Here's a super useful tool for Unreal users.
Have a look at Sky Creator, an extensive tool that lets users tweak dynamic time of day and weather settings using realistic volumetric clouds and atmosphere in Unreal Engine 4. The tool comes with a built-in weather preset system to generate different-looking weather and lighting conditions and tweak them in real-time.
The developer notes that you need to turn on Niagara to display some weather FX such as rain and snow. The pack also includes two example blueprint controllers at "SkyCreatorPlugin Content/Blueprints".
Features:
- Built upon native Volumetric Cloud & Sky Atmosphere components allowing high scalability
- Unified two-layered Volumetric Cloud material
- Weather Presets: allows you to create endless amounts of different looking weather and lighting conditions
- Modular design: you can easily control Sky Creator settings with your own time manager
- Highly art-directable and customizable: from vast realistic cloudscapes to stylized looking skies
- Simplified orbital model: you can set a custom time for dawn, sunrise, sunset, dusk and for moon as well
- Lightweight (as possible) and relatively easy to use
- Game-ready optimization
- Built-in Weather FX: Rain and Snow
- Photorealistic Starmap with rotation, moon phases, etc.
- 26 included Weather Preset examples - clear, cloudy, foggy, overcast, stylized, etc.
