New tutorial: How to Make a Realistic Star Field


A new tutorial from our new elite member sirgerg is online detailing how to go about making a completely customized, realistic star field. The tutorial is designed to break the hold that Bryce and other programs boasting star field creation features have on burgeoning space artists. Throw off the shackles of poorly written (not to mention predictable) algorithmic output star fields! Create your own heavens! I assure you the result can be as good as the effort you put into the process.

The tutorial is also prefaced with an pre-release excerpt from my upcoming "Capturing Heavens" article, detailing my views on star fields in the space art of today and things that are important to keep in mind. I sincerely hope it is insightful and helpful to those that take the time to read it.

I made a star field tutorial... it sucked though. I only made it because iCE was desperately searching for a tutorial for the monath. I think it's actually linked somewhere in the gfxartist tutorial links... blah. :p

Oops, it's not. I must be thinking of somewhere else. Oh well, that's a good thing. I don't need anyone looking at my crappy tutorial. *hides it*
