OSM to SiAuthor: mr_alca @si-community
updated March 2025 — A set of ICE tree nodes to open OSM (Open Street Map) files and convert them to geometry. Imports features such as buildings, streets and trees and has a number of conversion options, for example for building height etc.

See the si-community thread for example renders. From the zip's readme: installation : put in a similar directory: c:/Users/Alex/Autodesk/Softimage_2015_R2-SP2/Application/Plugins/nt-x86-64/osm_to_si_19
If you need compounds, place the OSM_to_Si folder in a similar directory: c:/Users/Alex/Autodesk/Softimage_2015_R2-SP2/Data/Compounds
The weld vertex function is quite slow, so you should not use it on large objects.
You can download the OSM map here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/55.40032/43.83536 (limited number of nodes) / http://extract.bbbike.org/ (unlimited number of nodes)
