Exciting changes are coming to Fortnite Creative with the introduction of the Chapter 5 Time of Day Manager (TODM)! This update brings enhanced lighting using Lumen and Nanite, giving new islands created in Creative a more realistic look. Plus, the new TODM will now match the UEFN version, bringing parity between Creative and UEFN lighting.
New islands will automatically use the new Chapter 5 TODM along with the Day Sequence device. For existing islands, you’ll need to opt in to switch to the new TODM. Note that opting in is a one-way conversion; once you’ve switched, there’s no reverting to the old TODM, so it’s important to back up your island beforehand. If you’re using Skydome devices, only their volume and location data will be retained during the process and will be converted to Day Sequence devices. To ensure a smooth transition, refer to the Day Sequence device documentation at Day Sequence Device | Unreal Editor for Fortnite Documentation | Epic Developer Community
It’s recommended to opt in early and update your published islands to Chapter 5’s TODM lighting, as an upcoming update will automatically migrate to the new system, making the Skydome device obsolete.
