space scene

hi,

im working on a space scene, and i was hoping someone out there knows how to make a sun. I dont want to use a halo. I need to make a sun (like in the intro of star trek). Some one did a star trek scene before, cant remeber who it was (maybe theeth or blengine dont really know). Anways it was on the blender.nl site in the animations gallery.

Are you talking about this one? http://www.blender3d.org/3DInAction/gallery_movies.php

I don’t know for sure how this was made, but I guess it’s a lot of particles systems with halotex, maybe a lattice to stear the particles stream or a moving emitter, something like that.

I never made one myself, but that’s how I would do.
