Hello everyone,
This image was rendered in four passes. I first rendered a star field. I
then rendered the nebula itself, plus a few larger stars thrown in for
good measure. This was rendered over the first star field. The third
render gave the image an appearance of having film grain. The last
render added the glare effect. It was all made in POV-Ray, except for
the black border on either side which was added in IrfanView between
steps 3 & 4.
I'll probably add some sort of space scene to it later, who knows.
I hope you enjoy it!
Sam

It certainly reminds one of some Hubble photographs. Very well done, Sam!
This needs a General Products Hull #3 in the foreground :-)

It seems a scanned image.
As usual: WOW!

Thanks! I intended for it to look like the Hubble photos. In fact, I
used about five for reference :)

I don't know what that is, but I had originally planned to add some soft
of space craft in the foreground.

Thank you, Bruno. I'm hoping the new HDR version of my luminous bloom
code will make the stars more realistic. I wasn't completely happy with
how they turned out in this image :(

Sorry, Sam. That's a spacecraft type commonly referred to in the Known Space
cycle of stories by Larry Niven. http://www.larryniven.org/
GP Hulls are generally transparant too.

Impressive!
Care to elaborate on how you did the 3rd step? media? procedurals? code? :)

Extremely well-done. It has such an organic, 'art-sy' feel to it that it would,
IMO, fool most people into thinking it was a photo, or airbrushed
artwork--anything but CGI.
