So, I finally decided to get off my behind and start porting Kuiper code to TSE MS4... hopefully (please Brian, PLEAAASE! -hysteric crying-) MS4.2 will not be TOO different.
I got some basic code in, and started replacing the sky code. It is VERY different now, and this is what I have so far:
100,000 stars is too many!
22,000 works.
1,000,000 is definitely too many.
With editor...
Definitely messed up something with glow...
Star glow!
100,000 is still too many.
See? No bleed through!
The system for making any object glow, even without a material, was substantially different than it was before... but I figured it out... you can't stop me, GG! Muahahaha!

Looks Great! You're definitely doing a stellar job with this! I agree, 22K stars is really the best pick... also each star is not a billboard shape with a material glow pass?
