Create Stars In 2 Minutes In Blender | Night Sky & Starfield | Easy & Dirty Method | Blender Eevee

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a star-field or a night sky in Blender, full of stars. Instead of expensive and resource-heavy methods, we are using a simple procedural setup which will produce a realistic starred sky quickly. You can use this as a background for your sci-fi models. Please watch the video for the complete tutorial. If you have any question on this tutorial, please leave your comment below.

[@ahanuesterhuizen6330]

Is there a way to change the dark part of the sky, I want to make it more of a deep blue.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Yes. Mix the existing Background node with another Background node with a deep Blue color or whatever you like the sky to be. Remember to use a very low value for the "Value" field in the HSV code. Mix these two Background nodes using a Mix Shader with FAC maybe 0.5 or so. The sky will be deep blue along with the stars as expected.

[@Deepakoc]

please make a video on making 3d satellite models ❤️

[@5MinutesBlender]

Okay sure, I will do.

[@lytn9391]

Is there a way to make them all differently colored, like a gradient?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Nice question! Yes, it is easily possible. In the compositor, we have a node called Background and it has got an input socket called Color. You can add a gradient color or any texture to this input field, and the stars will get a variable color. For a simple setup, just add a Voronoi Texture node and connect its output to the color input of the Background node. You will notice the color variation in the stars in the render output. You can customize the color or the gradient by changing the Voronoi node settings suitably or by replacing it with some better color input.

[@lytn9391]

@@5MinutesBlender Thank you so much

[@petertremblay3725]

With a way to make blinking stars this would be perfect!

[@5MinutesBlender]

That is a nice suggestion. However, that effect should be very very subtle, otherwise it will look unreal. It is easy to make all stars blink together, you just play with the brightness values. But it may be little challenging to make it random. Can be done though, I have an idea... nice tutorial suggestion, we will take up soon. Thank you!

Vorenoi texture no longer has a "Distance" output handle.

[@MalikRashed]

is there a way to change the background to a different color? I've been trying to look at ways to make a star roof like a Rolls Royce but this is the closest video I've found

[@5MinutesBlender]

Yes, you can invert the noise texture and use its factor to mix the sky output with a solid color. So the black portion will be replaced with a solid color while the stars remain as it is.

[@MalikRashed]

@@5MinutesBlender I’ll give that try thank you

[@almabora405]

Really nice tutorial. But when u zoom out a bit, those stars become blurry, how to solve that?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Hi, sorry for this late response, I was out of the town during the weekend. I quickly checked at my end, if I zoom out the camera, the objects in the viewport become smaller as expected, but the world background does not change (and it is not supposed to change). So I did not notice what you said. Can you please check if you have some other nodes also active, or if you are using bloom, or something else which is maybe interfering with this effect? 🤔🤔

[@almabora405]

I already solved my problem by just scaling everything down and no, nothing i am aware of. I did it in a fresh new project.

[@5MinutesBlender]

@@almabora405 Oh good! Glad to know that you resolved it.

[@irfaninamdar2878]

hi sir , whenever I saved it in glb file and open it in 3d viewer then I can not see the stars sky. could you please help me?😊

[@5MinutesBlender]

The export function is not very robust. It does not include the environment (sky in this case) by default. You'll need to export the environment separately as a texture and combine it in your target application. The objects and the environments are handled separately.

[@irfaninamdar2878]

[@blazespt]

hey it did work but tha stars go through the character how can i fix that ?

[@5MinutesBlender]

That's strange, it should not happen ideally. I need to look at your blend file to figure out how it can be fixed. Can you please send the blend file to [e-mail]? Thank you.

[@dustonclubs3867]

When I render, stars appears on ground plane texture🤔… How to remove that?

[@5MinutesBlender]

I just checked this same thing with a ground plane, the stars are all over the sky i.e. the area outside the ground plane and above the ground plane. They do not overlap with the ground plane texture. To investigate it further, I would request you to send your blend file to us ([e-mail]), we'll check and get back to you asap.

[@BITRU]

I do the same steps and the voronoi texture is not seen in eevee

[@5MinutesBlender]

That's strange! Are you in the Shader Editor? If so, can you please tell me what options you see when you go to Add menu > Texture sub-menu ? What are the entries you see there?

[@Zensei33]

when i go to render the stars do not show up? how can i show it in the final render?

[@5MinutesBlender]

It should show up in the render without any other special setup. Are you using any post-processing in your compositor? That can suppress the stars. Or if you are using a different lighting, or color scheme, it can impact the output. I suggest you to try this with the default Blender scene having the default cube. If it works there and not in your actual scene, there must be something in your scene that is restricting the stars to render.

