Provides lifelike cloud formations,
atmospheric lighting, and adaptive skyboxes
The same cloud field from a starry night through sunrise to midday. Sun direction and atmospheric color drive the lighting, so the sky and clouds change together without swapping assets.
Layered cumulus with the sun behind it. Beer-Lambert absorption gives the volumes their soft, self-shadowed underside.
Scattered cumulus on a deep blue sky. Forward scattering brightens the thin edges facing the sun while the cores stay dense.
