Skybox Blender is a tool that helps you transition through an unlimited amount of HDRI (cubemaps) skyboxes or blend two together using a custom shader. It enables smooth and soothing transitions, ideal for effects like day/night cycles. The system features an intuitive custom inspector that abstracts the entire workflow, making it easy to use while still offering full control via system APIs. It supports both the built-in rendering pipeline and URP. Key features include blend speed, wait time, rotation, rotation speed and degree, loop settings, automatic updates of lighting and reflections, and the ability to stop or resume blending. The asset updates world lighting and reflections in sync with the skybox transitions, with optional frame-based updates for performance optimization. A comprehensive set of APIs allows developers to check blending status, iterate through skyboxes, navigate to specific skyboxes by index, pause and resume blending, cancel ongoing blends, reset skyboxes, and control rotation parameters. Skybox Blender is compatible with mobile devices, Android Multiview, VR, PC, and other platforms. The package includes thorough documentation, fully-commented source code, and three demo scenes featuring skybox transitions to guide users through setup and usage. A demo video is available for further reference.
