Text prompts to 360-degree equirectangular skyboxes and HDRIs for game engines and XR headsets
Skybox AI is Blockade Labs' generator for 360-degree panoramic environments. You describe a scene, pick a style, and it returns an equirectangular image you can drop into Unity, Unreal, Blender or a headset; higher tiers add 8K and 16K exports, 32-bit HDRI lighting for scene illumination, and depth-derived 3D meshes. Blockade Labs is a US studio that has been building 360 tooling since 2018 and shipped Skybox AI in 2023. It sells per seat with monthly generation credits: five free credits to preview without export, then Essential at $20 a month for 100 credits, Standard at $48 for 300, and Business at $112 for 500 with full API access, custom rate limits and 16K output. Commercial licensing comes with every paid tier.
Essential is $20 per seat per month and buys 100 generation credits, not unlimited output. Standard $48 adds HDRI and 3D meshes, Business $112 adds the full API and 16K. The free tier is 5 credits, preview only, no exports.
Use tool ↗The most direct route from a sentence to a usable 360 environment, and the export formats are the reason to pick it — 32-bit HDRI and depth meshes mean the output lights a scene rather than just decorating a sphere. Credits are the real currency, and at 100 a month on the entry tier iterative prompting eats them quickly. Commercial rights are clean, which matters for studio work.
Watch out: The free tier looks generous until you try to save something — exports are disabled entirely on it.
