HDRI place adjustment - how to move other than rotating?

Hello there,

I feel like this is not gonna work since HDRI are not that adjustable anyway, but I give it a try
the project I am working on is on the 4th floor so almost 60feet/20m higher than ground level
I cannot find a suitable HDRI to see a higher-level horizon so I tried some random urban HDRI and can’t get any better results it always shows the closet level (street level) which makes sense as HDRI is only an image.

is there any proper way to show a high-level urban horizon other than setting the image in Photoshop?

I tried “basic model>arc” but did not get a good result.
I feel like it is gonna work better using HDRI other than the “basic model”.

Has anyone tried something that worked already?

regards,
Nima

Hi, I found these images, doing a search on Google, “HDRI view of a building”, it gave me several images in HDRI. Some are paid and others are free.Or try with Google Earth Pro if you find a site with bird’s eye views, with Street View Download 360° you can copy the code and it will give you the image you want, I’ll give you some images that I downloaded.

Thank you so much,

Yeah I had to try these keywords before starting a new topic.
I think these works fine. appreciate that.

Also my main issue with basic model object and adding image to it was that it blocks the sun light which I found out I can edit these by checking " invisible ray tracing" checkbox.

Every day a new thing I learn in D5.

Hi! Thanks so much for your advice. We do not support for adjustment other than rotating now. But I think this is a good idea. :heart:
