Overview Since growing up I’ve always been fascinated by stars, and being exposed to anime like Sainy Seiya and Hokuto No Ken just fueled the passion.

Many years has passed (20+!) and I’ve never dwelved into these kind of topic.
Then few years ago, while researching for rendering un Just Cause 4 I stumbled upon a couple of papers about realistic rendering of stars.
