Sky Creator to Have Cloud-Aware Lightning System

Dmitry Karpukhin, a Tech Artist and developer of the Sky Creator plug-in for Unreal Engine, released a new demo that showcases some cool features that will be added to the plug-in in the near future. According to the demo, the upcoming update will be dedicated to rain and storm, bringing realistic-looking storm clouds and a cool "cloud-aware lightning system" that will allow you to set up customizable lighting bolts that act just like real ones do. The upcoming update will be free for the existing Sky Creator users and is set to be released this September.

For those unaware, the Sky Creator plug-in is an extensive tool to control dynamic time of day and weather settings using realistic volumetric clouds and atmosphere in Unreal Engine. The plug-in allows you to create endless amounts of different-looking weather and lighting conditions and switch any of them in real-time using a built-in weather preset system.
