Galaxy How?

Hi All



I am trying to find an easy way to either find a free scene, object for a galaxy fly through with lots of rays of light or wormhole



Is there a plug in for it or something like ozone that would do this effect?

Heres an example of a quickie galaxy.
I created a spline, lathed it, used the vortex tool to twist the object into a spiral shape and then killed the polys to leave the points. I think ran points to polys to make every point a single point poly so the points render too.
In layout the background starfield is done using the crust procedural in the texture environment plugin. The rest of the nebula is done with several layers of the crumple procedural.
The galaxy has HV sprites turned on as well as a little glow on the galaxy objects surface. I also used gradients to effect the size of the HVs as well as color and luminosity based on the distance from the galaxys center. It takes only a few minutes to set up.
