- open a new scene - select Atmopsheres -> Effects -> Other -> Outer Space - Add a sphere to the scene - Edit the material of the sphere with a texture map from a planet (you can also simply use a Vue Planet). You also have links in the Backroom, under Materials, to download texture maps of planets. - Add a spaceship and you are done :) Here is a wide shot of the planet, a simple sphere with a Mars texture map.
