I'm looking for some advice on making a scrolling space background. I'm wondering how a game like "x-wing" or freespace used a background. I posted a post in the past and did a little work with a large skysphere that follows the player however I'm having trouble gettin the texture of stars to look good.

I feel like a better approach would be to use a flat 2D background that scrolls and wraps in all direction however it seems like that would be a bad choice in getting it to line up with a 3D space environment.

Thank you TGC for creating such amazing products!

Success does not come with meeting the minimum requirements.

theres some excellent code here. I'm trying it out in my main menu and looks great. Has stationary and random moving stars. Search for 'menu' and 'stars' and you'll probably find it.
