I just saw these nebulaes earlier today.. They just lack one important thing:
My ship flying between them... FDev, please hire that guy and bring to us these nebulaes..[yesnod]

Wow - how was this made?

From the vimeo page for this video, the creator replied in the comments to a similar question:

"Thanks! In Houdini I use particles controlled by physics and noise maps. Then I will render in Houdini the nebula form in slices from front to back, place them behind each other in afx and render and animate the camera shots. Hope this helps." -- Teun van der Zalm

Hope this helps

No it doesn't. But good to know nevertheless

Probably one day the game will look like that,
until then I'll have the money to buy the GPU needed.


Have a nice weekend(exploring) everybody.....

I think, it means they're layers of two dimensional particle renders. 3D is normally rendered like that as it saves a lot of time/performance.

Looks awesome, though! I hope we'll one day get the ability to super cruise around nebulae in-game. At the moment the skybox is a static rendered 360 degree image.
