Hey everyone new to unity and loving it so far!!

What would be the best way to switch a scene from day to night. Such as the map getting darker at a certain time.

Would this best be done through lighting? I don’t think that would be very optimized for the iphone, but idk. Any answers/comments would be great!!! Thanks in advance.

For Karnival, we swapped to a completely different texture set. A bit of extra work making night-time versions of all of your textures, though.
