✦ WATCH THE SHOWCASES

Three city skybox packs in one bundle: 30 seamless 8K panoramas of waterfront cities and skylines, from a low sun through the blue hour to full night. Every sky is stored as true HDR, so street lamps, signs and lit windows light your scene and shine in reflections.

✦ INCLUDED PACKS

  • Waterfront Cities Sunset to Night: 10 skies - still lakes, a lighthouse bay, sun rays over the water, a violet harbour, misty marinas and neon rivers lined with lit towers.

  • City Skylines Dusk to Night: 10 skies - golden harbour sunsets, a rooftop under storm clouds, a violet blue hour, teal fog and neon night skylines.

  • City Lights at Night: 10 skies - night rivers, harbours, marinas, canals, a bridge crossing and aerial views of cities after dark.

✦ EVERY PACK

  • 10 seamless skies: equirectangular 8192 × 4096, 360° × 180°.

  • True HDR: lamps, signs and lit windows store values up to 24 (a normal image stops at 1.0). Lower the exposure about 2 stops and the sky darkens while the city lights keep glowing.

  • Unreal Engine 5: 10 TextureCube assets (2048 px faces = the full 8K around the horizon) and 10 ready example levels - HDRI Backdrop, a Post Process Volume with manual exposure and a Player Start facing the skyline.

  • Unity: 10 HDR cubemaps, 10 skybox materials, a demo scene and HDRP Volume Profiles.

  • Source files: every sky as .hdr, 16-bit .exr and 8K .png for any other engine or 3D tool.

  • No dependencies: no third-party plugins, no code.

✦ FORMATS

  • Unreal Engine 5.4 and above - uses the FREE HDRI Backdrop plugin by Epic, already included with Unreal Engine and enabled in the projects.

  • Unity 2022.3 and above - Built-in Render Pipeline, URP and HDRP.

  • Additional files - .hdr, 16-bit .exr and 8K .png, 8192 × 4096.

✦ MADE FOR

  • Games: racing and driving, open-world cities, rooftop, balcony and harbour levels, menus.

  • Visualization: architecture and interiors with a city view, product and car renders.

  • Film and VR: cinematics, virtual production backgrounds, 360° VR.

✦ GOOD TO KNOW

  • HDR range: rebuilt from the light sources in the image, not from bracketed camera captures - great for highlights and reflections, not a measured light probe.

  • Looking down: some skies are softer straight down than at the horizon.
