A collection of carefully wrought day/night cycles.
Ok, for now there is only one cycle available, though probably the most important one. I plan to include more but want to finish a trees retexturing project I'm working on before. I will post screenshots on the news page when I release new cycles.
.: How to use :
1/ Unzip anywhere. If you have a previous version, you can overwrite it.
2/ Open an area in the Toolset, open its properties and choose Import Properties > Environment Settings... > Day/Night Cycle Stage > All, then open the preset file of your choice.
.: Notes :
- All cycles will not fit all areas. E.g.: the natural clear weather won't work well on snowy areas (too much bright light).
- Fog end and far clip plane are generally set to their maximum distance (resp. 800 and 300). You may want to reduce it in some cases.
- Bloom settings have been made to be subtle and to keep the same overall brightness level if you ever disabled it (not recommended).
"I can imagine how long it took you to hash this out."
Not as long as building a complete area... But it was fairly difficult to obtain white clouds while not "burning" the rest with too much direct light. There are somewhat strange intricacies in the lighting system.
