SPACE! - A never ending journey of exploration . . . . .

'Morning all . . .

To any & all who have at times wanted to create a realistic Starfield or Galaxy, without investing hours of work.

I have been using for quite a while now, a program that I consider to one of the best Freeware, Shareware or any-ware software available for doing so. Of course, this is just my opinion. The name of the software is "Starbits" & the site to visit is here:

Please check it out, I think you'll be satisfied with the program. It is Freeware / Shareware, meaning that there are no time or function limitations, & if you want to make a donation to the developer, you can do so in any amount, it's your choice. There are also some excellent images in the gallery section on the site & tutorials for the software.

I'm sure that all you "Space Artists" out there won't be disappointed with this program.

Just thought I'd share with others . . . have a good one . . . Mark.

Thanks, I'll have to give it a try when I get home from work.

It sure looks purdy though.

Yeah, that is great software, and for more things than just space. You can use it to make all kinds of strange alpha maps, and there's also a companion program called 'Astroscape SD', that designs stars to go into 'Starbits', AND also makes great lensflares!

Thanks for the headsup. New to me.

Time for a test drive!
