Hello there, can anyone help me with my problem?
Currently I am working on a simulaion of our planet-system (animation) in 3dsmax6. I've got all the planets with nice textures, but my big problem is to make the sun look realistic. I've tried to play around with self-illuminating materials but it does not satisfy me yet.

Do you have any idea how to create such a material that I need?
Thanks for help.

please post a pic - hard to comment on something we can't see...

self-illuminating material is a good start, i would just add some procedural texture to the surface and a nice glow around the object

It would not make sense to post a pic because the sun looks just like a self-illuminated ball. I want to make the look more natural. I'm going to try it with procedurals.

thanks!
