What is a "realistic" way to build a galaxy in 2D with wpf?
I'm not interessed in the physical modelling but the graphical aspect. At least the stars (position, size, color, pulsing etc.) should be generated from code. Generating milkyways would be nice.
Main questions are:
- Stars: lens flare? texturing?
- Milkyway: bump mapping?
- "Far" stars: textures? generated?
- Pulsing?
- other elements, any effects are welcome!
Some examples (taken from the web, I want to build similar pictures (animations) with wpf):
Thank you.
