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
