IMPORT THE FOLLOWING TO USE THIS PREFAB:

VRCHAT SDK3 WORLD https://vrchat.com/home/download

UDON SHARP https://github.com/MerlinVR/UdonSharp/releases

BFW SIMPLE DYNAMIC CLOUDS https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/bfw-simple-dynamic-clouds-85665

I added a UI prefab, a custom reflection probe and the option to toggle sun shadows on and off. I added headers and tooltips to the script. I also commented out parts of the script specific to Nova_Max's world.

My goal was to create a comfy place to hang out with the additional feature of the day night cycle to make the world feal more immersive. I wanted everyone to be able to have fun with the day night cycle so I made the controls accessible for every player and not just the master. On the other hand the time of day and cycle speed are synced globally so everyone can enjoy the sunset at the same time or watch the stars together. I spent a lot of time optimizing the lighting and shadows so the world is able to run on all systems including quest. For that reason I was able to simplify the menu by removing most performance settings. The only settings that are still in the menu are for controlling the cycle and to toggle some of the visuals and background music.

Assets/Tools used:

Udon Sharp

Amplify Shader Editor

Unity Default Skybox

BFW Simple Dynamic Clouds

Stylized Forest Environment

You can download the day night cycle controller script here. It will definitely work with the default skybox and should also work with any procedural skybox.
