I like to use a single stroke paintFX (space) stroke instanced to
particles. Much faster render. Make a few copies of the stroke with
different instances and randomize the object index for more intricate
details.

Subject: making stars with particles
Hi,
I have a shot flying in space. For stars, I am using a software render
cloud type partticle with glow and incandescence turned on. However,
the stars flicker throughout the animation.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Is there a better way to do stars? I tried to use hardware particles
but I can't get any glow effects. The glow attribute doesn't do anything
for harware particles. The incandescence is also not giving much glow,
it's just making them whiter.
If anyone can answer my question or has any advice on making stars w/
particles (i think lights might be too expensive), I would greatly
appreciate it.
Thanks.
Elvira
