Seeking City Building asset to place outside a room's windows

Hi, I have a location asset, it's a room with windows. When it renders the windows are transparent. The room should exist in a city, so I need images of buildings to place outside on the window layer.  The camera might be set at various angles so I think the buildings should probably be a 3d assets in order to match the camera angle, but they dont need to be super high resolution. Is there a city asset that  fits the bill? Thanks

    If you are using Iray, you could put a nice image on the render/sky Dome and set it to draw Dome.

    Maybe Streets would fit the bill. A dome image is certainly a lot cheaper, but 3d assets you can see, make it easier to position things and get the correct perspective. And of course, they can be used for other things.

    Note - If you're not in a hurry, I'm pretty sure Streets will be on sale during March Madness,

    thanks, I check out Streets, it is a step in the right direction... but with Streets the city looks intact if you are on the ground looking up. But my windows are supposed to be a dozen stories high. Are there any similar assets that include a few intact buildings (intact at least from the side and top) that I can place outside the window?

    Modular city blocks. You can use as many or as few as you like, or even individual buildings.

    Another option : If you use a camera with DOF , you could blur the background and even building coloured cubes could potentially do the trick (together with a nice simple skydome)
