Project 579: Custom Skyboxes and Environments

7. Adjust Lighting Properties

Use the lighting object and its children to adjust the mood of your environment. Is it night or day? A hot desert, or a cool forest? Are we underwater? I’d recommend putting some basic Parts down in your scene, to test out how they look.

Steps

1. Change the time of day

Inside the Lighting Properties, find the ClockTime property. Roblox uses a 24 hour clock, so any number between 1 and 24 is a valid time of day to test out here.

2. Adjust Atmosphere numbers

The atmosphere object helps adjust the overall mood and temperature of your environment. 

The best way to learn this is just messing around with it on your own - but the below images give ideas for different combinations to try out!

3. Adjust Bloom

Bloom is the video game effect that softens light, creating a more realistic scene, as compared to the default sharper Roblox settings. 

A high threshold creates a sharper scene, a low threshold softens the environment. A VERY low threshold creates a dreamy effect! 

4. (Optional) Add some Color Correction

Add a ColorCorrectionEffect Child to your Lighting Object. Experiment with how changing the Brightness, Contrast, Saturation or Tint Properties affect your scene. If you have questions about any of those words, ask your instructor!
