If you're using STARS3, you can just plug different numbers in the database field to get different numbers of stars. (I forget what the maximum # is, but you can experiment.) The usual way for doing interesting starfields is by implementing multiple layers with different amounts of stars moving at different rates. This involves pre-rendering layers and compositing in VP. If you want to move INTO the stars, you can either do it with RAIN or you can use SCATTER to create a physical starfield (arraying the star objects around a sphere (or spheres), for instance. – G
