I need city blocks LIKE the Dystopia and Futuristic City Blocks they have for sale BUT something more modern and less sci-fi.
I need what it might look like in Manhattan or Chicago inner city.
Who hasn't seen Spiderman swinging through a canyon of mirrored skyscrapers or Superman jetting through to save a civilian. Something like that. :)

Some more visual reference...
You can rearrange the buildings in https://www.daz3d.com/urban-sprawl-2-the-big-city - might work.
not sure how many tall buildings are in https://www.daz3d.com/urban-sprawl-3 - perhaps someone else can comment - but that one comes with iray shaders.
I would also love just a mirrored window shader so I could make some primitive box shapes, apply the shader and VIOLA! Mirrored sky scraper in the distance.
Or get something like this and add such shaders to it? https://www.daz3d.com/terra-tropolis
Thanks for pointing that one out! I cannot believe I MISSED it. :)
Well, I have a set in mind that i will buy one day:

It's intended for After Effects, but it's in OBJ and FBX and i never saw such stunning Details with day and night textures in any cityscape set before! It's not cheap, but I think if you really need it more than one time, it could be worth it!
Just picked up this gem tio help facilitate my kitbash...

I'll try to show later what i come up with. :)
Can it be used in DS?
Yes, it's FBX.
There is a vendor in the Unity store called NoirFX that has some specific models in a couple of Retro NYC products but they are a hassle to export out of Unity in an easy to use DAZ Studio format. You can though & I've done it but there really isn't enough building included in their packages to make that 'Manhattan Skyline' or 'Manhattan Canyon' (there are only 2 sky scrapers for example and a few 'brownstone sized building that look puny by comparison) sort of look you are after, sorry. If I remember right they are $35 a piece.
You should be able to import the model in DS, but it won't have materials made for DS, so you'll probably need to do a bit of work in the surface tab to get it to look as intended.
