Unparalleled realism every time. Whether you need the correct radianceof light from the sun and sky, or the physically accurate volumes to diffuse the light. You'll get that each and every time.
Built using physical, real-world properties
Built for complete control over color. With support for ACES color space and AgX enabled as the default workflow, you'll get the purest color reproduction out of the box.
Simple controls all in one easy to manage place. Control the Sky, time, clouds and fog all from one panel. We even have controls for managing performance.
Day/Night. Sky. Clouds. Fogs.
All you need for total creative freedom. With a user interface designed to guide you through each function, giving even beginners ways to create beautiful visuals with ease.
Automatic transition between day and night, just drop the sun...
The need to know basics of TrueSKY
Achieve physically accurate lighting from the sun and sky with complete control over your environment. Easily make changes and create animations using our intuitive click-to-place options and sun-position integration.

Enjoy a built-in night cycle with seamless control. Adjust the time by lowering the sun and watch as the night sky comes alive. Easily manage the moon's phases, location, strength, and size to create the perfect nighttime scene.
Stars, Nebula, Black-holes. You can use the procedural night sky to generate stars, or use some of our original night sky HDRi's.
Procedural volumetric clouds, just like the real thing. Add clouds to your scene with one-click! Animate them and control how much coverage or density they have and watch as they interact correctly with the sky and your scenes.
Volumetric atmosphere and fog. Built into the sky shader you can control haze and exponential fog. In the 'Fog' panel you have options for rolling fog and surface fog.
No, this version of the addon does not support Eevee right now as we wanted to focus on the creating the most physically accurate clouds and lighting we could. However we are actively working on Eevee compatibility
We do have optimisations built-in to help reduce render times and keep quality as high as possible; however, we can't advise what render times you will see as there are too many factors to give an accurate answer. All we can say is that rendering on a CPU will be slower than a GPU and using mobile variants (laptops etc) will be slower again.
We would advise that using a modern GPU will give you fastest results. The more compute cores (CUDA/OPTIX/Stream Processors) the faster your renders will be.
True-Sky offers a full day/night system, clouds, fogs and world volume. It offers controls for all of these options, and optimisation features for your machine. We do not offer weather phenomena like Northern lights, rainbows, tornadoes etc.
You can use True-Sky in any RENDERS for any purpose, be that education, personal or commercial. You cannot sell, repackage or distribute the addon in any way.
HERE is the documentation for True-Sky
Because you all keep asking for us to do them... So here you go. Sky presets for those of you who want to jump straight in!
You're in control!
There isn't a sky from dawn to dusk that you can't create. Need to make Alien worlds? Enable the binary star.
Need a hazy morning, set the sun low and enable Haze
You're super seriously in control...
Now you just use the "click to place" button in the UI and PRESTO; You can click anywhere in the 3d viewport to place your sun!
We should get a Nobel Prize or something for that one
You're super SUPER seriously in control...
Sick of never knowing where your lighting is coming from while in 'solid' view mode?
Not anymore! Click "Use Sun Lamp" and then rotate it around to get that lighting casting on the exact side you want! No more guessing while not in rendered mode.
7 Different types to get you started. Clouds really bring a scene to life, especially when the lighting is affected by them!
Cloud Shadows anyone???
All the controls you need.
Need to move the clouds, controls for that! Need to make more... Yep
Need to make them thicker, or cover more clear sky?
We got all the controls to make your clouds look amazing!
Up-to 50% render time reductions! FIFTY PERCENT FASTER than True-Sky 2.0
To be fair, this button will make your renders less physically accurate, but only to a trained eye. We like to keep it honest around here!
True-Sky make it super easy to create a moody, atmospheric scene in minutes! No longer will you have to worry about using the dreaded 'Mist' pass in the compositor!
We did it!
We only went and built a beautiful dynamic night system with 8 different night HDRi's, a custom SDF moon for full control, and light pollution to mimic cities and towns in the background!
It ain't 'True' if it doesn't have haze!
The world we know has particles in the sky, those particles produce haze... Now we bestow this great power upon you!
We all love fog!
Same as above... Earth has water, Sun heats water up. Water evaporates into the air, sometimes it hangs there; this is FOG.
We give you Fog
MORE FOGGGGSSS
We also made some 'Hero' Fogs. It's great having the world shader stuff, but sometimes you just need a really nice, detailed and animatable fog to cover your terrains!
Rolling fog (Shown above) and Surface fogs are the ones you can add to any scene to give it a bit more mood
Our Community is awesome, and here's a few of the renders that's been posted there. Come and join us all at our Discord
This is for the creatives that are looking for the most realistic Skies out there.
If you need to create a scene and light it with the most physically accurate world lighting, atmosphere and clouds; True-Sky is the tool for you!
On that note, True-Sky is powered by Cycles to make it as accurate as possible. This does come with the drawback of longer render times than other Sky tools, but we all know that "perfection takes time"
If you're still struggling to decide, check out this tutorial we've made to see just how simple and easy it is to use!
