Real time visual weather

Hello, i run a 24/7 YouTube Radio and have dreamed of running the most realistic radio ever.
My plan is to have some sort of code/ plugin that changes things such as:
- Sun and moon position
- brightness of the background
- weather events (rain, thunder, snow, fog, meteor shower, etc)
- sunrise/set
- wind direction and speed
- moon phase
- cloudiness.

i have all the assets already made by the artist in my team but i don't know how i would go about coding this. i know id need a weather api that i reuqest all these factors from but how would i then use that information to enable/ disable layers and also modify layers for things like brightness (to save on resources and drawing hundreds of variations)

on another note is there a plugin or asset that makes randomly generated clouds as i always feel my clouds are the same.

Sounds cool, but not really in scope for OBS. I think you need a separate app to do that, and then window-capture or screen/display-capture that app in OBS.

OBS can put a camera, text, etc., over your weather background, but it probably can't generate the weather background itself. It has to capture that already-made.

Though you *might* be able to make a crude first draft with a bunch of video filters and the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin to modify those filters and other things:

Advanced Scene Switcher

This plugin will allow you to automate various tasks using "Macros". Macros consist of a list of conditions under which a list of actions will be performed. Examples and guides can be found in the wiki. Feel free to contribute! If you run...

It WILL be crude though, and complicated. I'd still recommend a standalone app to generate that background, and just capture what it comes up with.
