I don't know if this would be any help, but here is a link to a lightwave tutorial on creating a starfield. It might at least give some ideas....

https://www.ap3d.com/betterspace/betterspace-tut-00.htm

I have done his entire series on this site with Lightwave and it looks awesome (even the nebulas using Photoshop).

Would there be a way to duplicate this process in Maya somehow??

Good luck,

I've seen that site before but you can't really kill polys in Maya the way they suggest for LW. There are different methods to the madness, though.
