Timeline

Drag the downward-pointing arrow to change what the environment looks like at a given time. Nodes (the "bumps") on the timeline are keyframes which you can drag to set. Each corresponds to a sky preset. As the time of day progresses, the sky "animates" as it interpolates between these keyframes.

Add Key

Creates a new keyframe at the the arrow's location. After setting a keyframe, you can change the Key Preset.

Delete Key

Deletes the currently-selected or last-selected node.
