Ion Sula, also known as Nicrom, has showcased a tool called Environment Manager that greatly simplifies the process of creating visually stunning scenes. It’s impressive how adjusting just a few values can produce a wide variety of completely different scenarios with controlled day/night cycles, lighting, fog, and much more.

Environment Manager supports Built-In and URP and is part of Ion’s Stylized Poly Nature 3D environment art pack. Besides the Environment Manager, there are also the Wind Manager, Post Processing Volume Manager, and SGP Manager.

There’s a procedural skybox with sun, stars, and dynamic clouds, along with post-processing volume blending. The tool blends vegetation with the terrain color and includes vegetation slope correction and scale variation for a natural look. Most models have LODs to ensure optimal performance. It also includes custom material inspectors, a first-person controller, a free-fly camera with collision detection, and a large demo scene.
