Hello again!

I wanted to give you some news on the Vue Space Project as well as some cool discoveries.

First, I am REALLY happy with the render speed improvement of procedural terrains  in V7I 7.4. 

Now for the project itself, there have been some changes.
The more I`m working with Vue the more I tend to create the elements needed directly in Vue.
No need to mention that this way they (I am speaking of stars, nebulae, moons, planets etc) can be edited and there is no limitation when it comes to render size.

The basic concept is still the same: The starfield (and some nebulae) is projected onto a sphere. Elements like nebulae, suns, galaxies are projected onto planes, which are facing the camera.
The planets moons are now 3D object and are lit by a directional light source.
Apart from skies and sky elements I also spent quite some time experimenting with terrains, especially infinite terrains.

Now I would like to show you some renders along with some comments.
