Looking for Space background creator

[LilGames]

Many years ago I had a little PC application that made it easy to create a space background. It let you click and place star clusters, galaxies, nebula, etc. I'm pretty sure it was a stand-alone app, not a Photoshop plug-in.

Ring a bell with anyone?

Yeah thats a good one. That same company has a couple of other useful plugins ... SolarCell and LunarCell I think they're called. One makes planets and the other sun's

I think the program you are looking for was named "Universe". I know I used it quite a lot some years ago. It was a low cost shareware, IIR. It was basically a random starfield generator and allowed you to place fractally generated suns, nebula and planets on the screen.

It seems it has vanished, I guess because pretty much every other program was able to do the same.

dunno if Celestia or free given away Bryce 5(with a lot of tweaking) could help you...
