Day - Night transitions.

Im making a trigger which turns the day into night.

I did this because the standard day night cycle was causing issues with my map.

The problem is that the transition from day to night, especially with the drastic lighting change looks very jerky and sudden.

Im simply asking what effects can I apply to make a more natural transition.

Fade to black with a cinematic filter, switch, fade in again?

Speed up the clock immensely, let it spin to the time you want, and then set it back to normal again?

Incrementally change time of day?

Fog effects?

set it to just before night/day so you get dawn/dusk? use eclipse?

Seems to work, thanks.

That actually makes a pretty cool effect. Some games do a similar thing, where the screen turns black and when it comes up it's night/day.
