Suburban Night Street Environment HDRI Map

This equirectangular HDRI environment map provides a realistic suburban night scene with warm artificial street lighting and deep shadows. Captured at night, this 360-degree panorama captures a quiet suburban street scene. The environment features a grassy verge, paved road surfaces, and distinct concrete structures, all illuminated by the warm glow of a nearby street lamp. The composition includes mature trees and shrubs, providing natural texture against the dark, night-time sky. The lighting setup is designed for high-contrast results, with the primary light source originating from the lamp, casting long, defined shadows across the ground plane. It is a useful asset for establishing realistic night-time ambient light and reflections in exterior architectural visualisations.

The download is a 6.8 MB file containing a 2K equirectangular high-dynamic-range environment map, ready to load as dome or world lighting in Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp renderers, Unreal Engine and D5.

To integrate this environment into your rendering workflow, load the.hdr file into your software's world or environment lighting slot. Because it is a high-dynamic-range file, ensure your renderer is set to interpret the exposure correctly to maintain the contrast between the street lamp and the dark surroundings. Adjust the rotation of the map to align the light source with your project's primary light fixtures. For optimal performance, use the provided 2K version for background plates and reflections, adjusting the intensity multiplier as needed.
