creating a starfield
So,,, what are some ways of creating a star field for a space scene? I think I once read something about using particles but I can't recall any details. I know that in 3DMAX there is a built in starfield generator but I don't think that Maya has that. Does anyone have any experience with starfields?

That's a basic starfield. won't be very interesting but if you want to make it more complex you can look at applying pictures of galaxies etc onto planes then placing them around the scene. Or you can simulate them with particles/fluids. experiment!

Starfield Techniques
(The image samples aren't in the thread anymore as it's an old post and there was a big image cleanup way back when but all the methods mentioned in the thread work well).
