads maps - its not processing any/breaks on import. I think there is potentially a problem with the Python script, but I am not proficient with scripting enough to fix that. Its usually giving out "file not found" with an occasional not breaking, but outputting 0 geo.
So I was wondering if anyone has fixes/alternatives for OSM? I am looking for something that hopefully can give out height maps for terraign, curves for roads and maybe some sort of guide geometry for building placement. I have conseidered Laserscans - but the free material is limited, and its mostly good for terrain only.
Thanks!
