This lecture focus on sharing experiences in implementing a dynamic weather system for our game: DARK AREA. DARK AREA is a realistic military mobile FPS game, which features console grade graphics and realistic game-play experiences such as time-of-day and weather changes within a game session. Although our solution mainly focused on mobile devices, our experiences also applies to PC / Console titles such that dynamic weather system and sky rendering play an more and more important role.
