[Peter]

We just released an update for the HDRP Time of Day System both on Canopy and the Unity Asset Store. This contains a lot of fixes, but also a long list ot of new features and improvements and also a brand new demo scene for override volumes.

Changelog:

V1.1.0

• Improved installation alongside Gaia Pro 2021: If Gaia Pro 2021 is present in the project, HDRP TOD will now automatically remove the older, embedded version in Gaia - it is not required to delete files manually anymore.
• Removed Gradient Sky option (never used).
• Space rotation (Rotates the star field slowly to give a more dynamic effect).
• Improved weather transition fade in/out (If weather fx is stopped mid-way).
• Improved execution performance when processing TOD.
• Editor UX cleanup.
• Interior controllers, manage weather particle effects using AABox for collisions setup to get more realistic visuals.
• Added multi blend stages to interior controllers (Enables collisions in the blend bounds then changing audio reverb in the main bounds area).
• Added priority for interior controllers.
• Fixed shader manager get sand albedo was getting snow instead.
• Weather fx improvements.
• Cloud layer now gets applied correctly during weather transitions.

• Reflection probe system improvements when weather is transitioning in/out.

• Optimized HDRPTimeOfDayComponentType (Moved the update follow transform part of this script to HDRPTimeOfDayTransformTracker) This removes 7 update calls and just now uses only 1.
