Time of day and atmosphere in Blender 5.2 - measured sky + sun for dawn, morning, noon, golden hour, sunset, blue hour, overcast, night/moonlight with stars and city glow, exposure balance, height fog from visibility, god rays, Cycles vs EEVEE volumes, compositor grade, stylized moods (cyberpunk neon, horror, underwater, desert). Use for any day/night, sunset, foggy or mood lighting scene.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Time of Day & Atmosphere

The execution model is in `blender-core`. Studio and product lighting are in `blender-lighting-lookdev`, render settings in `blender-rendering`, and rain, snow, wetness and lightning in `blender-weather-fx`.

## One call
```
scripts/scene_mood.py -- --time golden                       # sun 6 deg, warm, long shadows
scripts/scene_mood.py -- --time night --fog-visibility 250   # moonlight + stars + haze
scripts/scene_mood.py -- --time noon --overcast 0.8          # soft grey day
scripts/scene_mood.py -- --mood cyberpunk                    # moonless, neon rim pair, fog, bloom
scripts/scene_mood.py -- --time morning --fog-visibility 120 --fog-height 4   # valley fog
```
Times: `noon morning afternoon golden sunrise sunset blue_hour night moonless`. Moods: `cyberpunk horror underwater desert` (each sets defaults that explicit flags override). Override the sun with `--elevation DEG` (negative = below the horizon) and `--heading DEG` (0 = +Y, 90 = +X). If you leave out `--heading`, the sun sits 135° from the camera's view direction, which gives side/back light that shows form. Front light looks flat.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add el4cteo/blender-skills/blender-time-of-day@sha256:db75a31b6c4f7ab8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
