I'm rendering with Redshift. What I've been experimenting with is to take the
star field map I'm using for the background, whether Hubble or now Joey

Interesting...
On a renderer point of view, I wonder how importance sampling will cope with
all those bright little spots...
In the end, it's just a tiny little fill light. I would defenitly use a manual
created direct light source with very low intensity to recreate the Mystery

lasers"
Lol! :)

The problem is that you are using Hubble images. Hubble images are high res
and beautiful but often are only representative of a single focal point in
space. What you want is a star map that is a cylindrical projection

Maybe take a look at StarPro plug in for Nuke?
http://www.maasdigital.com/starpro/
I never tried it, but at 227$ it's worth to check and you still keep the
control in comp.
Look at the first video for a little tut on it...
hope it helps

Sounds great but I don't have Nuke... Just After Effects with trapcode
particular. May be something useful here, but the problem with post comp is
that I need to create lights for the scene that correspond to the starlight (as
least somewhat). Resulting in a subtle GI lighting from space...

Oh
Thank you Jason for this awesome texturing advice. I've done a lot in photoshop
with tiles and spherical texture maps, so this is my territory.
Some of these procedures i'll have to read over a few times to really get
completely, so I hope you don't mind if I need to ask a couple questions
as desired.

so that at the final frame res, they arent much smaller than 1

Hello,
I'm needing a star field kind of background for a scene, and looking for ideas
to create it. I have been using Hubble images wrapped around a sphere, around
the scene, but I'm finding it doesn't read well, even with very high-res Hubble
images.
So, I'm wondering about other ways to
Do you need nebulae, etc?
If its just stars, what about using a static point cloud with spherical /
displaced randomized spheres as shape. Randomize color and transparency per
point?
This would give you the 3d field you are looking for, then perhaps some
fluids to do neb clouds, simulated
Thanks Adam, this is a great idea, and something I'm not used to doing, so I
will have to learn more. Would it be best to do this with ice? Or just basic
particles?
As for fluidsam I missing somethingdo we have fluids in Softimage these
days...? Nebula clouds would be perfect, as I
