HDRP Time Of Day – Lighting, Weather & Clouds is a full-featured lighting, sky, and weather system with a day-night cycle and volumetric clouds.
-Latest version – 1.2.2
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.
Additional compatibility information:
- The package works only in HDRP in Unity 2021.3 and above.

Description:
- Did you ever create a great outdoors scene in Unity, but were let down by the lighting?
- Lighting can be one of the biggest challenges in the HD render pipeline – there are so many settings that influence the result.
- It is easy to take the wrong turn and end up with a completely misconfigured scene, especially under the dynamic conditions of a running day-and-night cycle. This just gets even more difficult when you add in clouds and weather as well.
- But, when lighting and post-fx are done right, it can transform a mediocre scene into something full of wonder and joy, and this is what HDRP Time Of Day can do for you!
More About:
- HDRP Time of Day is a lighting system with a day-and-night cycle, volumetric clouds, and weather effects out of the box, and all are managed from one convenient place.
- It also contains a weather effects system that allows you to simulate the change in lighting that occurs during snow, rainfall, sandstorms, or your custom weather effects.
- Our dynamic lighting probe system allows you to use baked reflection probes in a dynamic day and night cycle to get a rich balanced depth to your scene which is difficult to achieve otherwise.
- HDRP Time of Day is integrated with Gaia Pro 2021, and GTS – Glype Terrain Shader so that weather effects are transparently replicated across your entire scene!
Features:
HDRP Day and night cycle with light, sky, and post-processing adapting to the current time of day and weather.
- Seamlessly tune the most important aspects of your HDRP lighting setup during the different times of day with curves and gradients.
- Weather Effect System with Rain, Snow, and Sand Storms – Extensible so you can add in your weather effects. (Weather effects rendering on the terrain will require a compatible terrain shader, e.g. GTS)
- Reflection Probe system to support a baked global reflection probe with changing lighting conditions.
- Profile-based – save your favorite settings to use them in other scenes/projects.
- Fully compatible with native HDRP features/effects.
- Night sky with stars and moon.
- Local override volumes.
