Screnshots:

 

Looks great so far, thats what i have been looking for, something to fake atmosphere with gradient, keep it up!

 

Thanks Sir.
Yes it's what i'm trying to get, a sky with gradient because if you want fog but you want another color in the top, you can't with the others sky systems.
It will have dinamic fog too

 

Exactly thats why, you are free of using fog or to use different fog color than fake atmosphere. Cant wait for more updates.

 

Thanks i'm writing more fast than i can, hahah.
I have some ideas for the next updates of this system.
The dinamic fog will have a checkbox and independent colors.

 

New Screenshot
Fog Smooth with terrain and the sky system.
Notice the gradient of the colors.

 

Another Update, now you can choose how many fog you want and what type of fog.
Notice the smooth between the water/terrain with the sky, now it's less than before

UPDATED INFO!

If you can add one thing to this plugin what it would be?
Also, how much you will pay for this asset?

Thanks in advance.
KirbyRawr.

 

Tested on Android with LG Optimus 2x
That's the proof:


The cloud's height can be adjustable.

 

Added a poll to the post.

 

Looks interesting.
I will be following this.

Just one question though. How much of your sky system is based on RealSky?

 

This looks fantastic on IOS, keep rocking on updates.

 

Nothing, all is different for example:
-Your sky is based on textures instead of draw colors into the mesh directly
-It synchronize in a different form because i added a calendar and a dinamic game time.
-The shader is a particle shader modified.
-And for example the light will be dinamic, i mean with rotation
All is made by scratch
Thanks^^

 

Thanks Janpec, i will post a webplayer soon!

 

Thanks KirbyRawr.

It is good to see a new approach to creating a dynamic sky.
I wish you the best of luck.

 

Thanks, i will have your asset in my signature, don't worry ^ ^.
Because your asset is very good, and easy.
Mine is centered in personalization.

 

I got it!, now the synchronization works perfectly in real time, i'm adding a variable for changing the speed, when i will have it done i will post it in Asset Store, but first i need to fix some things and add more new cool features ^^

 

Added Sun intensities and Colors, i attached a screenshot in the main post, if you want to see a feature in this system tell me, maybe i can do it.
I'm planning to add moon with phases soon and more cool things.
The events are done and i will attach an example in JS for use them correctly.
Thanks. KirbyRawr

 

Added Seasons, maybe i will do a simple shader for water, for freezing it on Winter.
You can choose when the Season start.

By the way, i did some tests and this system works perfect on Open GL 1.0 and on Shader Model 1.
Another Screenshot, Journey Style!:

 

Seasons update!:
Now you can change the color of the grass, maybe i will do it for trees too, for example if there are snow the trees will be with snow (sorry for my awful English)

 

Looking good. Is sun and moon position controllable by real world cordinates system?
Also any plans to add a real star map, that if effected by time, date and position also.

 

Thanks sir, the moon is not done yet, what do you mean by real world cordinate? the transform of the object?.
Mmmm the stars are particles at the moment but if you show me an example maybe i can do it ^^.
Thanks in advance KirbyRawr.

 

Added Temperature based on random ranges it depends of each seasons, and day phase.
The weather will be based on temperature and other random ranges, i will add a farenheit or celsium system in the future.

 

New addition: "Splash Textures" for every season, you can fill the screen with a texture for "Hide" the change between the seasons.
The Splash's are totally customizables and they have a fade effect.

 

Another Update more:
I added stars, they blink and it's a particle system so you can change all the things you want, maybe i will do it on the script too.
You can see colour clouds now. The colors are customizables depending of the phase and they will smooth between them.


I added colours for ambient light and a checkbox for it.
I'm working on changing trees too depending of the season, but i want the code more clean so maybe i will use arrays.
That's the proof:

Another thing i want to add is particles for trees and for the environment like birds etc...
I will try to get it to the store this week, but i want to add a lot of things, and i need to test the system deeply.
Thanks KirbyRawr

 

And here is the result:

Now you can change trees too, for example in winter some trees don't have leaves, you can put a tree without leaves.

 

Looking good.
It sure has come a long way.

 

Thanks BlackRain i sent you a email.

 

Moon added, it will have phases.
It's resizable.
I will do an option for render behind the clouds.
Added an option if you don't want to use terrain.
Added New trajectory system for Sun and Moon, more precise.
Redesigned the depth camera.

 

What thing you think it can be good for this package, give a good one and maybe you can win one SkyProject.

 

Asked for a 30 days pro license to Unity for check Sun shafts and more things.
I added a new synchronization system for the moon and the sun, now it's more precise and easy.
You can change the speed at runtime too!.
The moon will be render behind the clouds or not, depending of the user.
I'm going to add birds etc... because the sky is boring.
Also i'm going to change the clouds system or upgrade it.

