Is this project ever going to get finished? I've been working on my project for more than 30 hours now and it's not even near 20% complete. This is again a part of the scene that is just finished. It's one of the "subquests" (the quest for extraterrestial intelligence from SETI). This image is 90% bryce. I used 5 image textures mapped on 18000 2D-planes for the main stars and then I used another few thousand spheres with volume textures for the gasses and the other stars. I rendered about 30 layers and combined them in PSP in screen or additive mode. Layering is lot's faster than rendering more than 20000 additive objects straight in bryce :)
