Sky Master ULTIMATE is a comprehensive weather system for Unity, offering a wide range of features to create realistic skies, clouds, and weather effects. The system includes dynamic sky and weather control, volumetric clouds, lighting, and ocean simulations. It also features a global illuminator, GI proxy, and physically based sky rendering. The system is designed to work on all platforms, including mobile, and is optimized for performance. It includes a configurator system, library, and presets for easy sky, water, and cloud creation and control. The system also includes advanced particle effects, such as turbulence, attractors, and particle to particle collisions. It also features a new ocean system, with shore lines, underwater, multiple wave options, and fast speeds. The system is written in C# code, and the source code is provided.
