Go to the **Magic Lightmap Switcher ➞ Examples ➞ Scenes ➞ Skybox Blending ➞ Skyboxes** folder. This folder contains two cube maps and a material with a skybox shader assigned. 

Assign a material in the **Skybox Material** field in the Unity **Lighting** window.

Start baking and storing. Once baked and stored, switch to the **Switching/Blending** tab and move the **Global Blend** slider. You will see how skyboxes change in real time.
