Also, I'm realizing now you could probably combine everything into a single animation player, so do that lol

how can a tutorial be as perfect, precise and helpful as this? subbed for sure!

Nice, maybe I can do this with this same method too.
I guess I just need to make the animation player 'playing' at a slower speed scale, so I can have a long day-night cycle.

I tried do this thing via code but always was a mess, I never thought about using animationPlayers until make UI and menus, and again animationPlayers fixing simple problems with simple solutions. Thx for showing and teaching those things, is a mindblow for those who are lost in how to create things in godot. ✌

Great tutorial . I will including it in the first person study project I am making by learning from your videos .

Next would love to see a tutorial on when the enemy hits us the screen gets all bloody 😁

Actually, wouldn't it be more powerful to create a singleton for timing and creating everything procedurally? This way you can make use of the signal/event system of godot and do not have to sync multiple things that should react to the day/night cycle with an animation player. This allows to actually make use of the current in-game time (e.g. turning on/off lights, controlling the amount of NPCs, adding time-dependend events, procedural realistic skyboxes, etc).

This time I finished this thing even before you uploaded it and I was able to get everything done using procedural sky and I even animated the sun

when godot hits 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 and AAA games start pouring in your channel will takeoff like never before and make you money forever, keep making these bro.

damn i didnt know you could use the animation player like that, thanks garbaj

The issue I see is that shadow colors don't match the light when it changes.
If my level starts at nighttime and goes into daytime, my shadows will always be 100% dark and it looks ugly as sin.
Seems like natural radiosity is ignored.

I used a very similar setup with animation players in a 2d project I made a year or two ago. I'm a bit miffed I didn't think to do the same thing with 3d, but I guess I assumed it wouldn't work quite the same! Thank you for proving my assumption wrong!

this looks really good, very noicee. Thanks for the tutorial

Thank you, that's a great technique and really nicely done tutorial. Glad to have subscribed to your channel as saved me even having to search for how to do this :)
