What is Blockade Labs (Skybox AI)?

Generate HDRI skyboxes and panoramas for games and 3D in minutes

Blockade Labs Skybox lets creators produce 360° environments from text prompts and edits, then download in formats suited for game engines and DCC tools. Users can remix styles, extend scenes, and export true 32 bit HDRI for lighting. Pro plans raise generation limits, unlock 8K outputs, watermark free exports, and commercial licensing, while higher tiers add API access and mesh export for advanced pipelines. Skybox is popular for concepting mood and lighting quickly without manual painting. Teams use it to prototype levels, previz cinematics, and build background plates for web or VR experiences, then refine in Unreal, Unity, or Blender. The service continues to expand with features like style blending and priority queues for professional users.
