Sky Configuration
Categories:
Sky Colour Configuration assets define the visual appearance of the sky at different times of day. These are data assets created in the O3DE Asset Editor that the Time Manager references to drive sky color transitions as time progresses.
For asset structure and property details, see the Framework API reference.

How It Works
A Sky Colour Configuration asset defines color values for key times of day (dawn, midday, dusk, night). The Time Manager samples the configuration based on the current time of day and interpolates between the defined colors to produce smooth transitions.
Different environments (desert, forest, underwater) can use different configuration assets. Swapping the active configuration changes the sky appearance without modifying entity hierarchies.
