Attempting to create a Dubai skyline

Hi Guys,

I downloads some free assets and been playing around and learning as I go.

www.surplusanywhere.com/dubai

I need to create a realistic skyline when viewed through the windows.

I added a plane and put an image on there which looks okay from a distance but looks awful close up.

Are there a special magical method to do this or do I have find some Dubai building sets and place them in the scene.

Any tutorials or insights welcome.

Cheers

Steve Warby

Looks like you should learn how to make cube maps or skyboxes… you only need one of those.

Thanks for the info but I can’t see anything relating to enclosing a large are within a cube map.

The cubemap (or skybox) is intended for the purpose of viewing things you cannot reach. It’s purpose is to replace the billboards you use, and it doesn’t get closer or further as you move around. It’s purpose is to solve your issue with billboards.

Skybox. Which is a cubemap.

You generate or purchase them. Unity can also generate them from other scenes

Skybox Material. Once it’s set up correctly, you can remove your billboards.
