Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how I can create Saturn's
rings? This would be for an orrery so I do not need an upclose view of the
rings at all.

Thanks for any ideas.

Try the disc object with an appropriate texture

You could also take tori as rings and fill them with some scattering media
and a nice density map...