[@SantaGamerYoutube]

it won't show if you have orthographic camera

[@dustonclubs3867]

When I did this, my objects in the project also going black, can’t see… any solution?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Please add enough light into your scene i.e. add light objects and/or increase their strength. Usually the background will make your objects visible (like daylight in the real life). But for a night sky, you need to have your own light to make the objects visible.

[@3drobot762]

Problem I have with this method is from one side I have bad lightining, no matter how many of them I place. It seems to bring problems with the lightning

[@5MinutesBlender]

Hi, I want to help you solve this, but I could not get the problem description. I hope there is no misspelling between lighting and lightening, because they mean completely different things.

[@spoonfeeder2561]

can we mix two worlds via nodes ?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Yes, you can. You don't actually mix two "worlds". Each world has its own node setup. Just duplicate both the setup into one 3rd world so that you have everything together, in two separate groups. Then mix the output of these two separate groups with a mix shader and connect that to your world output.

[@spoonfeeder2561]

Thanks 😘

[@gsnipes5451]

When i zoom out the stars enlarge and get pixelated. How do I fix this?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Where did you zoom-in? If you zoom-in while in the render output, it will get pixelated, because it is a simple image file only. If you zoom-in your camera in the camera view, any other object will get bigger, but the stars won't. These stars are actually part of the world background, so they are not affected by the camera zoom. Please confirm where you actually zoomed in.

[@gsnipes5451]

I zoomed out while working on the project and I wasn’t in the camera view. If I kept zooming out, It would eventually become Pixilated

[@5MinutesBlender]

Okay, so I think you don't need to worry for this. If you render the scene, the output will be perfect. The zoom level won't affect the starred background in the output. Please let me know if it does.

[@reigen6969]

if i want to add a gradient to the background, how do i do that

[@5MinutesBlender]

By gradient to the background - do you mean a color gradient to the stars, or to the black sky behind?

[@reigen6969]

@@5MinutesBlender to the sky.. i used a gradient texture and color ramp to add it to the background but i also want stars on it

[@5MinutesBlender]

@@reigen6969 Okay. What you need to do is: You have a color node or node group setup for the background, let us call it color1. Now decide a color for the stars and add a RGB node from the input group and set the star color on this node. Let us call it color 2. Now mix color2 and color1 using a MixRGB node from the color group. From our node setup in this tutorial, use the final value from the multiply node and plug it into the FAC input of the MixRGB node. Please ensure that color2 is at the top and color1 is at the bottom. Now connect this MixRGB node to the Background node and you are done! I just tested this. All the best!

The stars do not appear in the rendered image, what should I do? :(

[@5MinutesBlender]

Sorry for the late reply, my machine was out of order. Did you enable any kind of noise reduction in the compositor (or in the render)? It can wash out the stars. If you are still unable to resolve the issues, please send your blend file to us ([e-mail]) so that we can verify and suggest you accordingly.

[@BlazeTheCatMan]

why is it that when i render it the stars look bigger and not tinnier like they are suspose to in real life like it kinda looks unatural.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Hi, it depends on the scale factors in the Voronoi textures (and on your screen resolution). To reduce the size of the stars, you can increase the scale size to say 500 and 700 for the two Voronoi textures. The stars will be then tinier. But if your screen resolution is not good, the stars may vanish completely. So you can just do some experiments and discover what values give you the perfect result.

How would you go about changing the color of the background? Say Orangish for an evening-like effect.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Mix the existing Background node with another Background node with Orange color or whatever you like the sky to be. Remember to use a very low value for the "Value" field in the HSV code. Mix these two Background nodes using a Mix Shader with FAC maybe 0.5 or so. The sky will be orangish along with the stars as expected.

[@arbiter8246]

WHY DOES THE MAP RANGE REMOVE THE COLOR???

[@5MinutesBlender]

The map range node is connected to the Color input of the Background node and converts everything into Black & White. The white parts are the stars. Based on your requirement, you may need to make suitable adjustments to this node tree. For example, let's say we want to create stars on a deep blue sky instead of black sky. We need to Mix the existing Background node with another Background node with a deep Blue color or whatever you like the sky to be. Remember to use a very low value for the "Value" field in the HSV code. Mix these two Background nodes using a Mix Shader with FAC maybe 0.5 or so.

Hi, here dirty does not really mean dirty as in untidy or bad. Here dirty means a quick way or a hack. There are many ways to create a sky filled with stars, but they take more time to setup. Even using a starfield texture is another quick way. We just presented a simple solution here, but you can use some other technique as well. Anyway, thanks for watching our tutorial 💖
