This code is something I wrote yesterday, for a project that involved my weather library, and creating a day and night cycle, this model is a what I would consider a shader, it modifies the terrain color and the properties of the lighting via a data format I wrote, the weather influences the lighting and just about every property of the lighting is included.
If you wish to learn about making the best lighting shaders this resource is a good thing to look into. I wanted to share this code without publishing my weather effects library, so I disabled that functionality, but it’s very simple to implement with a value that represents the weather dictionary key. The source code is included here and in an example model with an actor.

The features I would like to highlight is;
- LerpTerrainColor function that gradually changes the terrain color to the desired shade.
- Night time, Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Midnight mapping to desired lighting effect of every property of the lighting.
- Weather Influence. Influence the lighting via your weather effects.
- Dynamic Sun Latitude Positioning that changes depending on the player’s position,
- Looping Day/Night Cycle,
- Very performant, uses less than a third of a percent of resources on most devices. (tween service) Only one tween is played at a time, and implementation of task.desynchronize where possible.
- Artificial Sun, a light source is positioned where the sun is in the sky (impemented as a spotlight facing the player) a specified radius from the player, enhancing the effect of the sun and allowing for custom sun colors.
- Snippets showing examples of additional features, I had to disable some minor features to share this from my project. Included are commented sections demonstrating resetting the day/night cycle when say a character goes to sleep and wakes up. Or You have weather, have a dynamic sun size.
- Applies noise to the color for every cycle adding more variance to the appearance of the atmosphere.
This currently only uses native objects such as lighting, and terrain, and a light emitter to be an alternative to Depth of field, Blur and Bloom or you could add that functionality yourself and I may do it myself and update this resource.
