Good to see you're posting again mate. Nobody teaches quite as goodly as you do.

[alexkolarik]

Glad to see you're back, even if I don't watch your stuff much anymore. I've moved to Godot, but your old FPS tutorial series was invaluable to me back in the day. Been needing to say this for a long time.

For everybody where the sun stops at Midday or 90° or -90°. I add an Branch and check if string (Equals exact string(===)) is 90.0 or -90.0 than add to the "Add Actor World Rotation" -> y 0.1 and this solves the Problem :)

[Albert-Freeman]

Thank you so much!! Really appreciated the fact that you added night stars :)

No smoothing group information was found in this FBX scene. Please make sure to enable the "Export Smoothing Groups" option in the FBX Exporter plug-in before exporting the file.
i cant export the Sun sphere
this is a very hard to follow video, im getting there but its not ideal for a beginner

For those getting the bad size error/collision issues after adding the skysphere mesh, make sure to change the collision settings in the skysphere mesh, Can Character Steup Up On = No, Collision Presets = NoCollision.

i follow every steps but i dont see the starts, it stays completly dark when its night

@underscore
With a lower sun speed like 5 the sun will stop at the top (string giving out -90 constantly)
What can i do?

Thanks for the great video. I tried adding some rotation to the stars skysphere, like you would see in a timelapse video. But the stars blur... not sure if that is lumen or a post process issue...

[stevematkin]

Please help, how do we play pause this day night cycle with a keyboard button?

[IstyManame]

Where is the light coming from in the night

[STMSTEAM]

And how to make it so that first there was a day and then a night?

[thebelowzerogamers]

anybody know why when i change the sun speed to 1.0 it stops at the top, when I change it to 15 it works though. Other than that great video!

[GDPModelling]

I can't find the world mesh it comes up as lambert2 and looks different to yours

[eddy-readysteady-go]

this guy jumps around too much. cant follow wth he's doing....stop drinking so, much coffee. he didnt even mention the day/night plug in smh

[mindped]

wouldnt it be bad for performance to have a 2ndary sky sphere using transparent overdraw.... why not just add the stars to a material and lerp them in or out?

[MZONED]

There he is!!! Hello mate, nice to hear you :)

[jennymcelligott]

Does anyone know how to trigger something like this in sequencer for an animation? I can't find any clear answers.

[HollowsDarkness]
