/! OUTDATED /! Blender : 3D Galaxy tutorial. (Difficulty level : Medium +)

Not a beginner’s tutorial, this is about showing the steps leading to the result, not explaining the steps. You’ll need first to know the basis on how particle systems work. This is how I made my galaxy. Not a live video, I tried something different. 4 particle systems, A flat circle with a transparent material for one of the particle systems (arms of the galaxy) A cylinder with a volume material for the body and to complete the arms (through transparency), Two point lights.
