Space hdri

I’m making a deep space scene I’ve searched many ways to make a starry sky but they all involve nighttime on a planet. How do I create a deep space hdri I have some space images that I’d love to wrap around and could hide the seam via editing. But when I put them in the stars don’t show and it just doesn’t work right.

By HDRI you mean environment map?

I made a spherical star map from some of my night sky photographs a couple years ago, you could give that a try if you want

Yes but I need it to be spherical. Sorry still learning environments. I’d love to give it a shot. Applying it as an environment tex should put it everywhere right?

Hi! I was wondering if Zeke_Faust’s spherical sky map was still available anywhere?

Thanks man, you helped me a lot!

Fast forward to 2024 and your hdr is still being found by people in need! I’m intending on using it at very least as a placeholder in a free pc game project.

As there’s no license provided, would you please let me know what license you’d like respected for using this and what attribution you’d like if any aside from your BlenderArtists profile?

Thanks very much
