Mirrored Canyon-Modern day City Blocks

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. :)

    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

    Well, I have a set in mind that i will buy one day: 

    https://www.videocopilot.net/products/3d/metropolitan/

    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!

    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.
