by Lincoln Antonio in Surfacing

Nebula Nodes
NebulaNodes contains a set of 5 node groups for generating and mixing nebulae based on five primary types of nebulae, with sliders to customize vector input, shape, detail, distortion, emission, and more (with certain properties unique to each nebula type.

Also includes a bonus node group for a starry sky background, as well as a basic compositor setup for rendering out of the box.
