Recommended Posts

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 :(

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'.
