Need to build a detailed city background in minutes instead of hours? We all know how time-consuming it can be to create every building one by one, which is why many artists develop complete asset libraries for the community.
Today we introduce you to City Scapes created by Bproduction. This asset library, as said before, speeds up your workflow with ready-to-use 3D city assets, perfect for realistic backgrounds or quick scene decoration.

Released last year, City Scapes supports Blender versions 4.0 to 4.5.. Nowadays it comes with a wide range of features, so let’s take a closer look.
Main Features
8K textures - All assets use 8K diffuse textures with integrated shadows, delivering sharp, realistic detail for large-scale scenes. While not intended for extreme close-ups, they are perfect for rich, believable backgrounds.

High Detail for Architectural Use – Each urban model is a faithful reproduction designed for realistic architectural projects, simulations, or cinematic scenes.

12 Major Cities – Assets inspired by 12 world capitals and iconic urban styles: Barcelona, Berlin, Copenhagen, Kyoto, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, Lyon, Monaco, New York, Paris, and Stockholm are the ones included so far in this library.

Drag and Drop – You can quickly build cityscapes by selecting and dragging assets straight into your scene. Since all models come ready to use with optimized settings, this saves a lot of time and improves the workflow overall.

Those are the main features, but if you want to see more details about this asset library, including the detailed catalog and beautiful reference images, I recommend taking a look here.
Some Alternatives
- The City Generator – A procedural city add-on that builds realistic urban layouts in seconds, with traffic simulation, night-scene controls, and export options. While City Scapes offers ready-made drag-and-drop assets, both focus on creating realistic city environments.
- City 3D Models Pack – Low-Poly Asset Pack: A large low-poly package with 414 assets, including landscapes, buildings, transportation, and more. It’s optimized for games and real-time projects, offering consistent art style and low memory usage. Unlike City Scapes, it focuses on a stylized, performance-friendly look rather than 8 K photorealism.
- CUBICITY Asset Library (Free CC-0): A completely free, procedural collection aimed at creating cute, simplified city scenes. Assets rely on Blender’s geometry nodes and procedural shaders, making them lightweight and easy to customize. It differs from City Scapes by prioritizing a playful, non-photorealistic aesthetic.
