Hi all, title says it all? I just wanna know how to make a galaxy, realistic or artisitc? mayb using particles or anyother technique but I can’t figure out. I tried using particles using vortex. rotating a sphere on its axis and generating particles from it to get a spiral effect but none helps.
any help?
You could do a setup like this - a single emitter in the middle, animate it rotating along its vertical axis and spewing particles. Add a drag force, and animate the speed along the icon arrow to get from something to nothing, and it will form the sleeves of the spiral shape. I can post a scene if you can’t figure out my explanation.

Hi, nice tip. I tried making galaxy…please have a look but it is still not looking like what I want it to be but now it is very close. thanx for the tip and do have a look.
Umm, something like that, but could be better. In fact I want to create this scene too, so wait until tonight, I’ll post again.
From memory I rmember Pete Draper did a very nice tutorial on how he made a galaxy

It’s not something quick to render but the theory is all there if you wanted to simplify it!
I’m ready, check it out:

Sorry for not posting here - limits are too restrictive, and I am currently too broke to pay for my hosting 
But register in the palace if you still haven’t, both my image and, moreso, the site, are quite worth it. Enjoy!
thanx for the reply…and thanx indeed for your help…attached is my version of galaxy which is simpler than yours.I successfully completed this project and this is now a history. thanx anyways
