(Ým using maya5.0 and just finished the 4.0 suplementels tutorials)

You can download a photo from Nasa of the stars and map it onto a shpere. The make some particle streaks that fly in the opposite direction as your cannon to give the impression of speed.

Do a forum search on "stars" or "starfields" and you'll find some threads that discuss several different methods.

thanx for your help that was helpfull
