Thanks GKDantas that's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks bwtr for the idea, I might play with that a bit, but I was thinking something pretty dense for deep space scenes with starships or detailed night skies, all in animation, so a photoshop backdrop wouldn't work.

sparrownightmare, I like your idea, it's like old cell animation and would work great for high speed travelling through space like at warp or such.

Great response all, thank you.

Cheers!
