Where can I find good cityscape HDRI's?

metaldragonman · June 6

Hello,

I'm looking for some city HDRI's, preferably American, more east coasty. I want something with a mid range distance looking skyline, all I have been able to find are ones really far away or ones with a couple of buildings or really really close up ones. I want something heavy on the skyscrapers. Does anyone know any good places to get any?

Thanks for any help!

Would any of the following be suitable or are these too far back?

You might want to take a look at Polyhaven. They have 350 "Urban" HDRIs listed.
To be honest I can't say I have ever seen an HDRI like you described. There are other options such as creating your own skyline with 3d assets such as Greeble Cities, or using a CC0 licensed photo as a background.

CityScapes Backdrops

CityScapes Backdrops Volume 2

CityScapes Backdrops Volume 3

Those are fairly close to what I had in mind, closest I've been ble to find. They are bit far back, but it looks like I can move them? So that's probably better than a HDRI in that regard.

This might be what I have to do if I can't find anything. I took a look at Polyhaven and there's some good stuff there in general. But not quite the cities I'm after.
