Star types: Sun, SunV2, Star, StarV2, StarWithSpots, RedGiant, BlueGiant, ColdFireStar, and WhiteDwarf, where V2 means a variant.

Just modify the parameters on the Material Instances for any desired change in the appearance of the Star, or create new instances from the main materials.

See “Features presentation video” for example settings.

Attention: Please keep in mind, that for some more fine-tuned results, you might need to enter into the parent materials, and adjust the values of the “Noise” node.

With the “EnableAdaptiveBrightness” variable enabled, and adjusting the values of the “Adaptive Brightness Power” and “Adaptive Brightness Multiplier” variables, the overall brightness of the star will change depending on the distance from the camera, for a star to appear more realistically shiny when viewed from large distances.

Bonus “BP_StarsSphere” Blueprint and media is included, for easy basic space scene setup.

See “Stars Setup video” for quick and easy example space scene setup. Drag-and-drop blueprints are included in the “Blueprints” folder for each type of Star.

(Note: Download “Worlds of Sunrise” from YouTube Audio Library and replace the asset in the “Audio” folder to have the same music as in the video)
