Starmaps in Blender (two methods)
Added 2022-11-26 09:07:17 +0000 UTCCool Nasa Stuff, and Procedural!
Sort of a continuation of the "Lighting in Space" video from last month!
Here's the blend file of the procedural version I made in the video, if anyone wants to use it for anything!
Here's the "scrolling signs" tutorial I mentioned for the gauges (a lot of good stuff in that one!).
And here's the NASA star maps!

SPACE STUFF?? Can't believe I missed this post ahahaha.

2022-11-29 00:36:33 +0000 UTCWell ok it is not a 3d cube..:-) You called it meters or digital gain in your video. What kind of texture are you using for this effect. I didn’t really understand the way you are doing it. I looked in the linked video and tried to think about how to apply it to the meters. maybe it was to early in the morning :..:-)

2022-11-27 11:00:45 +0000 UTCin the linked video there is no mention about how to make the moving neon cube...:-( I like so much this effect.

2022-11-27 06:41:22 +0000 UTCUsing a super clamped noise texture instead of a voronoi can look a bit less procedural for the really dense stars.

2022-11-26 21:18:17 +0000 UTCThat’s a great idea!!

2022-11-26 21:06:32 +0000 UTClol, does your default cube have a "Butt"?!?

2022-11-26 20:04:48 +0000 UTCMy favorite technique for breaking up procedural textures is to modify the input vector by mixing in a noise texture with a Mix node set to Linear Light. Erindale has a good video on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zmhsVqBwTg&t=1179s
2022-11-26 18:53:48 +0000 UTCThat last bit with the noise in the mapping coordinates was EXACTLY the result/control I was hoping for during the earlier bit. How to muddle up and curve the band. Wouldn't have figured that out without a ton of noodling. That was great. Ty!

2022-11-26 17:39:12 +0000 UTCI’d look into Space Engine, the most realistic universe/space simulator out there. You can also import models and animate them in it. And there’s a pro DLC that allows you to use the stuff for commercial reasons.

2022-11-26 17:15:09 +0000 UTCThis was excellent. I have an older scene where I've never been happy with my generated star field - this is way better. Thanks!

2022-11-26 16:15:36 +0000 UTCWhat i always love to do with the bright star texture is multiplying it with the color output of a noise texture. Maybe up the saturation a bit and fast linear offset the noise, so it looks like they are flickering a bit.

2022-11-26 11:39:12 +0000 UTCIf you're not familiar with Noseybonk, I suggest doing a YouTube search and then feeling horrified about what you saw in the stars.
