Sky 029 Warm Horizon HDRI

About this asset

A broad blue sky opens above a warm sunset horizon, with a few orange-lit clouds near the right side and a black lower half in the preview.

Lighting and scene uses

Try this sky for a product silhouette or an architectural exterior where the horizon should provide a warmer accent. The larger clear area gives reflections room to read without a dense cloud pattern. Keep material color unchanged while comparing the blue upper light and the warmer horizon contribution.

Resolution and map details

The product page lists 10K, 6K, 3K, 1K files in .hdr format. Choose the resolution for the detail visible in the final camera framing and reflections. The web image above is a compressed preview; use the purchased HDR file to light your scene.

The supplied image shows the sky with black below it. Preserve this layout when previewing the panorama; add your own ground or foreground geometry for a complete scene. The JPEG preview cannot establish the lighting contribution of the purchased map below the horizon.
