Hi, I need some advice or suggestions in general. I have to do a logo animation where the letters come out of a "nebula" (the Andromeda) and a starfield background. The nebula doesn't have to look real, but cool 🙂 Actally it should just be a spiral nebula. Since I'm not a space fan I haven't read the messages about these kind of effects too close (shame on me! <g>). I once found a small tutorial from Steve where he used a fog object added ghost and a bump texture that makes the density irregular. And of course the spiral should be animated. Last but not least it should use as little render time as possible because I have to render at a very high resolution (2k). any ideas are appreciated! -David PS: yes, I used confetty on a large (semi-)sphere for the starfield 🙂
