Buildings and Trees at Night HDRI

About this asset#

Buildings and Trees at Night HDRI pairs image-based lighting with this environment: street lamps illuminate an open grassy area at night, with trees and low buildings fading into a dark background.

Lighting and scene uses#

Use the street-lit setting to explore an evening prop or small urban scene. Keep lamp positions consistent with any visible local lights. Judge the subject at a realistic exposure instead of lifting every dark part of the panorama; foreground geometry is still needed for contact shadows.

Resolution and map details#

The product listing specifies 10K, 6K, 3K, 1K files in .hdr format and identifies the map as unclipped. The web image is a compressed preview; load the purchased HDR file as your environment texture to use its lighting data. Choose the map resolution according to the detail visible in your background and reflections.

The creator reports 29 EVs of dynamic range. This is a product specification, not a measurement made from the JPEG preview.

Compare lighting in your workflow#

Use the HDRI ground plane workflow to align the horizon and establish contact shadows. The Blender environment lighting guide covers a repeatable setup for rotating and comparing maps.

Compare Moonlit Forest HDRI with this environment to evaluate street-lit night surroundings with nearby buildings. Keep camera, material and exposure consistent while judging the difference.

Compare Night, Square and Castle HDRI when you need a lamp-lit night square beside a stone castle tower. Use the same camera and material to assess the lighting change.

Compare Night, Square and Lights HDRI when you need an open night square ringed by street lights. Use the same camera and material to assess the lighting change.
