Julian, Yves, aaver,
This looks like it is coming along quite well, it seems promising and I'm hoping you'll share it with the rest of us

Has a pretty decent starfied, it was done with Lightwave, but maybe there are somethings that apply (code is way beyond me)
My question is how does it look with motion blur. I have a tough time getting a good look with stars whenever I have the camera moving i.e. spaceship flyby.
I hope all goes well.
