After only a year and a half I finally learned how to use "billboards" in the backgrounds.

One of the best designs in Trek IMHO.

BTW, what's this "billboard" you speak of? I'm curious.

Single poly object plane with texturing image, such as the Nebula.

Ah, cool attempt. Maybe I can try that too instead of rendering the entire BG!

Thanks!

No. Kind of puts my intellect in question huh? I usually just use a composite background. Or the starfield spheres.

In lightwave. Usually I just use a backdrop image composite. Or a star sphere obj. planets etc. Whereas this is a plane with a texture with the starfield obj as well.If I move the camera (in animation) the nebula will move accordingly. It's hard for me to explain because of my lack of "proper vocabulary."
