Can Forma utilize Street GL which graphically renders the open street map buildings. Or maybe a condensed version to safe file space. Has someone created an extension for this feature? This would make the existing buildings surrounding the sites look more realistic than plain white boxes than the basic open street map.
Just curious, where does street.gl type rendering make a difference for you? Does that help you in creating better design decisions or does that help you better communicate internally? or does it helps in talking with client or something else altogether?
In product team, we are balancing simplicity with quality and the above answer helps us better understand your needs.
The existing buildings can have an influence on a design. Knowing the existing buildings colors and being able to show a client a more real-world render for their project helps. For us, not having to spend time coloring an existing building in a render saves us time which in turn saves our client money.
