NoOdle Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hey guys, there are many programs to create day skyboxes with clouds, but are there any that can also do night ones? I'm in desperate need of a high res star skybox, no moon, no planets, just stars, but there are none anywhere on the net that I could find, and so I'm wondering if there is a program I can buy to make one? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Thomas Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Reminds me that I need to do my stars as well. I'll let you know what I come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Richmond Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I'd check out a few photoshop tutorials if I were you. They are generally deceptively easy to make: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/starry-sky/ Thats just a random one I grabbed, just google 'photoshop stars tutorial'.

Laurens Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 If you are a programmer like myself, you can use this POVRay plugin to create starfields. It's possible to create starfields, nebula's and other celestial objects with it. Completely customizable. http://povrayinclude...com/galaxy.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
