How to make a smooth transition between Skyboxes

[Spare_Access (Lord_Wither)]

My game currently uses different Skyboxes for weather, however, what I gate about Skyboxes is that there isn’t any way to create smooth transition, it’s instant abd looks unrealistic, is there a way to make skybox transitions smooth, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This is just a guess but have you tried tween service?

Maybe change the Skybox when it reaches night time?

You may be aware of TweenService, which can be used to animate just about any arbitrary property of any instance - allowing animation of UI components, camera position, size and color of parts, etc. TweenService is a powerful tool, but also requires lots of manual table creation and scripting knowledge. The TweenSequence Editor is a plugin for the creation of TweenService animations using a visual editor, no scripting required! It is especially useful for animating UI components along with th…

Well you’re really limited to choices here, since there isn’t exactly a specific option to “smoothly” transition skyboxes in Studio by default

@jcnruad900 Skies don’t have a Transparency property What you can do is blend an image your original skybox with your space skybox in an image-editing program and change the transparency / opacity of your original skybox to change to the space skybox, or vice versa. Of course, this is very time consuming because you’ll be making a lot of frames and uploading them to roblox, and you’d have to repeat on all other 5 sides. You could find an online tool / resource for this, maybe… I have another i…

@XdJackyboiiXd21 He’s wanting to tween 2 skyboxes (From what I’m assuming to be a smooth transition from 1 to the next), not the time

Ah I have heard a lot about this. For this, it is best to use a “fake skybox” where basically there is a huge sphere with inverted faces and put the texture as the skybox. You can place this sphere either at the center of the world or to make it follow the camera. Check out some posts about fake skyboxes.
