Yet another question
I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a starry background? Should I try and texture a plane with a picture or is it possible to create a shader to do the same thing? By the way the site is looking great! Keep up the great work!

Hmm, knowing how customizable particle systems are, that would be a pretty impacting starfield. It does need a degree of knowledge in particles though, but hell! would look good if handled correctly.Originally posted by mtmckinley
one, sorta complicated method (so, just ignore me if you're looking for quick and easy. lol) is to use particles.... I've seen some cool scenes using particle-based stars in they sky... but I'd imagine just using images or paintFX would be the most practical thing to do.

I've never used particle effects and have just started reading up on shaders. But from what I've read and seen this looks to be one of the coolest parts of rendering.
Seanoz thanks for the info about the book. I'll look into it.

I would like to see how you would go about making particle stars, as I've been fiddling with this. But not being able to produce a satisfactory result, I turned to paintFX.
