@@EvilXero359Definitely a show I want to check out someday but the length and convoluted watch order put me off haha

@@UE5Poseidon 1st thing that came to mind when I saw your tutorial. One question, these materials will they be free for a very long time or is it a limited time only? And about The X Files, you can rent or buy all the seasons in KZbin or if you have a PlayStation and can login to the PlayStation network you can check it out that way.

I am working on a car videogame inspired by need for speed most wanted 2012. Do you advise me to use this method or instead should I just add a function in the level's blueprint that makes sun rotating to simulate day/night timing? which one is more beautiful and realistic and better on performance? Thank you in advance!

If you want day/night then this won't work since it uses the sun as the moon for the main light source. Look wise I think this looks better but it will need some changes to the set up to make it work. You could do something like Minecraft maybe where it just rotates back and forth and then blend the other values such as light colour and post processing. There are no performance issues with this one since it just modified the template one.
