Zawiszy Czarnego Urban Street HDRI Environment Map

Zawiszy Czarnego is an HDRI environment map featuring a daylight urban street scene with soft, natural lighting for 3D rendering. This high-dynamic-range environment map captures an urban street corner featuring a multi-storey building with a grey masonry facade and white window frames. The foreground includes a paved stone sidewalk and asphalt road, bordered by mature green trees and hedging. The lighting conditions represent a soft, partly cloudy afternoon, providing balanced, low-contrast illumination suitable for architectural visualisation. The equirectangular projection ensures seamless 360-degree coverage, capturing the architectural scale and surrounding streetscape with natural colour temperature and ambient light distribution, making it a versatile asset for placing projects in a realistic, established urban context.

The download is a 6.5 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.

Load this.hdr file directly into the environment or background slot of your preferred rendering engine. Adjust the rotation to align the primary light source with your scene's intended sun position. Because the map contains real-world lighting information, it provides accurate reflections on glass and metallic surfaces while contributing to indirect global illumination. Ensure your exposure settings are calibrated to take advantage of the dynamic range, typically using the map as both the primary light source and background environment for consistent reflections.
