3dsr's… I'm trying to create a moving starfield, like what is seen on Star Trek etc. The IPAS stars don't move as you dolly a camera forward. They only appear to move when you pan the camera. I've tried the starfield generator in animator Pro but the effects just aren't up to what I would like. Any suggestions? The final effect will be something similar to the opening sequence in the Cosmos Series. I've got a bunch of stuff from the astronomy forum for the other objects. I'm rendering those with alpha and then doing a video post so the galaxies pass by the camera. Any suggestions would be helpful. Any other effect ideas for the sequence would also be appreciated. Thanks, Tom
