What is the Nebula Generator?

The Nebula Generator is for digital artists to create configurable space nebula effects in 2D or 3D using Blender. Great for concept art, game backgrounds, and animations.

Features

• A ready made Blender file setup with additional sample files.
• A Control Panel add-on for the 3D version to manage all the parameters in one interface.
• Change the color and shape of the nebula through a range of options.
• Control the number, position and color of stars and light sources.
• Pan and Zoom around the 3D Nebula set up.
• Animate parameters to make the clouds and stars appear as if they are moving.
• Use in both Cycles and Eevee Blender render engines.

Sample Files

Along with the core files, a set of sample files are available showing different configurations for you to further tailor. All files are documented with a set of how-to instructions.

Hope you enjoy and do contact me via Blender Market for feedback as I continue to develop it.
