 		[ProceduralSkyMaterial] provides a way to create an effective background quickly by defining procedural parameters for the sun, the sky and the ground. The sky and ground are defined by a main color, a color at the horizon, and an easing curve to interpolate between them. Suns are described by a position in the sky, a color, and a max angle from the sun at which the easing curve ends. The max angle therefore defines the size of the sun in the sky.
 		[ProceduralSkyMaterial] supports up to 4 suns, using the color, and energy, direction, and angular distance of the first four [DirectionalLight3D] nodes in the scene. This means that the suns are defined individually by the properties of their corresponding [DirectionalLight3D]s and globally by [member sun_angle_max] and [member sun_curve].
-		[ProceduralSkyMaterial] uses a lightweight shader to draw the sky and is therefore suited for real time updates. This makes it a great option for a sky that is simple and computationally cheap, but unrealistic. If you need a more realistic procedural option, use [PhysicalSkyMaterial].

 		Tweens are mostly useful for animations requiring a numerical property to be interpolated over a range of values. The name [i]tween[/i] comes from [i]in-betweening[/i], an animation technique where you specify [i]keyframes[/i] and the computer interpolates the frames that appear between them. Animating something with a [Tween] is called tweening.
-		[Tween] is more suited than [AnimationPlayer] for animations where you don't know the final values in advance. For example, interpolating a dynamically-chosen camera zoom value is best done with a [Tween]; it would be difficult to do the same thing with an [AnimationPlayer] node. Tweens are also more light-weight than [AnimationPlayer], so they are very much suited for simple animations or general tasks that don't require visual tweaking provided by the editor. They can be used in a fire-and-forget manner for some logic that normally would be done by code. You can e.g. make something shoot periodically by using a looped [CallbackTweener] with a delay.
