Skybox AI
Generate seamless 360-degree game and VR environments from text prompts.
About
Skybox AI by Blockade Labs generates seamless 360-degree panoramic environments from text descriptions and rough sketches. Instead of a flat image, it produces production-ready skyboxes with depth maps, HDRI lighting, and optional 3D meshes, usable directly in Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, Godot, and VR applications.
The tool targets game previsualization, XR experiences, and virtual production: creators can prototype world and lighting directions, generate HDRI reference lighting, and fill LED volume backplates without 3D artists or expensive photography. With over 30 style presets, up to 16K exports on higher tiers, a developer API, and native engine plugins, it has become a standard fast-path tool for indie game developers and visualization professionals.
What it can do
- Text-to-360 panoramic environment generation
- Up to 16K equirectangular exports with 32-bit HDRI
