  Best way to make a starfield back drop?

  Posted by Greg Paterson on February 23, 2006 at 3:21 am

  Many questions from me today.

  I have used a floor and rotated this to the vertical position and placed it behind the objects in the scene.
  For the floor I created a material that only uses the luminace channel into which I have placed a jpeg picture of a starfield.
  Tiling was a problem as the repetion of the image was obvious.
  I made a very large jpg image (8000 x 6000) as an approach to fix this.

  Is there a standard and/or better approach to creating a static starfield??

  Thanks
