5 is transforming game development, VFX and 3D visualisation. Now it turns out it can be used to show us what the weather's like.'s dynamic"Find your city's skies" system displays real-time weather on environmental visuals of the requested location. The tool isn't publicly available, but Nils has shared a breakdown of how he built it, and the tools can all be found online, allowing anyone to recreate the system.
Nils used OpenWeather API to get the real-time weather conditions, World Time API for time synchronisation and OpenAI 4o mini for processing the longitude and latitude of the requested city.

Real-time weather data from OpenWeather is used to add clouds, rain, or snow as along with appropriate lighting for the time of day as per World Time API.
When you move from one city to the next, the weather and lighting transition smoothly thanks to cloud transitions built with the Ultra Dynamic Sky plug-in available in Epic's new. It's an impressive demonstration of the creative possibilities that can be opened by combining different tech, and I feel like it could have great applications for weather apps.We curate the best offers on creative kit and give our expert recommendations to save you time this Black Friday.
