SkyFlow
Procedural Sky & Animated Clouds

Create a complete animated sky in one click.

SkyFlow combines a physical sky, a synchronized Sun lamp and three layers of procedural clouds that drift and evolve with your timeline. Shape your sky, set the mood.

Everything is procedural, with no HDRIs or image textures required, and every control can be keyframed.

01 — ONE-CLICK SETUP
Start with a preset, make it your own
1Choose a preset.
2Press Setup SkyFlow. The add-on creates the World, the Sun lamp and the drivers that connect them. Your previous World stays available in the file.
3Make it your own: control sunlight, atmospheric haze, cloud shapes and motion from one sidebar panel.
02 — CONNECTED SUN & SKY
One slider moves the sun, the sky and the light

Change Sun Elevation to adjust the sky colors, the sun position and the synchronized lamp lighting together.

Customize sun direction, color, disc size and brightness, with optional automatic lamp fading at sunset.

03 — CLOUD LAYERS
Three layers that drift and evolve

Build depth with three independently controlled cloud layers at different relative altitudes. Adjust each layer's color, coverage, softness, size and stretch, from scattered clouds to thin cirrus streaks.

Cloud drift and shape morphing run directly from the timeline. Adjust wind and morph speed for gentle movement or faster time-lapse sequences, and use the seed, rotation and position controls to refine your composition.

04 — LIGHT, HAZE & SHADING
Refine the atmosphere and the clouds

Shape the atmosphere with dust, air density and horizon haze.

Fine-tune cloud light and shadow colors, self-shadowing, dense-core darkening, silver lining and aerial haze.

06 — PORTABLE
Save your scene, take your sky with you

SkyFlow builds nodes and standard drivers stored inside your .blend file. Once created, the sky keeps animating and rendering on compatible Blender installations and render farms without the add-on installed.

Python auto-run is not required.
