Preview from the original source by Godot Engine (godotengine/godot-demo-projects)

Overview

3D Sky Shaders is an official Godot Engine demo in Godot's shader language and GDScript, with a master branch targeting Godot 4.7 on the Forward+ renderer. It shows real-time volumetric clouds and a physical sky with Rayleigh and Mie scattering driven by the DirectionalLight3D angle; a day/night cycle is animated with AnimationPlayer and material spheres are instanced via a @tool script.

The project is MIT licensed and available from the godot-demo-projects GitHub repository, with separate stable 4.0-4.3 and 3.x branches, or from the Godot Asset Store. It is a strong reference for atmosphere and sky rendering in Godot 4.
