Mathew81 - HDRI 16K Ember Mist Skies

HDRI 16K Ember Mist Skies is a premium set of 4 handcrafted, seamless 16K (16384×8192) equirectangular panoramas built for cinematic, smoky atmospheres and dramatic environment lighting. These skies feature deep, dark haze with ember-like warmth—ideal for moody worlds, fantasy scenes, post-apocalyptic environments, and stylized cinematic shots.

This pack is delivered as a ready-to-use Unreal Engine 5 project and also includes the HDR and EXR panoramas as additional files so you can use them outside UE5 in any DCC or engine that supports HDRIs.
