Here's mine, pidjy, thanks for the idea =)

I originally posted it in the thread where you put your link to download your textures, but thought that was just tacky and decided to create a new thread.

I think it has the same problem as yours, the solar flares are too circular. Something to try to fix.

I said I could do it with two spheres. I was wrong, this is three spheres. Also it is dependant upon camera positioning, since all textures are volumetric (except for the space background), and so I had to put one behind the other to keep Bryce from screwing it up.

All in all, I'm pretty satisfied. I want to try to put my new ship in it, with light rays streaming out from the sun around the ship. Of course the ship would be falling into the star, burning up as it did so =) LONG render I can see it already.

Any suggestions? I'll be keeping you posted as I (hopefully) improve it, and again thanks to pidjy for the inspiration. =) EDIT: Sorry about the double thread, AGAIN! :(

Good idea, tantarus. I'll have to consider that. I'm having trouble with the light rays though. For some reason, spotlights just aren't working properly. I'll have to experiment.

Well done!
