The package was created to speed up the creation of realistic day and night cycles in HDRP. Just add the selected prefab to the scene to get ready-made lighting regardless of the resources used.
Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Description

"[HDRP] Day/Night Cycle" have been created based on my Youtube tutorials.

Now you can benefit from my knowledge without the need to spend time recreating them. These prefabs are ready for immediate use and placement in your scene. It has also been enriched with several functions that were not included in the tutorial.


This asset provides full control over the atmosphere of your game, offering a range of flexible options to create dynamic, realistic transitions between day and night.


The whole thing was created based on a simple script and built-in Physically Based Sky to obtain the effect of a day and night cycle at a low performance cost.


With "[HDRP] Day/Night Cycle" creating stunning, realistic, and atmospheric environments becomes easy, fast, and enjoyable. All you need is a few seconds and a few clicks to enrich your game or project.


p.s. of course, people who want to achieve a similar effect for free can always use the tutorial and create a similar script themselves:)