 

Adding weather, also i was playing with effects.
This screenshots are from unity indie:

The terrain is from http://kostiantyn-dvornik.blogspot.com.es/2013/01/unity-4-cool-sweet-terrain-tutorial.html and it's not included in the package.

 

Updated the post with more info and the final price.

Also i added the Rain System.
The Rain will collide with every mesh in the world, so you can do roofs etc.. and the rain won't pass(Except if the wind is strong, haha).
It have splashs too.
The Rain will change the colors of the sky too and the fog.
The Rain occurs when the temperature is between the main temperature, the percent is high and the season is not dry.(It's changeable of course).



EDIT: I want to do an editor script for better organization and better look, also it will save the colors if you want when in play mode you change them

 

And here is the work in progress Editor !, it's getting better every day.



And a screenshot ^^

 

Finishing the Editor Script and doing the ultimate fixes and improvements!.

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaan Editor Finished, i need to put more icons but it's easy.



Today i will upload it into Asset Store, hope they will accept it.
Also i'm planning the future updates you can see them in the first post.
Thanks KirbyRawr.

 

New Moon Shader:

The Moon now renders behind the clouds.
I will change the stars system aswell for render behind.
The plugin will be getting to asset store soon.

I think when it comes to selling assets, going as cheap as comfortably possible is best, more people will buy.

 

I know what you say, i mean i work a lot of hard on this plugin and spent a lot of time but yes people want to buy it cheap, the problem is the conversion dolar - euro, and the tax of unity store.
How much do you think it's good for this?, considering all the work and the possibilities.

Thanks in advance KirbyRawr

 

Price dropped (Maybe it will increase with updates, but remember you buy it one time, free updates) , also doing volumetric clouds, i want to polish every detail before upload it to Asset Store

 

NEWS:
-I'm on holidays and i can't do a lot here but i managed to get a lot of good things for the plugin, also i'm bugfixing a little things before getting it into the asset store.
-Here is the new Editor :
-I fixed some things related to the transitions.
-I'm fixing one thing more with terrain and i will update the grass colouring system, i prefer it individual with arrays.
The price will be 40$ two days because if you sell cheaper you will get more than if you put it high.
-In the next updates i want to get more weather into the system and maybe volumetric clouds.
-Also i want to put two managers, the mobile manager and the desktop manager.
-Maybe i will include a 2D system prefab too.

Thanks, if everyone have a suggestion put it here.

 

Uploaded to Unity Store, i noticed a bug related with the stars showing during the day but i will fix it in the next version, also i will put a global color for the sky for allow the user more control of the sky colors.
The price is 40$ the first two days.
The updates will raise the price more higher.
I included documentation examples and more things.

Thanks KirbyRawr

 

They reject it because some silly errors (I'm stupid for have them xD), but now it's fixed and i'm uploading a new version to the store.
Also i added more documentation and a new cool feature for the sun:

 

Resubmited and waiting for the aproval, i'm playing with perlin noise for make the clouds better and more dinamic, also i'm fixing some random things like rain fade and more things.
The last thing i added is:

 

Hi,

great work but can you tell me what defiant between uni-storm and Sky Project.can you have real time GI.

 

Hi thanks Play_Edu, well i don't know how unistorm works in many aspects but i can explain a little more my project.
By Real Time you mean for example, i'm on Spain 11:18 and other for example is in Canada (+6 hours) 17:18?, if not tell me please ^^".
Well, my system have a lot of variables for playing with them; colors of the sky, seasons, the color of the grass, the trees of the seasons, the percentage of the rain etc...

I'm planning on add a lot of features, maybe unistorm have a lot of things because it have like a year (atleast the post) mine have two months.
But both systems are good, and differs on many things.

If you like to suggest something maybe i can do it.

And thanks for reply to my post.
Good Day. KirbyRawr

 

Added Calendar Scene:



Updated to Unity 4.2

 

New updates!:
-Scene Update.
-Fixed some issues in the scripts.
-Now the billboard script will get the camera automatic.
-Updated examples.




I'm going to try to get it into the asset store.

For the next update i will fix the fall of the sun (Fade in the night), and i will add fog settings when it will rain.
Maybe i will do a specific system for mobile with less drawcalls and things.
I need to add the things in the TODO-List too
Rome wasn't built in one day, haha

 

Submitted and waiting, new screenshots with realtime shadows:

 

SkyProject 1.1 is now live on the Asset Store, the price is 40$ the first week, i need to fix a lot of minor things and add more content that's why the price is 40$.
